P/O Ward was initially buried in Bayeux as "unknown" having been transferred from the US cemetery in St Laurent in October 1944. In June 1946 confirmation of his identity was sent to the R.A.A.F after exhumation and examination of his remains.
Temporary grave marker in Bayeux subsequent to identification.
