David Messerlie, a Greenfield native that now lives in Florida, attended ceremonies in England earlier this month honoring his uncle, Ewing Shields, a World War II casualty. Messerlie and his wife Carol attended a Veterans Day ceremony at the American Cemetery in Cambridge and then drove about two hours to Great Haseley, England to a ceremony to honor the 10 men who were killed 80 years ago in a plane crash.
