Re: Missing Wingcommanders
Hello Andy,
The text on the headstone says:
AN AIRMAN
OF THE
1939-1945
WAR
15 November 1943
KNOWN UNTO GOD.
The thing is that in 1946 this body was exhumed for examination by an RAF team. They wrote a note to the cemetery with the request of changing the text on the wooden cross to “an unknown RAF Wingcommander”.
I have written to the CWGC for clarification but no answer yet.
I will let you know when I hear from them.
Dennis
