Hello,
I have some doubts about 936370 LAC Philip CASHMORE RAFVR being aboard No.271 Sqn Harrow K7011. I think it is more likely he was aboard the S.S. "Strathallan" which was torpedoed by U-562 on 21 December,1942.
Possibly, the CWGC has mistakenly entered "271 Squadron RAF", in lieu of, "No.2771 Sqn RAF Regiment.
Needs more research.
