More details

Mannock was the highest decorated fighter Ace of WWI with a VC, DSO 2 Bars, MC and Bar.

The body of another airman was found in the area behind German lines with no records provided of the Airman name. It is commonly believed that this Airman, buried and cited as "A British Airman Of The First World War" in Lavenite Cemetery is, in fact, Edward "Mick" Mannock
