Local Memorial - Family grave St. Basil's church, Bassaleg.

RAF BOMBER COMMAND OPERATIONS 1944.
Night Ops, April 5/6th, Wednesday night and early Thursday.
1) TOULOUSE - 144 Lancasters and 1 Mosquito (flown by 617's CO, Leonard Cheshire) all from 5 Group. This was a very successful attack on the aircraft factory, with minimum French civilian casualties, as Cheshire flew low over the factory twice to allow the workers time to get to the shelters and only dropped his markers with amazing accuracy on the third run. A report from Toulouse confirms that the factory was severely damaged. Cheshire's 3 runs also gave the local inhabitants time to take shelter or run into fields, but 22 people were killed and 45 injured when 100 houses near the factory were hit.
Within hours of this operation, Harris informed Cochrane that 5 Group could now act as an independent force and that he was returning the two squadrons (83 and 97) from 8 Group to 5 Group (from where they had gone to PFF in the first place). More Mosquitoes were provided for 617 Sqdn and 8 Group was ordered to release 627 (Mosquito) Squadron to 5 Group also. Needless to say that this did not go down well with Bennett and further stoked the animosity between these two Group Commanders. One of the Lancasters failed to return:-
207 Sqdn, Lancaster I, ME 685, EM-C, W/O. J. R. Senior and crew were hit by flak over the target and blew up in the air. +++++++.
2) Minor Ops - 24 Stirlings gardening off Biscay ports and 37 aircraft on Resistance operations. All 61 these aircraft returned safely.

Update - In February 2016, the MoD have accepted that William above now qualifies as war dead. This was documention I sent them proved that he died from the same injuries as he was discharged from the army for.

From information received I am told that this gentleman was suffering from "shell shock" from his experiences in World War One and subsequently died in a local mental institution. For that reason I consider him to be one of "Newport's War Dead", Attached below is the Medical Board's assessment that he is totally unfit for duty attributed to service.

Raymond Steed was born Monday, 1^st October 198 at 2 Kimbely Terrace, Malpas, St Mellons Road and was at the time youngest recorded service death of WWII who died aged 14 years & 207 days.

Raymond’s official service record (CRS10) shows he joined the Merchant Navy Reserve Pool (MNRP) 29^th December 1942, just two months after his 14^th birthday, joining his first ship as a Stewards boy at Newport the same day. The ship being the former Royal Mail Line, 15,629grt., SS Atlantis which had been converted into a Hospital Ship in 1939. He left this ship 13^th March 1943. After taking his leave Raymond joined the Empire Morn at Newport on 4^th April 1943.

Catapult Aircraft Merchant Ship, Empire Morn, 7,092grt. (MOWT, Headlam & Son-Whitby) had loaded with a cargo of naval, military and RAF equipment for Casablanca & Gibraltar left Milford Haven sailing to the Barry Roads anchorage while waiting to join up with the combined 69 ship convoy OS-46/KMS-13 which sailed from Liverpool on 15^th April 1943.

On 24^th April the convoy split into two and continued to their individual ports of call. On the evening of Monday 26^th April at 9.45pm an explosion rocks the ship followed by a secondary explosion in the ships magazine seriously damaging the stern of the ship and blowing out a greater portion of the crew accommodation. At 10.05pm the captain decides to temporarily abandon ship until daybreak to assess the situation further. A thorough search and head count reveals twenty-one men are missing before the ships lifeboats are launched. The following morning at 5.30am the ships Captain, all his Officers and three crew members, re-board the ship and assisted in working the vessel into Casablanca with the assistance of the salvage tug USN Cherokee.

On 28^th April at 2.30pm during a further search through the wreckage of the crew accommodation, the remains of of two crew members were found and extricated and immediately recognised as that of Raymond Steed and John W Gardner, an 18year old Ordinary Seaman. Identity papers found on both the bodies confirmed without doubt who they were and it has was stated that both men had been killed instantly in the explosion. The remains of the other nineteen killed were never found either being blown over board or incinerated. On 29^th April 1943 at 2.00pm the bodies on Raymond and John were laid to rest at the Ben M’Sik Cemetery about six kilometres from Casablanca town centre which lies between the main road to Marrakech and the road known as Oulad Zianc. Present at the service was the Captain, all Officers and surviving crew who could be spared from duty.
