Attended New Plymouth Boys High School, New Plymouth Technical School (Source: RNZAF Biographies (R17845611)) AWMM - Donald Fraser Holder was born on 25 June 1922 in the small Taranaki township of Inglewood. After his education at Central School and New Plymouth Boys High School, he began a plumbing apprenticeship and also played football for the Albion Club, eventually representing Taranaki. He enlisted in the Air Force in 1941 and after two years of military combat training was sent to the United Kingdom in 1943. An aircraft accident meant he was injured for a while before being transferred to various units. He was finally commissioned as a Flying Officer and posted to Operation Squadron No 115 based at Witchford, Cambridgeshire. Flight Officer Holder was the pilot of a Lancaster bomber which crashed over Germany with all its bombs on board, on 27 August 1944. All of the crew on-board died. The cause of the crash was unknown. He has no known grave but is remembered on the Runnymede Memorial, England. There are photographs of Donald with his brother Stephen in the Swainson’s Studios photography collection at Puke Ariki, New Plymouth.Public - Louise - Researcher - 9 July 2019 - West, J. (1995).
