Edward is buried in The Rheinberg War Cemetery Plot 1, Row D, Grave 5. His Headstone a cross reads, E F Collins Pilot Royal Air Force 6th April 1942 Age 27. Memories keep you ever near, your loving wife and son David.
He was the son of Fredrick & Rosa May Collins and Husband of Phillis Elsie Collins of Highfields, Dursley, Gloucestershire. He was a Sgt of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 9 Sqdn.
