Sources Used - I used the Internet to find his grave through the NZ War Graves Commissions Web pagePublic - Frank - Other relative - 28 January 2016 - All the stories of his friend were told to me by my Grandmother. ( His mother ) and my Father ( His Brother ) who also was in the RNZAF as a pilot and he was luckily just arriving in England when the war finished. The photo you show of Jo on your web page, I have the original in perfect condition at home. This part of his history is oral and was told amoungst family members for years. unfortunately most have now died.

- I Have his log book, some medals, as well as my father'sPublic - Frank - Other relative - 28 January 2016 - I have Jo's log book, medals, the original photo' and his scroll. Combining the physical history of him in his log books etc, with the oral aspect from direct family it has been easy to work out both his personal and war history. Discovering his final resting place really is a bonus. Thanks to all who did this.
The only person who could tell me more was his brother ( my Father ) unfortunately he died in 1997
