Re: Beaufort Loss
Hello,
Thanks for the reply Henk. I wondered about the following candidates ? Sgt. (Pilot) C. R. F. Shackell.KOAS Sgt. (Wop/Ag) N. K. Millard. KOAS Sgt. (Nav) J. R. Longstaff. KOAS Sgt. (Obs) C. W. Furlong. KOAS Sgt. (A/g) R. E. Edgson. DoWoIOAS F/Lt. ( BAI) N. A. Butcher. KOAS Sgt. (Wop/Ag) B. C. Beard. KOAS Sgt. (Wop/Ag) A. C. Ashton. KIA Apart fro Sgt. Ashton what are your reasons for just the Runnymede Memorial names ? I see from the Davidstow link that a few days after a visit was made by a F/Lt. Ashton from 19 Group, (IIRC). Could this Ashton have been a relation or just a coincidence ? Thanks again for the reply , maybe others can perhaps add to the thread ? Alex Last edited by Alex Smart; 5th October 2011 at 19:35.

Re: Beaufort Loss
Mistake from this side. Agree with Jerry that ASHTON has a known grave.
Will check my files on remaining names. Henk.
