LOL, more a case of Mark Lax pulling it all together and me reading his work! There's footnotes all the way through the book but these details appear to be what you can get off CWGC (DOB and POB, peacetime profession)?

Do you have/want the numbers for 454 to 459?............ |
96 all up, Spidgeman, but just did a quick count and came up with 35 RAF/RAFVR/RCAF/RNZAF so 61 would be right!
Would have the details for them all ranging from what the person was doing at the time of death (recce, convoy escort etc) to a series of anecdotes so if that can add to your bio records for a listing, Spidgeman, I'm happy to help. Give me a list and I'll put a spiel together on each person.
Same for 459 and 464 although I haven't been through them yet. I really should rip through
The Armed Rovers,
Silently into the Midst of Things,
Gremlin on My Shoulder and a couple of others I've read recently and send you bio details of RAAF losses where possible.
