Now I have finally got my act together I would be grateful if anyone could assist with providing pictures of headstones from the following cemeteries.A couple of general views of the cemetery/churchyard would also be appreciated. Netheravon Cemetery 1. Fairchild 353800 RAFVR 13/07/1942 2. Matthews 119216 RAFVR 17/11/942 3. Hewitt 1376509 RAFVR 17/11/1942 Wilcot (Holy Cross) Smith 7364538 RAMC/181 AL Fd Amb 21/08/1944 Regards Andy
Swindon (Radnor Street) Plot C Grave 4252 Scott-Browne Andy, What happened on 4/4/44 ? Lots of KOSB dead that day. EDIT: Found it. 7th King's Own Scottish Borderers Unfortunately a disaster befell the Battalion in the early hours of the 4th April 1944, during an exercise codenamed Dreme, when a Stirling towing a Horsa carrying No.3 Platoon hit a tree on high ground and crashed, killing all aboard. 26 Borderers were killed, together with 6 RAF personnel and 2 glider pilots.
There is (1) Australian in the RAFVR from ww2 and (1) in the AFC and (1) in the RFC from WW1 that have come up through further research. If you can take a photograph of the headstone or know someone that can, please let me know. <table x:str="" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 595pt;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="793"><col style="width: 110pt;" width="146"> <col style="width: 53pt;" width="71"> <col style="width: 48pt;" span="3" width="64"> <col style="width: 288pt;" width="384"> <tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td class="xl22" style="height: 12.75pt; width: 110pt;" x:str="YOUNG, LEO " height="17" width="146">YOUNG, LEO </td> <td class="xl23" style="border-left: medium none; width: 53pt;" x:num="15302" width="71">22/11/1941 </td> <td class="xl22" style="border-left: medium none; width: 48pt;" width="64">RAFVR</td> <td class="xl22" style="border-left: medium none; width: 48pt;" width="64">UK</td> <td class="xl22" style="border-left: medium none; width: 48pt;" width="64">N.E. part.
