Hi Dave

Thanks for your response, which has led me to investigate further.

Assuming JULY was a typo somewhere along the line, I thought that the name JUBY might be a contender - and I have now found a Sgt Dennis Albert JUBY, who was captured in Java and later lost his life when the hell ship Maru Suez was sunk.

Dennis was an air gunner but I'm unaware at the present time if he was 59 Squadron. I'll keep checking.

Cheers
Brian
