Bluffdale • There is to be an honor guard, a bugle that plays taps and family to mourn Army Air Forces 2nd Lt. Lynn W. Hadfield — just as if his funeral had been held in 1945.
But Thursday’s funeral at 1 p.m. here at the Utah Veterans Cemetery & Memorial Park is 74 years coming. German anti-aircraft fire hit Hadfield’s A-26B on March 21, 1945, crashing the airplane and killing the 26-year-old Salt Lake City resident and his two crewmen.
The mourners Thursday were to include Mary Ann Turner, Hadfield’s daughter. She was 2 when her father died.
