Kirkebogen for Lemvig, Skodborg herred, Ringkøbing Amt den 9. februar 1943 om en mand:
"Sandsynligvis J. W. Millar. Druknedød."

I mange år var der her en gravsten for
Flying Officer (Pilot) John Whitla Millar, 28, var søn af William A. og Catherine G. Millar,
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. B.Sc. (University of Alberta). I 2018 erstattet af denne gravsten!
Hans navn er på Addenda panel 291 på Runnymede Memorial. (Kilde: CWGC)
Bemærk, at det siges ikke mere, at han er begravet på Lemvig Kirkegård!

Denne pilot forsvandt nær Lorient i Bretagne ud for Frankrig den 8. februar 1943.
Intet om hvornår og hvor han blev fundet. Intet lig kan drive så langt på nogle få timer.
Umuligt at det kunne være liget af Flying Officer (Pilot) John Whitla Millar.
Nu har han INGEN KENDT GRAV i registret hos CWGC.

The church register of Lemvig on 9 February 1943 about a buried man:
"Probably J.W. Millar. Death by drowning."

For many years this grave had a headstone to
Flying Officer (Pilot) John Whitla Millar, 28, was the son of William A. and Catherine G. Millar,
of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. B.Sc. (University of Alberta). In 2018 replaced by this headstone.
He is commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial, Addenda panel 291. (Source: CWGC)
Notice that it does not say any more that he is buried in Lemvig Cemetery!

This pilot disappeared near Lorient in France on 8 FEB 1943. Nothing about
when and where he was found. No body can drift so far in a few hours.
Impossible that the body could be that of Flying Officer (Pilot) John Whitla Millar.
Now he has NO KNOWN GRAVE according to the CWGC.
