Title: RAF crew shot down in WWII set to be buried in Italian war cemetery
Post by: mhm on July 18, 2013, 05:19:55 AM
The crew of an RAF Boston bomber are to be buried in a war cemetery in Italy, 68 years after their deaths.

The crew took off from Forli in northern Italy in the final days of World War II, but never returned and were thought to have been shot down.

The location of the remains of the three Britons and an Australian was unknown until an Italian team of amateur archaeologists discovered them near the city of Ferrara in 2011.
