    Hi,

    Totally stumped on this research, can anyone help at all, please.

    Flight Sergeant 633334 Michael Leslie SHARPE
    www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/1806950/SHARPE,%20MICHAEL%20LESLIE

    On Runnymede as serving with 59 Squadron at the time of his death.

    He was most probably with:-

    Arthur Simpson RIDDELL
    Casualty Details

    Charles Fraser ROGERSON
    Casualty Details

    Really struggling with their deaths.

    59 Squadron was based, I think, at Thorney Island but between October to December 1941 were detached to Bircham Newton. Does this have any bearing on their deaths ?

    Most grateful for any assistance,

    Cheers and regards,

    Graeme

    Drat, I have your book, it's the one resource I did not try due to what I saw on internet.

    Many thanks for your help, cannot try yet as I am on Kindle but will do as you say in the morning.

    Thanks once again for your assistance,

    Regards

    Morning Both,,

    Ross, feel really stupid, I have your book and have found the entry. Many thanks for taking the time to point me to it.

    When I looked at the Squadron on Google it stated Bomber Command to Fighter Command. Never mentioned Coastal hence I never looked.

    CL1, cheers, thanks for the Panel picture, appreciate it,

    Regards,

    Graeme
