PO Stephen Bull Bart

I'm reading "Wings Over Burma - 67 Squadron" by J H Thomas.

He mentions an officer who was captured and died in a Japanese captivity, but I can't find any details on CWGC.

Pilot Officer Stephen Bull Bart (AKA Stevie Bull)
Adjutant
67 Squadron

Capture Date - Unknown but around the time of the Singapore surrender (he elected to stay behind with the planes of 67 Squadron after the personnel were moved to Rangoon in September 1941).

No other details available.

Cheers
K

Were you looking for "Bart" that means Baronet I think.

Cheers Owen. The name was as given, and I assumed it to be literal. But thinking about the "alias" Stevie Bull, your suggestion makes sense.

Actually, I did see that entry but never made the connection. Ahh, you English with your titles - at least in India you bloody well know whose "royalty"

The "book" is actually more of a 90 page monograph written by an erk, and he only mentions casualties in passing - I thought I'd supplement the info with more details.
