207670 Sgt. Harry Richard Kitchener Royal Air Force 102 Squadron (d.20th Dec 1943) Harry Kitchener was my brother, I was born the day my mother received a telegram to say he was missing, someone in the family has possible found out where he was laid to rest, which is in Rheinberg War Cemetery, but when they came back the name found was Henry Richard Kitchener, I don't know him by this name. I was told by my Mum and Dad his name was Harry. I would like to know if this is the same person, because I told my parents I would like to visit the grave before it's too late.
Editor's Note: CWGC records always list people by their full names, Harry is a familiar name for someone named Henry, and Henry Richard Kitchener is the only RAF man named Kitchener listed as killed in 1943, so it is very likely this is your brother. We would advise checking his birth certificate or the birth records to confirm his full name. If you have the telegram, it should give you his service number which would also confirm it.
