Hi i am the same person as 904 safc!
My uncle Sgt Ernest Graham Hird was a rear gunner until his life was cut short on the return mission from Krefeld June 1943.
Today folk across the Netherlands will place candles at the gravesides of the fallen, those who gave their lives to help secure freedom for the peoples of Europe from tyranny.
I feel honoured that after so long these people still remember the sacrifices made by so many including that of my uncle who is buried at Makkum cemetery.
