"The text notes that 23 British trainees rest forever in the Arcadia cemetery."

As do the remains of John Paul Riddle who operated Carlstrom Field and constructed No. 5 B.F.T.S (my father's Alma Mater) at Clewiston Florida. It was his wish to be laid to rest with his fallen British trainees. His legacy is the Embry-Riddle University who are still a major U.S. flight training organisation
