Hi im looking for information regarding my GT uncle Thomas Charles Woodhouse, who was in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
Squadron 61
Service No ; 1307063
Wireless Operator/Air Gunner

Thomas died during active service when his plane was shot down, he died just aged 23 years during WW2 on the 17th September 1942.

He was originally from Hereford, and had 2 other brothers. His mother was a Emily Woodhouse nee Wood, and his father Thomas Woodhouse.

I believe Thomas Charles was buried in REICHSWALD FOREST WAR CEMETERY.

Any information WHATSOEVER would be helpful.

If Thomas was buried in Germany how would i obtain a copy of the death certficiate?
Also how could i find out any further info on his activities in the RAF, including the mission that lead to his sad loss of life?

Thanks
