Revd. Mr William Jacque

A friend of mine in Boston asked me to track down a memoir of this man. This involved a trip to the National Library of Ireland to copy the document, which was written around 1690. I am making the copy available to the public to avoid anyone else having to traipse down there and copy it.

B17F "Stinky", Athenry, Jan 1943

IWM, Roger freeman collection

Research I am doing on the navigational and crew resource management factors that led to a B17 full of generals leaving Gibraltar for Cornwall and ending up in a field near Athenry, Co. Galway.
