My uncle, Lt. Richard Peters is in the second row up, second from right. He was killed in Burma on the night of 8/9 February 1945, leading an operation which played an important part in establishing a bridgehead at Pagan. My Mum recalls that Richard was leading a reconnaissance patrol of 3 men and the others all got away after he was shot. They went back 10 days later & recovered his body & buried it. Later it was removed and reburied in the military cemetery. She recalls the village was near Pakoku
