Hi Spidge thanks for the reply, here are the RAAF I have managed to find that died during the war. If you have more names for me (that are not listed below), that would be greatly appreciated. Names from North Coates Roll of Honour: (11 names) Died on 02.03.1942: P/O DH Bain – (pilot) RAAF Sgt KJ Lauder – RAAF Sgt DR Rytherford - RAAF Sgt WJ Jones - RAAF Died on 21.04.42: Sgt N White – RAAF Died on 28.04.42: Sgt JR Hoskins – RAAF Died on 11.05.42: Sgt C Scouller – RAAF Sgt PJ Donaghy – RAAF Sgt KW Higgston – RAAF Sgt KW Kermode – RAAF Died on 29.05.42: P/O DJ Richards – RAAF Thanks in advance Lorenzo.

thanks mate for the reply. Perhaps Higgston was another mistake on the honour roll? maybe he was RCAF, I will look into it, thanks, I'll keep you updated. In the thread in the Air War section too, I've added a post which makes account of how McClay died when RAF Coastal Command Liberator BZ724 crashed. Thanks Lorenzo.
Using Geoff's Search engine I looked for 11/05/1942 names beginning with H. 1 result. HEGGATON See here>> http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=1799870 EDIT. I see he is already on spidge's list. I imagine that is the "Higgston" you're looking for.
