George Lemar was my uncle, my father Alfred Le Mar's favourite elder brother. I have been researching family history and have looked for my Uncle George for many years. I knew he was killed in a place crash in WW2. I am retired and live in France but plan to visit the grave when I am in the U.K. In September this year. Thank you.
