I will be going over to Holland/Germany sometime next year (April 2009 is a provisional date at the moment) so have added your man to my ever growing list. If you get it in the meantime let me know

Regards

Andy

 

Thanks Andy, it is much appreciated.

Thought you might like a glimpse of what the Cemetery looks like.

 

Thanks for posting that 51st.

Looks a very well kept cemetery.

There are 334 RAAF lads buried there.

 

Including this one!

28 September 1939

The first Australian to be killed in action was probably Wing Commander Ivan McLeod Cameron, who was serving with Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF) at the outbreak of war. Wing Commander Cameron, 110 Squadron RAF, was on a reconnaissance flight over Germany on 28 September 1939 when his Bristol Blenheim bomber, serial N6212, was intercepted and shot down by a German pilot, Feldwebel Klaus Faber, of l/JG I, Luftwaffe. The Blenheim crashed near Kiel, Germany. Wing Commander Cameron is buried at Reichswald Forest Cemetery, Kleve in Germany.

 

If there's space on your list for another photograph when you get there please snap me one of my grandad's brother.
