Sgt Bell was buried with full military honours on the 8th of March along with Sgt Black (another East Moor airman killed on Ops). Another website gives some information into Sgt Ernie Bell's death it "was the first that was visible to the squadron. The Squdron would have to bury Ernie Bell. Jack Kerr had first met Ernie Bell on his trip from Regina to Montreal, after his embarkation leave, and with his P/O's uniform still brand new. Jack sat opposite a young laddie, blue eyed, blond hair and likeable, talkative little fellow as well. Jack and Ernie chateed about various things, they had alot in common. Ernie was a Sgt. Observer, just graduated from Rivers, and on his way to Montreal, his home. Jack ran into Ernie again at Halifax. Ernie and Jack travelled to England on the same ship, they chatted frequently, Ernie spent most of his time complaining about the food. Jack, being an officer ate in a different mess than Ernie a Sergeant." "On 8 March 1943 the Bisons buried their first casualties at home. The squadron padre, F/L H.G. Lowry served the funeral at 3 Sutton-On-The-Forest's village church, All Hallows. Padre Lowry was assisted by the parish priest Father Canon Coombs. At midday the bodies were interred at the local cemetary in Huby Road with full military honours. The Honour Guard, of course, was made up of personnel from 429 Squadron. To this point casualties had been almost impersonel. "

F/Sgt Conroy and his crew, whether it was this crew listed above I do not yet know.

Robert Conroy was born on 14th April 1941. prior to enlisting into the RCAF he was serving in Canada in the Army until October 1940. However it was only in May 1941 that his Army discharge went through so his first months in the RCAF were in Army uniform. He gained his Wings in December 1942. After he had recovered from the incident detailed above he would return to flying and P/O Densmore (J/17496) and WO Burns (J/144158), together with F/Sgt Conroy were shot down in Wellington HE593 on the 12th of June 1943, F/Sgt Conroy evaded capture and later returned to the UK, via Canada! The rest of his crew were sadly killed. After returning to the UK he returned to operational flying. Sadly he lost his life on the 24th of March 1944 after staying with damaged Halifax LV914 which had been damaged by an enemy aircraft; these actions allowed time for his crew to bale out but seriously injured himself he opted to try and crash-land the aircraft near Merbitz, near Halle, Germany. Whilst his crew became PoW, Conroy died before help could reach him and was initially buried by locals in the churchyard near the aircraft's crash site and one of these locals kept his identity. After the War he came forward and Conroy was re-interred in Berlin War Cemetery. A memorial was erected at the crash site in March 2009.
