gen is an unknown quantity at this point
I have 3 remaining RAF casualties, one is a Cadet Sgt, name of Hughes W.A. Air Training Corps aged 18 who died 26/04/1942. Also his brother Hughes V.A. Aircraftman 2nd Class who died 12/02/1945, both buried in the same grave in a Didcot Church. And lastly but not least Dixon G.H. Warrant Officer (W. Op/Air Gnr) died 27/04/1945 buried in Didcot cemetery. I think maybe he died of wounds recieved while on a mission. I'll give the local newspapers a try and see if i can get something from there, if not i'll give those guys at rafcommands.com a try. If you can think of anywhere else i can check then please let me know, it would be hugely appreciated.
Regards
Mike
