Kenneth was the son of Herschell Frank and Elizabeth Ingram, of Fratton, Portsmouth. On the 22nd June 1944 F/Sgt Ingram was the Flight Engineer in an Avro Lancaster Mk.I (LL840 VN-M) which took off from Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire at 23.17 hrs, to attack the synthetic oil plants at Scholven-Buer, North of Gelsenkirchen, in the heart of the Rhur Valley. The mighty bomber was shot down by a night fighter and crashed at Oene, Holland. Flight Sergeant Ingram managed to bale out and landed safely and was later picked up by Dutch locals. He remained in hiding until the Sicherheitsdienst, German Secret Police, set a trap in the house of Narda Terwisga and arrested Narda and most members of a local resistance group on the 28th September 1944. The SD were surprised to find two Allied airmen at the house, Robert Zercher, a Ball Turret Gunner of the 729th Bomber Squadron, 452nd Bomber Group, and Kenneth Ingram, who were both in civilian clothes. The SD knew that the two men were military and therefore they had to be treated as prisoners of war, but this did not happen. They were taken with by the Gestapo and shot on the 1st October 1944 along with Six Dutch Nationals, Wim Aalders, Jan Barendsen, Reinier Van Gerrevink, Wim Karreman, Jan Schut and Hans Wijma. The Germans laid their dead bodies in the streets of Apeldoorn, with a paper on their chests with the word 'Terrorist' written on it, to frighten the Apeldoorn population. After the war, a monument was erected in Apeldoorn to commemorate this atrocious war crime. There appears to be no explanation as to why the grave of Sgt. Zercher is dated October 4 1944. The body of F/Sgt Ingram is buried in the Ugchelen-Heidehof General Cemetery, Apeldoorn, Netherlands...
