COMPLETED Photo Request WW2 burial Wrexham Cemetery
« on: Sunday 10 January 10 14:52 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I have just found my dad's cousin's grave is in Wrexham Cemetery. He was in the RAF and died in 1942, presumably in an air crash near Wrexham.
His name is John Francis Eckersley aged 22. Died on August 21st 1942 and buried in Section D grave 9753.
If anyone visits there once the weather improve would you be so kind as to take a photograph of the grave please.
I'm posting another message on the Military board to find out more about the crash if I can
TIA
