Tail Gunner
I dont know how to say goodbye to a man I never knew.
Clifton. Tail gunner ,Lancaster bomber.
1942.
I tried to write his story but I came up short. Black man fighting to free the world in his Majesty's air corps.
1944
A man who answered the call.
One of many. One of a kind.
A man from the colonies..Belizean..
Family man, father, patriot.
Has fired his last round.
R.I.P.
