This is Keith Cameron Wathen, who was an Australian Pilot Officer who was killed flying with 415 (Swordfish) Squadron RCAF. He was killed making an attack on German shipping off the Dutch coast around the same moment the Dambuster Lancasters were heading off on their famous raid. I was named after him.

This pic of his grave was sent to his dad by the Department of Air in 1949. He is buried in the War cemetary at Kiel in Germany.

More on him here.

PS Don't know what's happening with the image linking It's formated correctly.
