Henry Anselm De Freitas

Henry Anselm de Freitas was a Flight Sergeant, service number 1393818. CWGC records his death on 5 May 1943, aged 26, and his burial at Perth (Jeanfield and Wellshill) Cemetery. The London Gazette records his Air Force Medal on 2 April 1943, and RAFCommands links the award trail to the same name.

A general search found a Made in Perth article about Henry Anselm de Freitas, but its visible snippet includes a different officer-style number in one sentence, so this draft does not use that page for identity-critical facts. The safe facts retained here are the CWGC identity, death and burial details, plus the Gazette AFM notice. Until a page is checked that matches service number 1393818 directly, no unit, aircraft, family detail, or loss circumstance is asserted. The biography therefore stays deliberately conservative for de Freitas, with the web search recorded only through the Gazette PDF and existing award index.
