Hi guys

The above was killed in an air raid on 12 August 1940.

I have a note that he may have been killed by friendly fire.

Has anyone information, please?

Keep safe

Brian,

McColl's service number was 523177, not 523117. Correct it Mate, and I will delete this!

Brian,

I can only delete my posting, not yours. The moderators would need to alter the title, and your good self, the message.

Don't worry about it, it's of no great consequence. The hardest part is thinking up new excuses as to why we do these things at all!
