OBITUARIES OF ESCAPERS/EVADERS

Those listed below can be viewed, in some cases by visiting the website of the newspaper where specified. Some newspapers may have access requirements. The date shown is (ob) the date of the obituary or (d) the date of death. The names Daily Telegraph and The Times are registered Trade Marks. The editor is grateful to Mrs Diana Morgan for assistance on this list and welcomes notification of further evader/escaper obituaries or for anyone already listed.

Inclusion is based on the evader/escaper having served with any of the RAF, RAAF, RCAF, RNZAF, SAAF or being a recognised helper, irrespective of membership of RAFES (§ indicates non-members). It relies on the editor being informed so if you can provide a qualifying obituary or death, please contact him.
