    Many thanks. Found the memorial on the web . Coles contracted Tuberculosis (TB) through poor living conditions and lack of proper medical care at RAF Skellingthorpe and RAF Stargate, Lincolnshire (Bomber Command).
    No indication how Henning died.

    Regards, Tony

    Well Done. She was one of 1,297 lost when the S.S. Khedive Ismail was sunk in the Indian Ocean, the third worst shipping disaster of WW2. Of the 1,297 casualties 76 were female service casualties. The U-Boat that sank her was itself torpedoed and sunk three hours later by HMS Petard with no survivors.
