Hello

BEVAN's death not mentioned in No. 137 Wing ORB. The Wing had moved from B50 Vitry-en-Artois (France) to Gilze-Rijen in the Netherlands on 22nd April 1945, so I presume that he had been sent, before that move, to Lille hospital, like some other members of No. 137 Wing, and that he died there.
