Town salutes Canadian heroes
60 years later, Dutch community recalls how three airmen died
to save lives
By Roberta
COWAN
Special to The Globe and Mail Wednesday, November
27, 2002 -- Print Edition, Page A1
Amsterdam -- By the hundreds, with wreaths of red orchids and
white roses, they came to pay respects to the Canadians who saved
their town.
Young and old, they came to the Dutch Reform Church in Wilnis
to honour the three men who, in 1943, chose to go down with their
plane rather than risk many more lives in the Dutch community.
They came to pay thanks to the Canadian relatives -- 18 next
of kin -- who also were among the mourners. And after six decades,
they came to help put to rest one of the great mysteries of Canadian
military history.
Just about everyone in Wilnis turned up last night to view three
caskets that were draped in Canadian flags and bore the remains
of three airmen, whose Vickers Wellington bomber was shot down
by a German fighter on May 5, 1943.
Amazingly, the aircraft and the remains of Sergeants Adrien
THIBAUDEAU
and Joseph
WHITE/WHYTE sank in a bog and were discovered just two months
ago by a special search team. Some of the remains of a third
crew member, Warrant Officer Robert
MOULTON, were also found
in the plane.
The men will receive a full military funeral this morning at
Wilnis cemetery, presided over by two Canadian ministers and
a bagpiper, before all eyes in the town turn to a flypast of
Dutch military planes in the "lost man" formation -- three ahead
and one behind.
A military guard, representing all parts of the Canadian Forces,
will lead the procession, followed by Dutch war veterans and
many of the townspeople who remember the night the bomber crashed
in a nearby field rather than in their town.
In the town of 10,000 people, just south of Amsterdam, all schools
will also be closed so that children carrying Canadian flags
can line the route to the cemetery.
"Usque ad finem," a banner in the church reads. "Until the very
end."
For decades, the heroism of the Canadian crew that stayed with
their plane until the very end has been part of Wilnis lore.
Two of the five crew members parachuted out of the plane after
it was attacked during its return from a night raid in which
600 Allied planes raided Dortmund, just across the German border.
Although the two were taken prisoner by German forces and released
at the end of the war, they never knew what happened to the rest
of their crew. The two men, Sergeant Gordon
CARTER and Sergeant
Howard HODDINOTT, died many decades later.
Britain's Royal Air Force made efforts to recover the plane when
the war ended, but failed to do so, and the investigation was
put to rest. The families endured years of not knowing what happened
to their airmen.
Some of Warrant Officer
MOULTON's remains were found and buried
in the local cemetery decades ago. But with no evidence of Sgts.
THIBAUDEAU and
WHITE/WHYTE, they were listed as missing in action until
this year.
"My father went to Holland after the war to try and figure what
the hell happened to my brother," Sgt.
THIBAUDEAU's younger brother
Jean-Claude, now 70, said yesterday. "We were told he was lost
in flight, which means his plane crashed, but nobody knew where."
The renewed bid to find the bomber began several years ago, when,
prompted by a grand_son's history lesson, an older Wilnis man
came forward to say how he had watched the burning bomber crash
into a nearby farmer's field. With the country under Nazi invasion,
the lad snuck out of the family home and ran to find that the
plane had landed in a peat bog and was sinking quickly. The next
morning, only water remained.
A local teacher and others founded a group that fought reluctant
officials and red tape to have the plane excavated, a process
that concluded last September.
"Remarkably, the bomber, its contents and most importantly, the
remains of Sgts.
THIBAUDEAU and
WHITE/WHYTE, were fairly well preserved
in the peat," said Robert DE
JONG, head of the Dutch Royal Army's
excavation effort.
The Canadians planning to attend the service were of mixed emotions
yesterday -- nostalgic for times long past, sad for their lost
relatives and Friends, appreciative of the effort made in Wilnis.
Mr. THIBAUDEAU was moved by the discovery of his brother's remains,
calling it "painful" that it happened after the death of his
parents, who knew Adrien best.
Peggy CARTER, a Winnipeg woman whose navigator husband Sgt.
CARTER
died in 1990, hopes to be given her husband's ruler, which was
found in the wreckage. She and Jan
HODDINOTT, the widow of the
other PoW, were hoping to pay their respects on behalf of their
husbands.
"Although my husband rarely talked about the war or being a PoW,
and he never wanted to come back to Europe after the war ended,
he would have wanted to be here today to pay respect to his Friends,"
Mrs. CARTER said.
"It's so very sad that all this information came out after Gordon
died, because he really believed the plane crashed in the North
Sea," she added.
According to her husband's debriefing report, which he later
filed to Allied forces in Britain, Warrant Officer Moulton told
them to bail out two minutes after the bomber was hit. Sgt.
CARTER
woke up in a field, where a farm family found him and took him
in before handing him over to the Germans.
Mrs. CARTER's son Kevin, 51, said his father never faulted the
family who handed him over since Nazis were killing people for
harbouring Allied airmen.
