115 Czechoslovak airmen. One wreath. Never forgotten.
On Remembrance Sunday, 8 November 2026, Czech veterans and today’s serving soldiers of the Veterans Česká republika group, led by Tomáš Sláma, marched past the Cenotaph. Then they made their way to the Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park.
There they laid a wreath on behalf of FCAFA for the 115 Czechoslovak airmen who gave their lives with RAF Bomber Command in the Second World War.
Most of the 115 flew with 311 (Czechoslovak) Squadron from RAF Honington and RAF East Wretham between July 1940 and April 1942. They took the fight back to Germany night after night, far from a homeland under occupation. A few others served with British squadrons.
The Bomber Command Memorial, honours all 55,573 men of Bomber Command who never came home.
