Hello,
I’m wondering if anyone has any way of getting info on the above and how he died?
By way of background, whilst researching the family history, I visited the cemetery where numerous members of my husband’s family are buried. I found it a strange coincidence, as a relative whose father was from Rostrevor, a small village, also served with RAFVR and died aged 20 after crashing his plane in 1940.
Thanks,
d
