William Fletcher

William Fletcher was a Squadron Leader, service number 44063. CWGC records his death on 14 February 1943, aged 29, and his burial at Jonkerbos War Cemetery. The London Gazette and RAFCommands award records identify his DFC.

The Nottinghamshire County Council Roll of Honour provides the main general-search biography. It identifies Fletcher with No. 158 Squadron RAF and gives his place of birth as Cork, Ireland. It records his family as son of William and Nora Fletcher, brother of Christopher, Leonard and Eileen Fletcher of Noel Street, Hyson Green, Nottingham, and husband of Edna Blanche Fletcher of Nottingham. The page also links photographs of Fletcher and his wife and his headstone. No aircraft or loss circumstance is added here because the searched material did not produce a detailed loss page tied to service number 44063. These records tie the same name to the same service number, award trail and casualty date, reducing the risk of confusing him with another airman of similar name.
