This website is a tribute to my grandfather, Charles Clement Harpin. He was a tail gunner on B-24 Liberators, a member of the 8th Air Force and shot down over Harre, Belgium. He was a Prisoner of War at Stalag Luft IV POW Camp and was part of the "Black Death March". His story was told to me at a young age and always fascinated me.
