Oberleutnant z.S. Adolf Van Hullen (* 15 Dec 1914) originally buried at Ipswich Municipal Cemetery, Space 20, Section X, Division 10. EM: 73045/49.

Now at Cannock Chase, Block 1, Grave No.226.

And for your interest, this was the first of 37 enemy aircraft to crash in Suffolk in WW 2. Note date 7 June 1940, not 8/9.

Thanks for that, Bob

I have the correct date recorded - don't know why I wrote 8/9th!!
