På årsdagen for ulykken, den 15. oktober 1945,
blev der afholdt en mindegudstjeneste, hvor den canadiske feltpræst Hockin
foretog jordpåkastelse." I årene efter krigen kom der jævnligt slægtninge
til de faldne flyvere på besøg på kirkegården - senest i august 2001. FAF: "On a minelaying operation
on 15 October 1944 Lancaster LM 208 was shot down by a German night fighter. The plane crashed into the outskirts of Låstrup,
here. All on board perished. One year after the crash, on 15 October 1945, a
memorial service was held, and the Canadian army chaplain Hockin officiated at
the
graveside ceremony." In the years after the war relatives of the
fallen airmen visited the cemetery from time to time - the latest visit took
place in August
2001. |
