He operated between October 1943 and March 1944 on deep penetration raids in atrocious weather conditions - mostly during the battle of Berlin. He was shot down on his 22nd operation. Dick had a miraculous escape trying to control his blazing Lancaster carrying a full bomb load, when the petrol tanks exploded they hurled him unconscious into the night sky. After spending several months in P.O.W.

After seven days marching in snow and ice in sub-zero temperatures, they arrived at Lukenwalde which was a camp for war prisoners - including Russian and forced labour.
