St Lukes WW2 "Donald McCreesh Donald George McCreesh Flying Officer 176957 Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 354 Squadron died 11/3/45 CWG Column 447 Singapore Memorial Age 26 Son of William Arthur and Dora Ellen McCreesh of Salford."
Donald George McCreesh was a former pupil of Salford Grammar School, whose WW2 memorial plaque unfortunately had no names on it. The July 1932 edition of the School magazine lists him as having come third in the Under 14s hop, step & jump, and the February 1935 edition records that he had been awarded his School colours for Association Football. He also matriculated that year. The July 1939 edition next reported that he had passed his intermediate examination of the Incorporated Accountants Association. Three Consolidated Liberator heavy 4-engined bombers, not the RAF’s most loved aeroplane, were carrying out a sweep of the Tenasserin Coast, Burma. Aircraft "A" and "J" attacked a schooner which was left in a sinking condition, while the other Liberator, KG850 "Y" left the formation and was last seen flying along the west coast of Tavoy Island, Burma. A search by Liberators of the Strategic Air Force and an Air/Sea Rescue Catalina failed to find any trace of the missing aircraft. Donald was its skipper, and he and his nine crewmates were lost.
