John Christopher Cox

John Christopher Cox was a Flight Lieutenant, service number 84989. CWGC records his death on 5 March 1943, aged 25, and his burial at Bulawayo (Athlone) Cemetery, grave 70. The London Gazette records his Distinguished Flying Medal on 25 July 1941, and the RAFCommands award search links the same award trail to service number 84989.

A general web search found Gazette material for Cox but did not produce a separate detailed loss page that could be tied to him as securely as the CWGC and award records. The Gazette notice places him in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve and records the DFM, while a later Gazette notice records him with the DFC style in an officer-list context. Aircrew Remembered provides an exact casualty-row match by name, service number, rank and date of death. No squadron, aircraft, crew or cause of death is asserted here because the checked live sources did not provide those details with enough corroboration for this draft.
