Hi Philip,

Was this where the body was found ( ijsselmeer Urk) and transterred to Amersfoort (Oud Leusden) Cemetery?

There are another eleven Aussie RAAF/RAF lads there so the grave is with his countrymen!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
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? Check out this site:
