Thanks for the great pictures!

[BartSimpson]

Great post!

I especially liked the one fellow whose epitaph read, "For Canada".

[GreenTiger]

Very impressive. To say Thank You seem to be so little as these men did nothing short of saving the world. It is up to us to keep it that way.

He was probably a Canadian flying for the RAF.


I found a RH Dingle in RAF Flight Archives dating back to 1937.
