408 Sqd RCAF, no known crash site, 3 of the crew washed ashore in a dinghy at Rockanje at Nov. 12th. Unlikely that a body would float along the same route and wash ashore even more inland at Helvoet but not impossible

Airborne 1717 3Nov43 from Linton-on-Ouse. Presumed lost off the coast of Holland. Three are buried in Rotterdam (Crooswijk) General Cemetery, their bodies having been discovered in a dinghy washed ashore 12Nov43 near Rockanje. The others have no known graves. F/O Oien USAAF is commemorated on the Cambridge Memorial at Madingley. F/S R.A.Young RCAF KIA Sgt R.C.Smith RCAF KIA Sgt T.W.Hilliard RCAF KIA F/O H.S.Oien USAAF KIA F/O J.E.Sauve RCAF KIA F/S C.P.Miller RCAF KIA F/S C.M.MacDonald RCAF KIA "
