Re: Missing Wingcommanders
Hello Andy,
The text on the headstone says: AN AIRMAN OF THE 1939-1945 WAR 15 November 1943 KNOWN UNTO GOD. The thing is that in 1946 this body was exhumed for examination by an RAF team. They wrote a note to the cemetery with the request of changing the text on the wooden cross to “an unknown RAF Wingcommander”. I have written to the CWGC for clarification but no answer yet. I will let you know when I hear from them. Dennis
