Thanks Col.

You're right - Henk had them listed under that date:

http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...rmen-25-8-1943

I'd picked the serials up from here:

http://www.oldhaltonians.co.uk/pages...memb/ROH/Y.htm

Maybe someone else has the right details for Younger, unless he died of his injuries 6 months later...?

YOu can confirm that Raikes and Hicklin are registered in berwick, Scotland, and as I've said before, you don;t need credits.

Just enter their names and select a county to search in. Use the seclectable fields.

Younger does not appear to be in Berwick.

Younger's name is listed as Killed on Active Service. in different casualty list to Raikes and Hicklin.

[wwrsimon]

I've just got some credits for ScotlandsPeople: Allen Younger, aged 21, registered in Boyndie district of the county of Banff. Listed as 'Due to War Operations (Aircraft Crash)'. His father is J J Younger, and the time of death is listed as 09.15, although the date is 23 February.
