Seeking info on Greek Airman.
Hello,
Am seeking info on the following Greek Airman. VASSILAROS, P - Sgt - P.3628 - (RHAF) At some www site I found that he is at rest in Boksburg South African Cemetery, C of E section, Grave Number 736. Date of Death was the 7th October 1944. However, I now cannot find this site From what I remember he was in the RAFVR so possibly was in a RAF Greek Squadron and/or undergoing training in South Africa when he died. Anything on this airman is most welcome. Thanks Alex |

Greek airmen were trained in South Africa/Rhodesia during WWII.

Alex,
Website ancestor.co.za mentions (a) Paraskos Vassilaros with year 1944, but you have to log in/register for further details. Regards, Leendert |
