Les Rutherford was part of the rear-guard defence of Dunkirk in
1940. He escaped to England in a most novel fashion and later
volunteered for the Royal Air Force, becoming a bomb aimer on WWII
Lancasters.
He completed 23 operations with 50 Squadron from RAF Skellingthorpe
but was shot down by a fighter on his 24th operation.
He spent the rest of the war as a prisoner of war at Stalag Luft
III, the location of the famed Great Escape.
