Sgt. Quinn was killed when Handley Page Halifax III MZ981 of 644 Squadron was lost on a training flight. The Halifax left R.A.F.

Initially they were buried in a local cemetery, then transferred to Marseilles.
Also killed in the same incident was Sgt. K. Smith
He is remembered in Blyth on B42.23 and in New Delaval on N51.01
