By 109E-4/B Loss. LG2. 29/10/40.

I am currently putting together details of the loss of Bf 109 4B 'White B'. W.Nr 5562. It belonged to 4 (Schlacht) Staffel / Lehrgeschwader 2. And the loss followed an attack on North Weald on 29/10/40. The pilot is reported as being Feldwebel Hans-Joachim Rank who died of wounds at St Peters Hospital, Maldon following the incident. It was credited to Flt Lt Barton of 249 Squadron.

My queries are these.
1) Does anyone have knowledge of a photograph of this pilot or of the relevant unit around the time in question?
2) There is some question as to his true rank at the time of the incident, can anyone help confirm it please?
3) There is also some question over his first place of burial before his transfer to Cannock Chase?

I have access to the article on the Aircrew Remebrance Society site ref http://www.aircrewremembrancesociety...534/index.html, but these do not answer the above.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
