Canadians Shared in Mandalay Blitz
With the R.C.A.F, in India, Jan. 16—One of the R.A.F. squadrons which took part in the devastating raid on Mandalay Saturday was led by Wing-Com. Hugo Beall of Lindsay. In all the attacking squadrons Canada was well represented
"Fires were started all over the target area," said Flt.-Sergt. Bonny Ronnelfitch of Creston, B.C. Ronnelfitch, a tail gunner, and another Canadian in the same crew, Flt.-Sergt. Ken Dicks of Fort William, added that "there were lots of explosions and the smoke rose, several thousand feet."
An all-Canadian crew skippered by Flt-Lieut. Art Brown of Grand Forks, B.C., commented on the lightness of the opposition. No enemy fighters attempted to interrupt. Two of the Canadians with Brown were F.O. W. Watters of Fredericton and Sergt. Don Feener of Liverpool, N.S. Among other Canadians in the raid were P.O. W.H. Kay, F.O. P.B. Key of Calgary, Sergt. Harold Dagg, Clanwilliam, Man.; Sergt. Ernie Harold, Sarnia, and Sergt, Norman Hope, Toronto.- Media Type
