FLIGHT DISASTER AT SEA
Trawler found dead airman and wreckage at Anholt.
The crew of the fishing boat "Vale" from Träslövsläge made a terrible find in the vicinity of Anholt on Monday morning. Here it was observed that something special had happened, because on the surrounding water a lot of oil was floating and in addition, lots of debris were observed, from which it appeared that an accident had taken place. During the search among the rubble, they found the body of a dead man, who later proved to be a 21-year-old Canadian with the rank of sergeant.

The fishing boat "Vale", whose skipper is Birger Karlsson, stayed for a while at the scene of the accident. It soon became clear to the crew that it was the question of an aircraft crash, because apart from the dead airman, there were also a damaged rubber boat, parts of an airplane and also some rockets. Some of the finds were taken home to Träslövsläge. According to what one could also conclude from the wreckage, the accident must have occurred recently, probably during the night to Monday. The crew of the fishing boat examined the area fairly carefully, but no survivors from the plane were found.
Judging from the damage to the pilot, an explosion seems to have occurred on the plane before it landed in the water.
The airman found dead will be buried in Varberg on Friday.

CANADIAN PILOT BURIED YESTERDAY A solemn act in Varberg under military honors
Under extremely solemn and touching forms as well as military honors the remains of the Canadian Flight Sergeant Joseph Leo Gallipeau, who crashed near Anholt,  were buried yesterday at St. Jörgen's cemetery in Varberg.

The coffin, wrapped in the English flag, had previously been placed in the chapel of the New Cemetery. At the coffin, a guard of honor, consisting of six sub-officers from the home defence in Varberg, paraded.

The moving act began with an organ solo, performed by music director Urban Sjöqvist, after which the congregation sang psalm 377:1 "Nearer, My God, to Thee". Thereafter, the burial was performed according to the Catholic ritual by the clergyman of the Catholic Assembly in Gothenburg W. Meijerink, who also made a funeral oration. The act was closed with psalm 124:1 "Our God is A Mighty Fortress" and to the tones of a funeral march the coffin was brought out of the chapel and was taken to a newly furnished tomb near the place where another victim of the war, a Canadian airman, rested.

When the coffin was lowered into the grave, an honorary company saluted from the Varberg fortress.
Then proconsul R.G. Becker, Gothenburg, went up to the grave and made a moving speech. After that Captain Tyche spoke and laid a wreath from officers and sub-officers in Varberg.
Lieutenant H. Gewert delivered a final greeting from the emergency company in Varberg, and laid down a wreath.
Finally, a Danish refugee spoke and thanked for the effort the fallen airman has made also for Denmark.

Consul D. Jobson, Varberg, placed a flower bouquet. Finally, parson Meijerink performed a prayer, and a double quartet under the leadership of Mr Evert Seiving sang "Silent shadows".

People noticed one of the wreaths, given by unknown friends at Varberg's railway station with a red-green ribbon, with the inscription "One last salutation to a fallen hero". Consul Becker said a final thank you for all the honors.
