ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO HIM, O LORD; AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON HIM
Mr. F. J. Siebert, of Seafield avenue, Kingswood, has received private advice that his son Flight-Lieut. J.A. Flight-Lieut. Siebert. DF.C. has been killed as the result of air operations. Flight-Lieut. Siebert was previously reported "missing, believed killed." The communication received by Mr. Siebert states that the crew of his son's plane are unwounded prisoners in Germany. Flight-Lieut. Siebert was awarded the D.F.C. last November. He was educated at Christian Brothers' College and Rostrevor, where he was a prefect and stroke of the college eight. He joined the R.A.F. in 1937, and entered the R.A.F. training station at Uxbridge, England, in August 1938. He was promoted to the rank of acting flight-lieutenant last year. He took part in a number of raids over Germany while attached to a bomber squadron.
