4th October 2007 - Burial of the Halifax airplane crew, shot down in August 1944
In cooperation with the Warsaw Uprising Museum and the Military Attaché of Canada in Warsaw we were involved in dispatching to Canada for identification purposes the remains found at the scene of the crash of the Halifax JP276 aircraft with the mixed British-Canadian crew, shot down in August 1944 by German fighters near Dabrowa Tarnowska.
After the identification procedures had been completed by the Canadian authorities the remains were sent to Warsaw and then forwarded by us to Cracow for burial.
The solemn setting of the ceremony in the garrison church in Cracow and in the allied soldiers section on the Rakowicki cemetery was taken care of by the representation sub-units and chaplains of the Canadian, British and Polish Army, with scouts and veterans.
