Re: First burial place crew L-7312
Hello Alain,
I would say St.Trond since I have two letters (notification of death) of June 1942 in which it is noted that both P/O Simpson and Sgt Dickson are buried at St.Trond. No information however with regard to the graves number. I only have this info with regard to the Canadian members, but I would presume that the other 3 casualities were also buried there. Actually written is: "Information received through the International Red Cross Society states that this officer (Simpson) / airman (Dickson) is buried in the Cemetery at St.Trond, Belgium. - Dated at the Air Ministry, London, this day of June, 1942." All the best, Wim |

Re: First burial place crew L-7312
Another way of confirming might be via personal contact with the CWGC or Air Historical Branch
