Details:

24 April 1955 - LAC DWT Keymer

Comments from Don Norrie:

LAC Keymer was employed with 430 Squadron at 2 (F) Wing when he was killed in an autombile accident at the "Y" junction where the road went left to Grostenquin (proceeding out of the base) and right - or straight on - to Hemering. As long as the guys that knew Keymer remained in Grostenquin, they referred to that junction as "Keymers Korner"
