Title for image: Area of loss
Describe the image: Born on the 10th September 1921 at Auckland, the son of Frederick Woodney Rasmussen and Annie Shaw Rasmussen (née Ingram), of Remuera, Auckland, New Zealand. Prior to enlisting on the 18th December 1939 worked as a shop assistant for J.R McKenzies Ltd of Auckland. Thought to have§ been the youngest RNZAF member to be killed during the war. Just 19 flying hours logged and thought to have completed just the one operational sortie having just joining the squadron from 5 Operational Training Unit on the 29th August. The CWGC list him incorrectly as a pilot. Furthermore many list his christian name as Laurie, a relative informed Errol Martyn that Lauritz was the correct spelling.
