I sent you a pm which obviously didn't reach you. I tried to send you the gravestone photos for Rowland Ward and Colin Terras using the e-mail address in your profile, but it bounced. Can you advise the best way to get them to you please? Regards Max | |

You're Top Poster: #3 | Francis Debenham Milne - Arlington National Cemetery I do have the Headstone of Francis Milne RAAF. Arlington National Cemetery 33516 Milne_FD.jpg Pilot Officer Milne died on a World War II air mission while serving with a U. S. Aircrew on November 26, 1942. He was a member of a multinational flight crew whose remains were discovered in New Guinea in 1989. Since his remains, and those of the United States Army Air Corps Technical Sergeant (Joseph E. Paul), were individually unidentifiable, they were buried together in the same casket in grave 4754, Section 34, Arlington National Cemetery. This information was researched, and then located, due to a number of inquiries received from Australian citizens in November 1997. As far as can be determined, he is the only Australian thus far buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Each ANZAC Day 25 April, (our equivalent of the American Veterans Day) there is a small ceremony at the site by the RAAF staff in Washington, D.C. following the Commemorative Service in the National Cathedral. The Prime Minister of Australia joined in the tradition and visited the gravesite in 1997 during an official visit to Washington  In Memory of Pilot Officer FRANCIS DEBENHAM MILNE Royal Australian Air Force who died aged 25 on Thursday, 26th November 1942. Pilot Officer MILNE was the son of Francis Rupert and Mignonette Milne; husband of Nance May Milne, of Southport, Queensland. Remembered with honour ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, Virginia, United States of America.
