Eric Raymond Robinson
Eric Raymond Robinson served with the Harris Crew as the mid-upper air gunner on three operations: Dortmund on February 20, 1945, Chemnitz on March 5, 1945 and the crew's final operation to Dessau on March 7, 1945.
After the crash, Robinson remains were buried by the Germans in Colbitz Cemetery. On September 16, 1948, his remains were disinterred and reburied the following day in the British Cemetery, Berlin in Plot 2, Row L, #20, next to crewmate Kenneth Smith. The engraving reads “His life a beautiful memory, His absence a silent grief.”
Robinson is also memorialized at The International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln, UK, phase 1, panel 91. Unfortunately no photos of Robinson are available.
