Buryl Kenneth Bonar
Military
IWM, Roger Freeman Collection
Object Number - FRE 5055 - A greeting card with the insginia of the 67th Bomb Squadron and the 44th Bomb Group.
28 missions with the 67th Bomb Squadron, 44th Bomb Group.
The last name appears in official records variously as BONAR and BONAL: the use of BONAR in the 384th Personnel database is predicated on the assignment orders, and the spelling on his gravestone.
There is no further documentation of his service with the 384th beyond his initial assignment. There is some indication that he served in the 44th BG 67th BS in B-24s, which list his 28 combat missions flown in 1945
