I am having trouble locating a William Anderson. He went to Royal High School in Edinburgh and according to their roll of honour he died in 1941 and was lost at sea. He was in the R.A.F. Can’t seem to find him
Only two RAF casualties by that name in 1941 on CWGC: ANDERSON, WILLIAM Aircraftman 2nd Class Service Number 1345323 Died 19/08/1941 Aged 28 Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve Son of John and Mary Russell Anderson, of Edinburgh. M.A., Hons. (Edin.). ANDERSON, WILLIAM HAMILTON Sergeant Service Number 997631 Died 08/09/1941 Aged 21 104 Sqdn. Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve Son of David Vernon Anderson and Mary Ogilvie Anderson, of Glasgow. Both on the Runnymede Memorial. Either fit? Best, Steve.
