Skyray,
You’re welcome. It was fun to be involved and do some sleuthing. You are seeing the “Power of PPRuNe” and the amazing resources on the Internet.
From Quemerford’s post, I see that one of the Wellington pilots has my unusual family name! Not a relative as far as I know, but a new line of search beckons me.
The reference to your great uncle being buried at Heliopolis allows me to mention the amazing job that the Commonwealth War Graves Commission does. I visited Taukkyan and Rangoon cemeteries in Myanmar last year. Both beautifully kept and amazingly tranquil places considering the violent history they commemorate.
