On the night of 5th/6th June 1944 a Stirling Paratroop aircraft carrying men of the Royal Engineers, crashed near the village of Grangues in Normandy. Four men died as a result of the crash and seven were disarmed and taken prisoner by the Germans. At some stage during the night L/Cpl Fraser was shot. His name is recorded on a memorial, close to the village where the atrocity took place.
