Re: 216 Squadron - 1919 - Lt. Sullivan and Lt. Westall
Paul,
Thanks for keeping an eye on the somewhat confusing dates for Lt. Hutton.
CWGC says 27.3.1919, Casualty Cards say both 27.3.1919 and 28.3.1919 while Grave Registration Documents have 29.3.1919 as date of death.....
Dutch newspapers of that time say that the airman was seriously injured (27.3.1919?) and later died in a hospital (at Heerlen, 28.3.1919?), still assuming that the Vaals accident was with Lt. Hutton.
Co-occupant of the DH-9A is not mentioned on his casualty cards.
Regards,
Leendert
