A cemetery all of their own! I came across an interesting piece doing some research today on the AFC. Name: Jefferys, Ernest Howard Rank: Corporal Cadet. Service Number: 747 Regiment: 6th Squadron, Australian Flying Corps Age: 23 Place of Enlistment: Kuring-gai, NSW Date of Death: 28 August 1918 Place of Death: Leighterton, Gloucestershire, England Battle: Memorial/Cemetery: Leighterton Church Cemetery, Gloucestershire, England Relationships: Son of Peter and Rose Elizabeth Howard Jefferys, of the Railway Station, Kuring-gai, NSW Other: Cadet Jefferys is listed as having died in an aeroplane accident while training to become a Flying Officer Pilot. He collided with another aircraft. On the same day 2 other Australians died at Leighterton, Lieutenant Charles Scott and 2nd Lieutenant Roy Cummings. All 23 war dead in the Leighterton cemetery belong to the Australian Flying Corp, who where based at the 6th Training Squadron, Leighterton.
