This photograph was sent home
by
François Rolland Pilon. He is shown
here with 4 other crew members of the ill-fated BB-343 (EQ-X) of the
408 Squadron, RCAF. His journal indicates he joined the 408
Squadron
on March 25, 1943. This photograph must have been taken sometime
between
that date and April 16, 1943. The following is our translation of the caption Rolland Pilon wrote on the back of this photograph: "Our Crew" Standing - from left to right -Lloyd Haines - bombadier - from Montréal -Tony Gielty - gunner - our good Scotsman -the "Navigator" (François Rolland Pilon) -Ronnie Winter - wireless, Englishman Kneeling: - Jacques Guay - pilot - from Québec P.S.
