The Town of Raymond and the British & Commonwealth Remembrance Project request the honor of your presence at a dedication ceremony to remember the service and sacrifice made by 2 Royal Navy pilots who perished in Sebago Lake when they crashed during a WWII training exercise on May 18, 1944.
Four planes were flying that day in formation from Brunswick Naval Air Station where Royal Navy Aircrew were training with American pilots for combat. While practicing emergency landing procedures over Sebago Lake, two of the aircraft collided. Both pilots, Sub Lt Vaughn Reginald Gill and Sub Lt Raymond L Knott, perished. The site was declared a war grave in 2003 by the State of Maine and the British Government.
The ceremony will be held at Veterans Memorial Park on Route 302 in Raymond, Maine, on May 17, 2024, at 11:30 in the morning.
Attendees include members of Sub Lt Gill’s family, Dr Peter Abbott OBE (the British Consul General to New England), Cdr Derek Powles RN (Assistant British Naval Attache Washington DC), and representatives of the British Officers Club of New England as well as dignitaries from the US and Maine government.
Please let me know if you would like to be involved in any way.
Please RSVP to Melissa McConkey at melissa.mcconkey@raymondmaine.org.
I look forward to seeing you at the dedication.
Sincerely yours,
Susan L Look

Take the Internet Demand Survey Here
For the past several years, the town has been involved with a regional broadband committee with the goals of bringing fast, reliable, and futureproof internet to the region. Many homes and business have no internet connectivity, and most that do must rely on service that may be unreliable or does not serve current needs.
We are working with Sebago Fiber, a local internet service provider, to bring fast, reliable fiber internet to homes and businesses in our community. The first step is for residents and businesses to fill out the demand survey. Areas with the most demand will be built first, so be sure to let us know if you’re interested in service by filling out the survey. Questions can be emailed to sebagoproject@sebagofiber.net.
