Commonwealth War Cemetery [Cmentarz Brytyjskiej Wspólnoty Narodów]

Commonwealth War Cemetery
Located about 5km from the centre of town on the road to Kwidzyn, commemorating Commonwealth servicemen from both WWI and WWII and one of three similar cemeteries in Poland (the other two being in Poznań and Kraków), Malbork's haunting Commonwealth War Cemetery features several rows of simple graves marking the final resting places of 14 British soldiers from WWI and 232 British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand soldiers, sailors and airmen from WWII who either lost their lives on or over Polish soil or who died in the country as a POW.

    I am trying to find out any information about my Uncle, PO R.J (Jackie) Westgate who's squadron RAF 97 was shot down on July 11, 1942 - the cemetary log at Malbork shows that graveston is located Coll. grave 3. B. 12-14. I am hoping that someone may have a picture of his headstone showing his name. He was a Canadian based in Great Britain during WW2, died at age 21, shot down during a friendly flight in a Lancaster bomber, Ser#5696 departed Woodhall Spa at 1642 hrs.If anyone could tell me if there is an archived photo, or any other information, it would be wonderful to pass on to my Mother Jean, his younger sister. Thank you so much!
