Hi again,

On the 25th May at least six bombs fell on Catterick A/F.
While on the 20th June several Districts were bomber it was reported that 8 were killed and up to 60 injured/
This from The Blitz then and now vol 1

They three all died on Active Service (rather than were killed) so maybe illness or accident
