Killed:
Bankowski P.R., Domański J., Paleniczek W. and Sieczka W.

Bankowski P.R. washed ashore on 19.6.1941 and he was buried in the Roman Catholic Cemetery of Nes. Row 1 Grave 7. Later on he was exhumed and transferred for unknown reasons to the British War Cemetery "Jonkerbos" at Nijmegen. Grave 7.J.2.

Domański J. washed ashore on 2.7.1941 and he has been buried in the Roman Catholic Cemetery of Nes. Later on he was exhumed and transferred to the British War Cemetery "Jonkerbos" at Nijmegen. Grave 7.J.4.

Paleniczek W. is still missed.

According to records the body of Sieckza W. has been recovered from the sea by Germans and he has been buried in the Roman Catholic Cemetery of Nes. Row 1 Grave 8.
Later on he was exhumed and transferred to the British War Cemetery "Jonkerbos" at Nijmegen but his grave is not to be found there but in view of the foregoing it looks as if the "Unknown Airman" buried in grave 7.J.3. is likely to be Sieckza W.
