Lt Chester F. Yokum (or Yokom)?- 10 Feb 1919
The Charleroi Cemetery in Belgium is the restng place for the Canadian Lt Chester F. Yokum who according his casualty card (incident) had crashed in a Dolphin of 23 Squadron.
His surname appears thus on his gravestone, but up till his Casualty Cards, Grave Registration Register and many other places it also appears as Yokom. His squadron has moreover changed into 59 Squadron (not reflected on his gravestone). Can one safely assume that the gravestone ultimately gives the correct spelling, even though on many previous occasions the name is written slightly different (see e.g.London Gazette, Flight Archives, National Archives..) ? Thanks for the info. Regards, Leendert
