Thanks again Mike and also Paul. I doubt that the Halbey fight was the one in which Priddle was killed. The date is right but the timing not. Priddle was apparently on an afternoon high level PR task to Utrecht and was probably alone.
Paul, can I ask where you got the information on Priddle being burried initially at Breda? Odd isn't it.
Meanwhile, I'd be grateful for any further info on Priddle's last flight.
Thanks
Rob

Sorry for not having responded sooner, but pc problems...
There is a paper signed by the mayor of Breda mentioning the transfer of the bodies of the allied soldiers in the cemetery of Zuijlen (Breda) to the Commonwealth Cemetery at Bergen op Zoom on May 6, 1946.
The entry for Priddle reads:
35. Engelschman Th. A. Priddle Flying Off R.A.F. 134730 13).
13) is the number of the grave in Zuijlen Cem.
