This is an unusual memorial. It commemorates the last of 60 airmen of the Luftwaffe to die over Suffolk during the War. But it also mentions a Sergeant from California: Peter J. Voye, who died when the JU88 strafed the Metfield airfield.

Sergeant Voye was a naturalized American citizen, born in Norway. He is buried at Cambridge.
