Warrant Officer Class II / Bomb Aimer of the Halifax MKIII bomber JD314 ZA-X of 10 Squadron RAF. The aircraft had taken off from RAF Melbourne at around 5pm for a mission to Berlin. At about 7pm, the aircraft was attacked by Oblt Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer in a Messerschmidt Bf110 night fighter from 12/NJG Leeuwarden. The Halifax crashed in which -after the bomb load had exploded- the entire crew of seven died. Of the seven crew members, six, including Robert Roos, were buried in Ruinerwold cemetery on 31 December 1944. Four of them could be identified. The identity of two others could not be established with certainty, and the seventh crew member was never found.
