Marg Liessens is holding the same bracelet that her father Albert is wearing in the photograph. The entire crew except for the pilot were killed when their plane was shot down over Germany in 1945. Unaware of its existance, Marg only discovered the bracelet had survived the war when it was sent to her by a relative last year. It now resides with the Nanton museum.
