SOE/OSS killed Greece 9 September 1944. On the 9th September 1944, both engines failed on a C47, flying in bad weather, whilst on a photographic reconnaissance mission over central Greece. The aircraft crashed into the side of a mountain near the hamlet of Stevenikon. As well as the crew on board the Dakota of 12th Troop Carrier Squadron (TCS) based in Brindisi were several members of both SOE Force 133 and their US counterparts the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Those lost on board were:
DAVISON P Captain Pilot (also CO 12th TCS)
VOLK J 2Lt Co-Pilot
QUEGAN E.L. Captain Navigator
GINGERESKY P S/Sgt Radio Operator
HOXSIE T Cpl Engineer
POBERAJ A AC2 Air Despatcher
FARISH L.M. Lt-Col OSS
HISCOCKS EH Lt-Col SOE
FORBES-HARRISS CR Major SOE
WATSON G Captain SOE
POTGIETER V Lt SOE
THOMAS KWC Cpl SOE
The resulting fire made individual identification impossible. As the majority of the victims were American, they were all laid to rest in the US National Military Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.
