Reason for Loss | It seems highly unlikely that this serviceman was with 57 Sqn, given that he is buried in Singapore. IBCC has yet to find any information to confirm or deny and invites the public to help in researching this loss. CWGC records indicate 57 Sqn and this has been confirmed not to be a scanning error, by reference to the original CWGC records. |
