Earnshaw memorial unveiled By Murray Green
Camrose honoured RCAF flying officer Ken Earnshaw with a memorial project at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum. The museum society, together with the idea and work of the Camrose and Area Men’s Shed organized the project, that was dedicated on July 11, led by emcee Deb Trout of the museum society. Earnshaw’s niece Margaret Danielson of Calgary spoke about Ken and grand niece Clorissa Danielson Hall of Red Deer sang at the event. “Both Ken and sister
Nora were school teachers that worked in the Bashaw district. At some point Ken decided to enlist in the air force. He went to Edmonton to the recruiting station. He was contacted to fly a special mission called the Upkeep Bomb. It was a top secret mission to fly over Germany. They practiced flying 50 feet above the ground, not knowing what, when or why they were doing it. They were never told. It wasn’t until the day of the mission that they were told to take out three large dams in Germany,” said Margaret. The planes left knowing some might not make it back. Two of his crew sur-

vived, while Ken did not. Bomb aimer, F/Sgt J.W. Fraser and rear gunner P/O A.F. Burcher DFM, both survived the crash, and were taken prisoners of war. “Although damaged by this loss, my family was very proud. This will keep his memory alive,” said Margaret. The monument at the museum grounds was located directly in front of the Likeness School, which was relocated from south of Ohaton to the museum in 1966 and was the start of Earnshaw’s education journey. Kenneth Earnshaw was born in Bridlington, Yorkshire, England, on June 23, 1918, the son of Joseph George Earnshaw and Janet Hannah Green. Earnshaw had participated in 30 combat operations as a navigator prior to joining #617 Squadron on April 29, 1943. During the early morning hours of May 17, 1943, Lancaster ED 925, while participating in the Dambusters raid on the Mohne Dam, was set on fire and crashed about three miles southwest of Soest, Germany. The highly successful raid on the Mohne Dam claimed Earnshaw’s life, he was 24 years old. He is interred at the Rheinberg War Cemetery in Germany.
