Calling all MacKenzie’s – Dutch historians searching for relatives of 26-year-old navigator from Belleville John Irven MacKenzie – KIA WWII

Dutch historians searching for relatives of 26-year-old navigator from Belleville John Irven MacKenzie, who was KIA when his bomber was shot down over Leusden, Netherlands on Feb. 3, 1943. Please share, the goal is to raise a monument to MacKenzie and his fellow crew members, to honour their sacrifice.

A genealogy website lists MacKenzie’s widow, Doris (Lyons) MacKenzie, as having died in 2008. It adds they had three children: son James Ian MacKenzie, who died in 1990 in his 61st year, and two children which the website notes are not named because they are still alive.
