Seeking info on Greek Airman.

[Alex Smart]

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.

I have the same details as you, extracted from a file downloaded from the Air Force Deaths forum/group in 2006.

The following website is listing casualties of Greek Air Force, but has not your man:

Alex,

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