As to Szempliński, he was killed in a crash in bad weather in a Mosquito, together with RAF navigator, Frank Tillman. Tillman was buried next to him, I think.

Nice to hear Polish airmen are well remembered.
Szemplinski is buried in grave 12 while Tillman is buried in grave 8. Not next to each other, but pretty close.
