There were Aussies there as well. I think there was a thread "somewhere" on the net. Will have to have a look.

What a treasure that book is .... the photographs ... the write ups are wonderful .... :clapping: Some researcher will be thrilled with that !
Dennis Burke brought it to our attention Number 1 British Flying Training School, Terrell, Texas, Volume 2 - RafCommands Forums He is currently working through the names to see if he can find matches on the LG and CWGC - will keep people informed.
I wonder if the 18 RAF pilots who died during air training are mentioned in CGWC - they look like CWGC headstones - would they be included as they didn't die in action ?? there is no mention of the Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery in CWGC ....... that I could see !
