Re: Pilot, 2nd Lieutenant Robert L Wells USA

Civilians on CWGC are all recorded as war dead and you will see that all civilians are recorded by registration district. It was never intended that civilians would have CWGC burials. It is jyst that they are recorded.

Bear in mind that many service personnel who died in The UK or Ireland could be returned to their family for burial and those are buried in family plots with family headstones. Some such burials coukd not be accounted for at the wars end and so you would find service people recorded on screen wall memorials.
