Many thanks, sincerely,
to the emailer who sent the information about ND360 and crew,
especially for the photo of Jimmie Ives's inscription on the
Runnymede Memorial, tablet 214.
Your email also serves
to flag-up a fact recently pointed out to me by 'web-man the boy
genius' – that cousin Jim does not have his own dedicated page on
the website. This will be remedied on the revised website (which is
coming very soon). However – Jim's story and those of his
crew-mates are detailed in 'Does Life Hold Any More in Store?' - of
which copies are still available (this website is really an adjunct
to the book). Please don't be put-off by Pay-pal - it is an easy and secure system, but if you want to
pay by other means send me an email via the 'contact' page.
Four crew members of ND360 were commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial because their remains could not be identified. As Lilian recounted to me - Jim's crowning glory was his bright auburn, wavy hair.
Exhumation reports identified remains interred in Plot 1, Row 6, Grave 14 of the cemetery at Doberitz-Elsgrund:-
2nd body in grave.
Description of body : Badly smashed, little remained.
Hair: Brown wavy hair.
Clothing: None
Remarks: Reinterred in British Cemetery HEERSTRASSE, BERLIN:
Plot: 7 Row: F Grave 15

After several years in the ground would auburn hair appear brown? This is my best guess at Jimmie Ives's resting place. An unknown Airman.
