264504 AirArt4. Derick Gibson Belcher Royal Navy HMS Vulture from:Chippenham, Wiltshire (d.12th Oct 1947) I came across the entry for Derick Belcher whilst researching casualties from Wiltshire for the Wiltshire OPC Project. For a while I could not understand why a young lad from Wiltshire serving in the Navy would be buried in Cornwall 2 years after hostilities ended. It was only when I understood that HMS Vulture was in fact a Royal Naval Air Station that it made sense. It would be lovely to know if the serviceman's family were given the opportunity to have their son buried nearer to home and that the parents decided to have him buried in a pretty village churchyard rather than a large municipal town cemetery. The serviceman was aged 23 and has a CWGC headstone. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
