Thanks Phillip

I've just read the documents are not online (as you said, not available to the public) Can they be requested and if so, what is the criteria please. Opps just realised, the documents can't be requested.
I will pass your advice on

They can not be requested, they only use them when someone  brings up a case so they can check if any details can be checked, and even then they not always use them correctly, have brought forward many cases throughout the years, some are still under investigation, most are turned down, had 3 cases with postive outcome.

Yes, I just modified my post realising they can't be requested. Three positive cases are an achievement. I know Martijn has gone to great lengths to find proof etc regarding this airmen. It's not easy.
Not the same but I did research a young man in NZ who went to war under his brothers name and CWGC confirmed my findings but it was a lot of work but easier than trying to prove an unknown identity.

Good on you for researching and attempting to identify casualties, it is not easy but extremely meaningful. Thanks for your help
