Marriage of Verdun Ruth Norris (nee Gardham) and John Charles Cox

[bbart]

  He is on the Bomber Command losses on Ancestry but I don't know the exact circumstances of how he died. 

If you are interested, his service file has the very sad details.
Unlike WW1 files, WW2 has a lot more information on each man, based on a questionnaire to learn the personalities of each man, and a lot more.  I loved his answer to why he wanted to sign up.... "I'm British."

That is a very erm....graphic description of his injuries...poor man, all four of them killed.  I'm surprised there is nothing I can find in the UK newspapers about it.
