51 Squadron.com about him:
A German letter of 13 December 1944 emphasizes that people on Fanø did
absolutely not approve burials on the beach.
A letter from the Air Ministry of 20 March 1946 states that Tunstall was
buried on
the beach.
His Identification Disc, see photo was recovered
by the Germans and
it was enclosed in the letter. (It still has a taste of
salt from the sea!)
A final letter from the Air Ministry of 12 June 1947 states that it has been
impossible
to find E. T. Tunstall.
