Though the headstone relates to Royal Air Force service, the emblem on the headstone indicates that this casualty of war was Czechoslovakian. One of many who were able to flee their homelands to fight a common enemy only to have their last resting place in this foreign field. Others of his nationality lie nearby. Perhaps they were victims of the same incident but who now will tell their story?
