re: Henry John Atkins W/O 149244 , attached to Number 2 Indian Wing at RAF Kohat, died in the British military hospital, Nowshera, of heatstroke

Jon many thanks again - but do you have an actual Date ? Interestingly Henry John Atkins W/O 149244 was still listed in 1945 AFL - His death obviously never made it to the Editors or was not listed in the RAF weekly ?? report - Can't think of the name for this now
