Re: Loss of 138 Sqn Halifax V9976 20-21/4/1942

It is interesting to note that the original May 1948 paperwork dealing with the exhumation of the 8 airmen from their burial place in a mass grave on the side of "Blauberg Mountain" for removal to the war cemetery (reburial on 25 May 1948), specifically names Farley and each of the 7 Polish crew and only mentions these men, although current records of Durnbach War Cemetery show the 8 airmen plus two Austrian Civilians (Franz Loeschel and Lorenz Mraz). Generally I'd have expected to see mention of "two unknown" if other remains had been included in the task.
