Description
Studio portrait of 411768 Flight Sergeant (Fl Sgt) John Samuel Freeth, of 455 Squadron, RAAF. On 1943-04-30 Fl Sgt Freeth and his crew attacked and sank an enemy submarine with eight depth charges. It was considered an outstanding achievement, as the crew were untrained in the difficult skill of anti-submarine attack. Fl Sgt Freeth was lost on operations with 455 Squadron shortly after on 1943-05-24, when his Handley Page torpedo aircraft collided with a Bristol Beaufighter during an exercise offshore from Frazenburgh, UK. Fl Sgt Freeth has no known grave.
