Re: rcaf p-40 crash 2nd october 1942

Hello,

Could this be your man?

Name: RIDGWAY, ARNOLD
Initials: A
Nationality: Canadian
Rank: Pilot Officer
Regiment/Service: Royal Canadian Air force
Age: 27
Date of Death: 02/10/1942
Service No: J/13996
Additional information: Son of James and Mary Ridgway, of Outremont.
Casualty type: Commonwealth War dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: Sec. L5/2289A.
Cemetery: MONTREAL (MOUNT ROYAL) CEMETERY

No unit given above, but the CVWM gives Ridgway's unit as 14 Squadron.

No.14 (F) Sqn was operating Kittyhawks at this time. Could you be mistaken about the place of burial? (ROYAL OAK)/(MOUNT ROYAL), easily confused.

Col.
