Tankertrashnav, whilst you are correct regarding the information held by the CWGC,it may be that the sister never knew about it. My own family never knew my Great Uncle had a grave,( CWGC told me of his burial site in 1988) as my Great Grand Father as immediate next of kin , had the painful duty both immediately after his death and post war of dealing with all matters regarding his death. He never communicated anything to any family members regarding his grave. My Great Uncle is the only one of his 7 crew members with no personal inscription on his headstone. The reason being ,his father decided he did not want one and something which the CWGC ,despite my attempts, will not change to this day. `The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there.`
