G. G. Crawford

Hello all,

Is anybody able to offer more details on a P/O G. G. Crawford, RAF, originally from Christchurch, NZ who was killed on the 10th August 1940 and is buried in the Cotswalds. I am inclined to believe that he may have been with an OTU at the time of his death.

Any service details and if it was an air accident, details concerning this would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Tim
