RAF Air Gunners Celebrate with a Symbol of Luck and Honor
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph, we witness a group of RAF air gunners proudly displaying their enormous lucky horseshoe. This cherished memento was bestowed upon them during a prestigious "Wings" presentation ceremony held at the Bombing and Gunnery School in MacDonald, Manitoba, Canada. The distinguished guest who presented these brave men with their well-deserved accolades was none other than Air Marshal K. M. Cuthrie. The camaraderie among these heroes is evident as they stand shoulder to shoulder in two neat rows. In the front row from left to right, we have Sergeant C. E. Stevenson hailing from Leeds, followed by Sergeant L. M. Buck representing Malden in Surrey, and Sergeant L. M West proudly showcasing his roots in Holloway, London. Moving on to the back row from left to right are Sergeant R. Wilson originating from Stoke On Trent, alongside Sergeant L. G Brown who calls Upper Clapton home in London. Next is Night Sergeant J. Cockshott all the way from Steeton in Keighley Yorkshire; he stands tall beside Sergeant R. E Govier who hails from Northolt Middlesex and finally completing this remarkable lineup is Winston Fields' very own hero - Sergeant W. H Kenny of Leicestershire. This snapshot captures not only the pride etched across their faces but also serves as a poignant reminder of their service during World War II as part of
