Comments by Lloyd Webber:

Cpl KR "Ken" Wiskin was a Telephone Tech stationed at 1 (F) Wing, Marville France. He was killed in an automobile accident and buried at Choly. I was a bearer at the funeral.

Ken lived in Belgium with his wife and daughter. Sometime during the night he drove a buddy from Belgium to the hotel on the base at 1 Wing. The hotel was for families waiting for the flight to Trenton. On the way back home, he left the road and was killed in Belgium.
