RAF War Graves-now with aircrews names - Chièvres, Belgium

Hi Kitching. ADM199 is the FEPOW expert. You might try him with a private message for more details about Changi and information about your rellie.  I dont know whether we have any Singapore members but you could have a look to see if there is a group on here for that area of the world.
If you want his service record you can pay for it from the RAF though if your Uncle has any NOK ie your grandparents or a wife still alive it would be better coming from them.  If he has a wife then it would be free...
Good luck and let us know what you find out.
Dee

HI

I know this is a long shot, but is there any way I could find a grave in Singapore, my great uncle Albert Whitford died 14th Feb 1942 I think in Changie ( not sure if this is how you spell it) prison he was age 22 and in the RAF

Details are on the CWGC site for your uncle

I hope you can help...I noticed that you have some photographs from Chievres. We are researching RAF 35 Squadron as my grandfather flew with them and would like photographs of the crew members who were buried at Chievres. If you have them would you be prepared to send us copies please:

Only came across this post recently and I'd like to add my thanks to Sarah for her original post and making photos available. My mother's cousin was William Macfarlane the pilot of Lancaster W4317. An extract of the book 'A Shaky Do' by Peter Cunliffe describing the raid in which his plane was lost is given here https://www.historicaltalks.co.uk/lancaster-w4317-qr-r-61-squadron
