Joseph Moureau

Joseph "Jeff" Moureau (13 April 1921 – 28 October 2020) was a Belgian fighter pilot of the 349th (Belgian) Squadron belonging to the Royal Air Force during World War II. A few months after their arrival in England both brothers joined the British air force, applying to be pilots.

Of note, Joseph's younger brother Xavier Moureau left Brussels in 1942 to reach England and join the Belgian army in exile. He was however intercepted near the demarcation line in France and detained by the Gestapo. He was then incarcerated as a political prisoner and sent to multiple concentration camps (Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald and Flossenbürg). After surviving the Mülsen death march in April 1945, he returned to Brussels but died shortly after arriving home due to tuberculosis contracted in the camps. He was 21 years old.
