Details: 21/01/44 Age 24 IX. A. 32. Son of Robert and Elsie Mary Jordan; nephew of Elizabeth Sampson, of Prittlewell, Essex. Original grave image submitted by Janet James. Her father was a Captain with the R.A.M.C. at the time and said that a lone German plane strafed their encampment and these two men were killed. He, himself, had left his tent when he heard the aircraft overhead and this saved his life as when he returned later he found his paliasse completely shredded with shrapnel.
