Additional info

On 17 October 1945 WO A.C. Isaak-Derk was killed as a result of a vehicle accident. He accepted a lift from Wing Commander Matthews of 85 Group Royal Air Force who was driving the vehicle (R.A.F. Hillman 164041). While Wing Commander Matthews was overtaking at a point of the road near Brussels, he collided with an on-coming vehicle. Regimental Sergeant Major Isaak-Derk was seriously injured and died a few hours after being admitted to hospital.

Fallen buddies: The list of names from these soldiers are those that were temporary buried (military grave) on the same location before they eventually were reburied at the Adegem War Cemetery in Belgium.

There might be an age difference between the profile and headstone. The age on the profile comes from the soldier's service records. It's well known that some lied about their age.

Military grave coordinations are not always spot on, but pretty accurate to the map references in the soldier's service records.
