  Sergeant Few was one of six airmen killed in the crash of 10 RCAF Squadron's Douglas Digby I (#739) aircraft which was engaged in guarding a convoy as it passed through the Strait of Belle Isle (the waterway separating Newfoundland from the Labrador Peninsula). Not until August 1956 was the crash site located 20 miles east of Port Saunders, in Newfoundland (which was not yet a part of Canada when the aircraft went missing in 1942). The airmen who perished in this aircraft accident were: Pilot Officer Douglas Earle COREY, Pilot Officer George Taylor CRERAR, Sergeant Thomas Harold FEW, Flight Sergeant Charles Harold FINNISS, Pilot Officer Edwin PADDEN and Pilot Officer Stanley St. George STUBBS.
