229165 Cornelis Waardenburg DFC Royal Air Force 320 (Dutch) Sqd. (d.30th Aug 1944) In May 1940, Cornelis Waardenburg fought within the Dutch Army, on the Grebbeberg, the most fierce part of the front in Holland. He was a Reserve-Second Lieutenant then. He escaped to be a prisoner of war and flew to England. He was with the 139 Squadron and received a DFC. I don't know the circumstances why. Have you any information about him for me? He was a mate of my father during the fights on the Dutch front. Thank you in advance. Additional Information: I have just come across a burial record for this individual, while conducting family research (have googled him and come across your request). He was initially buried at Rudgwick parish church in Sussex on September 2nd 1944, by Rev A. Wynn. His address is given as Dunsfold Aerodrome which is 7 miles away. Subsequently, on July 15th 1965, his body was exhumed by the Dutch War Graves Foundation and transferred to Mill Hill Cemetery in London. A.
