Title

Translation of document written by Thorsen with some thoughts about Sydney Fox's crashed aircraft.

Description

Includes some detail about Sydney Fox and W/O Reginald Burcher RAAF (Wireless Operator). Complains that RAF did not take much trouble with salvage of aircraft or identification of crew. This explains why there were so many commonwealth missing. He had met a member of rescue group for local airport who showed him where the aircraft came down and clear up had been done within a day. However, he found part of a skull as well as bits of armoured glass. He would be happy to show the exact place. points out problems with records of reburying the dead which were held by War Graves Commision and not available for research.
