(Nachtjagd Combat Archives 1944 Part 3 -Theo Boiten) | Injured/KiA 21st July 1944 | DFC promulgated in the London Gazette 14th July 1944. Citation reads: "Acting Flight Lieutenant Walter John BELL (174025), RAFVR, No. 15 Squadron. One night early in June, 1944, Flight Lieutenant Bell was pilot and captain of an aircraft detailed to attack a target in France. Shortly after bombing the target, he encountered two Messerschmitt 410. One of these, approaching from the port, was driven off by the gunners. At the same time the second opened fire and caused severe damage to the aircraft from cannons and machine guns. The gunners opened fire and hit the Messerschmitt on the fuselage. It dived and exploded in the air. A cannon shell had however, exploded . in the fuselage of Flight Lieutenant Bell's aircraft. The navigator was killed and the pilot sustained a slight injury. Part of the starboard wing was shot away, carrying with it the starboard aileron. The starboard inner engine then caught fire. The. front turret and instrument board were out of action and the brakes and flaps unserviceable. In this precarious position however, with assistance from the bomb aimer who took over the navigator's tasks, Flight Lieutenant Bell, though in pain from his wound, by skilful and determined airmanship succeeded in flying the damaged aircraft back to this country and executed a difficult crash landing with great coolness." 15 Sqn Lancaster I R5904 LS:L | ||||||||

It seems likely that his body was recovered and buried locally but his name is now listed on the Runnymede Memorial. By searching the internet for this airman a posting by his brother on a webforum in 2005 was found, he stated that he had a copy of a letter to his father from the Air Ministry in 1947 stating that Gilbert's body was buried in Forest-Sur-Marque Communal Cemetery. It is likely that the Post-War wargraves investigation team could not identify his body when they exhumed his remains so he is commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.(Aircraft Accidents in Yorkshire) Son of Frank and Mabel Annie Bell, of Exeter. | ||||||||
