We are very grateful to Allan Tyrrell for these photos of 615 (County of Surrey) Squadron at RAF Dohazari, Bengal. The Squadron were stationed there between 13th December, 1943, and 25th November, 1944.
Bill’s original captions on the reverse of the prints are shown alongside the photos.
Tony Adams has written an excellent article about 615 Squadron’s time at Dohazari which you can read here.
