Re: F/O Robert P. Davis - T-121833 - KIA 19-9-1944
Thanks, Rolland, for providing whole article. The Royal Artillery chaplain clearly states 'the Belgian coast at Osteno...', which certainly must be Ostend. Town housed RA AA unit(s) at that time (recently arrived 99 HAA Reg't, 52 AA Bde?)
As was the custom, the chaplain used the French name for a street in Dutch speaking Ostend (Oostende), rue de Deniers, which however must translate in present day Stuiverstraat with the (also main CWGC) Oostende New Communal Cemetery.
Will try to find out more locally about this somewhat unknown crash...
Regards,
Leendert
