    BIRCHALL , FREDERICK GEORGE Squadron Leader 252031 RAAF Headquarters Melbourne 17/04/1946 47 Royal Australian Air Force Australian 4. D. 5. JAKARTA WAR CEMETERY

    McDONALD , HECTOR MURDOCH Flight Lieutenant 120571 RAAF Headquarters (NW Area) Darwin 17/04/1946 43 Royal Australian Air Force Australian 4. F. 2. JAKARTA WAR CEMETERY







    While looking for info in The Fighting Cock – being the history of the 23rd Indian Division, 1942 – 1947 by Lieutenant Colonel A.J.F. Doulton

    I came across a snippet on “two Australians and a RAF officer” murdered by Indonesian extremists on 17 April 1946 – checking the CWGC only provides details on a pair of RAAF officers and an Aussie army officer.

    The National Archives of Australia (NAA) has a digitised file (169 folios) titled - [Compensation - Accidents in Service] - Deaths of Squadron Leader F G Birchall (252031) and Flight Lieutenant H M Macdonald (120571) - Claims for compensation [2cm]. This file has details on compensation paid to their NoK by the Indonesian government circa 1950

    Both Birchall & Macdonald have digitised personnel files plus Birchall has two other digitised files – a small one on Pension action and a large one (185 folios) on his actual loss (casualty file).

    Killed in the same ambush was Captain MacKENZIE, ALASTAIR NORMAN VX74 of A.I.F. 3 P. W. Contact and Enquiry Unit – his pers file has also been digitised by the NAA



    Seeing as every possible file for these casualties has been digitised I would presume that someone, somewhere is researching this incident – I don’t think I have seen such a collection already scanned in before.

    Hello - I'm new to this board - I noticed above that there was a reference to RAAF 16954 Flt Sgt J I Vetter, (Flight Mechanic) - John Irwin Vetter. He is an ancestor of mine, and I wondered if there is a photograph in your collection of his grave?

    Try contacting this website, it is likely that they will have a photograph of John Vetter's grave:
