If not buried in the local village on that date or the day after 30/31st maybe you could look at cemeteries around the area and look for a denominator.

Where was the nearest RAF base or CWGC Cemetery to the crash site.

This has all CWGC cemeteries in Lincolnshire:

CWGC Cemeteries - E England

There are 334 in Lincolnshire from Alford to Wrangle.

The system is out of Alphabetical order so it is best to copy it onto an XLS sheet and sort it back to full alphabetical.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
