First burial place crew L-7312
 
On October 13 1941 Manchester L-7321 from No 207 Sqdn was lost near Hozémont in Belgium . Those who died are buried at the Heverlee war Cemetery in Belgium.
P/O Unsworth Joseph piloot DFM 45306 (KIA) - P/O Simpson William.E. RCAF (KIA) obs J/5321 - F/S Moulding Ernest. (KIA) wop 621167 - Sgt Dickson Alexander.F. RCAF (KIA) gunner R/58430 - P/O Mason Frank. (KIA) gunner 946342
What I’m looking for is the place where this crew was buried first.

Hello Alain,

I would say St.Trond since I have two letters (notification of death) of June 1942 in which it is noted that both P/O Simpson and Sgt Dickson are buried at St.Trond. No information however with regard to the graves number. I only have this info with regard to the Canadian members, but I would presume that the other 3 casualities were also buried there.
Actually written is: "Information received through the International Red Cross Society states that this officer (Simpson) / airman (Dickson) is buried in the Cemetery at St.Trond, Belgium. - Dated at the Air Ministry, London, this day of June, 1942."

All the best,

Wim

Another way of confirming might be via personal contact with the CWGC or Air Historical Branch
