This Anzac Day, 102-year-old WWII veteran Jack Marshall will, as always, be thinking of his skipper. Marshall, a tail gunner who flew 46 missions during the war and received the Distinguished Flying Cross, now lives at Anthony Wilding Retirement Village in Christchurch. He will attend an Anzac service there on Tuesday and his mind will once again go to his old captain, Fraser Barron. “The crews changed a bit, but the skipper [Fraser] I had the whole of the second tour,” Marshall said.
