Hi,

I'm trying to find information on Benjamin and his family which may lead on to finding some of his living relatives.

Benjamin was a Sgt in the RAF (58 Squadron) born between 1916-1920 and died in 1940 whilst on a flight mission over Belgium. He was buried in Antwerp military cemetery, Schoonselhof along with four of his colleagues who were also on the flight mission.

Benjamin was a father to be, but he died before his daughter was born in 1941. Due to the circumstances of the time, his daughter (my mother) was given up for adoption. Now, she would like to learn more about her father and his family, and perhaps if he has any living relatives. We're all eager to learn any information about our relatives.

Many thanks
Jola
