🌹 Paying our respects to Pilot Officer John D. Crossman

We remember John at his memorial at Tablehurst Farm where he tragically fell, but you may not know that he wasn't buried in Forest Row.

If you wish to visit his grave, John is laid to rest at St Giles’ Churchyard in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire.

He was buried there to be near his two aunts who lived in the village, ensuring this brave Australian pilot had family close by. It is a peaceful spot and beautifully maintained for those who wish to pay their respects in person.

📍 Location: St Giles’ Church, Chalfont St Giles, HP8 4QF.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
