George Sterling HABKIRK, born 18 August 1922. He passed
away 13 July 1970, age 47. He was
known as Sterling. He was a wireless
airgunner with the RCAF, and he saw a lot of action during
WWII. His plane was shot down by a German
gunboat in the Baltic sea. Apparently they went too
close to what they thought was a German
fishing boat and ended up in a prisoner of war camp for
years. "Sterling" was also a finish
carpenter. View his
gravestone.
