over 55 thousands deaths, average age 22. Makes you think

It does em10. My Uncle joined the RAF in August '40 and after 8 months training he was killed at the age of 19 on his 10th mission. He'd only been operational 6 weeks. As with so many, his body was never found, so his name is on the RAF Memorial at Runnymede. I wonder if I can apply for a medal in his name?
