Flying Officer Leslie Charles Zeffertt was a British airman of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve who died during the Second World War.
He was born in 1922, at Newport, Wales, the son of Wolfe and Hettie (or Esther) Zeffert (née Abrahamson), later of Tooting, Surrey.
Zeffert, serving as a wireless operator and air gunner in 106 Squadron, died on 8 July 1944, when his Avro Lancaster (serial PB144) was struck by flak and crashed at La Fusee, with the loss of the entire crew. The Lancaster had been directed to attack a flying bomb depot at Saint-Leu-d'Esserent.[1]
He is buried in St-Genevieve Communal Cemetery.
