Douglas Bank, Dunfermline posted. Grateful if you could give more information on the 3 individuals with same date of death. I was discussing it down at the pub and we are intrigued as 99% of war graves are naval related.
Cheers. |

If you are looking at 31st March 1943, there were no bomber command crashes with those names, nor bomber command operational training units so it would be either a transport aircraft or coastal command, neither of which have crash histories yet released in book form.

In a recent contact with "spidge" it seems that the only outstanding gravestone in Scotland is in Rutherglen Cemetery for:
Name: THOMSON, CRAIG SLOAN
Initials: C S
Nationality: Australian
Rank: Sergeant
Regiment/Service: Royal Australian Air Force
Age: 20
Date of Death: 04/11/1942
Service No: 411408
Additional information: Son of Robert and Mary Thomson, of Granville, New South Wales, Australia.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: Div. E. Grave 745.
Cemetery: RUTHERGLEN CEMETERY
His death was registered in Newmarket, Suffolk - so presumably there was a Scottish connection?
