My name is Stephane Lombaerts and I’m living in Belgium.
I adopted the grave of a soldier died in WW 2.
His name is Sergeant Ernest Halestrap, died on 29.8.1941
His Unit : RAF volunteer reserve.
He is lying on Noordelijke begraafplaats Vlissingen ( The Netherlands)
I’m looking for information about him ( information, documents …)
