WW2 US PLANE CRASH<br />
The dedication was<br />
conducted and completed<br />
at the Field Dalling and<br />

scheduled. The ceremony<br />
was divided into three<br />
parts: speech and service<br />
delivered by Nigel<br />
Crossland and the Rev‟d<br />
Ian Whittle respectively followed by the honour guard.<br />
The honour guard was undertaken by dress uniformed<br />
US military personnel from 100ARF Wing based at<br />
RAF Mildenhall and comprised a rifle attention detail<br />
followed by bugle ceremony outside. It was attended by<br />
about 35 people, several of whom, came with their<br />
jeeps/army ambulance from a WW2 military vehicle<br />
club. Catering (provided by the Rogers‟ family),<br />
including a special cake (bearing the 466BG insignia)<br />
was a very pleasant extra component in the events and<br />
