Seven decades after his bomber was shot down over Germany, the remains of an airman from Ottawa have been officially identified.
Genetic testing has confirmed that the remains found in a lake south of Bonn, Germany, in 2008 are those of Flight Sgt. John Joseph Carey, the Department of National Defence announced Monday.
Carey, a front air gunner, was just 22 when his Halifax bomber was shot down by German fighters on the night of Aug. 28, 1942. A German team of explosive-disposal experts conducting dives at the site in 2008 recovered human remains.
DND said the remains will be interred at Rheinberg War Cemetery in Germany on July 9. Members of Carey’s family, as well as representatives from the government of Canada and Canadian Armed Forces, will attend the ceremony.
