W/O Lawrence (pow) states that while flying over Belgium the aircraft was hit, a large hole being torn in the fuselage opposite his position as wireless operator. The aircraft immediately got out of control and W/O Lawrence put on his parachute and stood up to speak P/O Rohrlach as the inter-communication system had been knocked out.
The next thing he remembers is that he was in mid-air with his parachute open. He considers that he was blown out of the aircraft by the explosion and that the rest of the crew would have had no opportunity to bale out.
The aircraft crashed at South of town Marche-en-Famenne, in the wood of Hargimont (Province of Luxemburg, Belgium)."
All were recovered and interred in the Marche Military cemetery, later they were buried at Hotton War Cemetery.
