I went to the graveside last night and paid my respects.
The atmosphere was so peaceful there despite the proximity of the airfields. So many of those buried there are a long way from home. Canadians, New Zealanders and Australians (as was R.H. Middleton VC)
I noticed that despite the fact he was listed in the book as Flt Sgt. His grave is marked Pilot Officer.
Was this a posthumous promotion as a mark of repsect for his award?
