In the February FTM on page 7 we included a piece about 10 British Airmen's graves and two officers' graves. Betty Harmsworth has sent us photographs of each of the graves and you can view them here, just click the links below. If you would like a copy of one of the photos please contact Helen Tovey at helen.t@family-tree.co.uk Betty believes all these men died in a training accident in Estevan, Saskatchewan on 29 July 1943, although not all the graves give this date.
