| Memorial: | Durnbach War Cemetery Bad tolz Bayern Germany C oil, Grave 7. F. 18-22 This is an unusual collective grave given that the others are from other squadrons and one particular body is not only from a different squadron but also from a different date. This suggests that they may have died in various parts of Germany and buried together by the Army Graves Service. |
