GraemeClarke Posted 1 February , 2019 Share Posted 1 February , 2019 Morning, Would anyone have any information regarding Lt. Z.S. Joachim von der Lieth-Thomsen or just Joachim Thomsen on CWGC https://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/6009911/thomsen,-joachim/ I know his father was was General Hermann von der Lieth-Thomsen co-founder of the Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte and that, as a naval flier, he was shot down over the Thames Estuary during Monday 9 July 1917. Also on board his aircraft may have been Wilhelm Lőwes. He was taken prisoner and later succumbed to to tachycardia and broncho-pneumonia. Any information regarding the circumstances of him being shot down, aircraft etc. would be most helpful. Many thanks, Regards, Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie2 Posted 1 February , 2019 Share Posted 1 February , 2019 (edited) Graeme, in case you were not aware Lt.z.S Thomsen and Löwe escaped from Sutton Bonnington PoW camp but were recaptured. https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/List/3001469/913/587/ Rd587 has multiple pages so you will need to scroll through, I think the last newpaper cutting is on Rd590.

GraemeClarke Posted 1 February , 2019 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2019 Hi Charlie, Brilliant, many thanks. I did not know such documents existed on the ICRC, an eye opener. Thanks again for your interest in this thread, Regards, Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
