The grave of Flying Officer Jacob Maurice Grant at the War Cemetery in NW . What caught my attention was the star of David (there is an anti-semitic trope that Jews foment the wars that Christians have to fight), and his (a high award for gallantry).

At the time of his death, F/O Grant was flying with 617 Sqdn ("The "). He and his comrades were killed during Operation Garlic, a failed attempt to breach the strategic Dortmund-Ems Canal.
