| 7/8 January, 1945; MUNICH:
Bomber Command departed from its recent Army support operations
to deliver Munich's final major raid of the war. An area attack
was to be carried out by 645 Lancasters led by 9 Mosquitoes. The squadron's aircraft had arrived over Munich around 20.30hrs Flak and fighters had been active - a total of 15 Lancasters with their crews failed to return. These losses included V-Victor from 49 Squadron: Sadly F/O Alec Bolter (PB586) and crew all perished when their aircraft came down in France. Their graves are in Villeneuve-St.Georges Cemetery near Seine-et-Oise, with one exception; W/O 'Dusty' Miller RAAF, a spare W/AG on the squadron, was flying with the Bolter crew this night, but does not appear to have been buried with them. His name appears in the 5 Group Roll of Honour as he is still listed as missing. PB586 (EA-V) F/O A.J. Bolter Pilot (Killed) Sgt J. Court F/E (Killed) Sgt T.E. Walker NAV (Killed) W/O F.C.
