Spidge, I'm visiting the in-laws in Carlisle this weekend. I'll try to get the Carlisle ones. Don't think that I'll get to Silloth or Haverigg this time. Roxy

Spidge, I've just checked out CWCG and found your chaps: (I can't post the details!) However, there are nearly 300 identified casualties in this cemetery so I'm not making any promises; but I will try! Roxy
Spidge, Sorry mate; my wife had far more pressing matters for me to attend to this weekend! I will try to escape the next time I'm there! Roxy

Thanks to the very helpful people at RAF Millom research who went out and photographed the five headstones at Haverigg for me. They also provided details on how a couple of the Airmen died. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.

Geoff, I'll try to get to Silloth when I'm next down at the in-laws. Can't promise anything - it's a little bit out of the way. I'll see what I can do. Roxy
