I'm looking for May/June 1940 burials in the WW1 cemeteries in France and Belgium only (well, 1940 burials in general in any cemetery to be honest), mainly those associated with the battles of Wijtschaete , Amiens and Arras, though any will do (Army preferably).

Hi Dave,
I have just finished sorting all the Aussies that died in the RAF during WW2.
There were another 202 of these to add to the nearly 11,000 RAAF that died in total.
A number of these were buried on the continent during May-June and in 1939/1940 and of course all fly boys.
