FS R.P. Strain and five other crew members were also killed. The following letter appeared in the Montreal Gazette on Sep 3/70, “Sir, – On Aug  19th, 1970, I was at Champignol, a small French village about 30 miles east of Troyes, where I visited the graves of seven airmen who died on Nov 7th, 1942. They were three Englishmen, one Australian, one South African, and two Canadians: R92290 Flight Sergeant R.P. Strain, and R100363 Flight Sergeant C.W.W. Peck DFM. Two more, both Britishers, fell on May 4th, 1942 and were buried along-side of them. I was extremely surprised and touched to see four freshly cut white gladioli on the grave of F/L Sgt Peck. They had obviously been placed there on the preceeding afternoon. I was told that this was done by the local villagers, some coming even from Bar-sur-Aube to put fresh cut flowers on those graves. When Pastor, Joseph Zeltz, saw my interest, he brought the parish register of 1942 and I thought that the following entry, which I translate from the French, might be of interest to some of your readers: On Nov 10, 1942, I, the undersigned, Pastor of Champignol, gave church burial to four airmen, killed on Nov 7 on the territory of the township. Three of them were carbonized. The fourth, named Raymond whom they think may be a Canadian (later identified as Sgt W.J. Rose, a Rhodesian) is buried first from the left. On Nov 15, the body of a fifth member of the crew, found in the wood, was buried alongside the first four graves, to the left. On Jan 10, 1943, two more bodies were found in the wood, not far from where the plane fell. They were buried to the left of the first five graves. Signed: E. Soucat. This may perhaps reach some relatives or friends of these war heroes. They may be relieved to know how lovingly the memory of their departed ones is still cherished after 28 years, by a grateful people.” J. Ledit.
