The historian Gavin Wilson visited our village, Echemines (France, 10) last september to see where E. J. Kain lived and died on June, 7th 1940, by doing aerobatics.
Then, the mayor of Echemines decided to honour Kain as the other soldiers died during WWI and WWII.

Fantastic to see, thanks Jerome for that info and the photo link. Another place to visit for the many kiwis who make a pilgrimage to France each year, make sure that you guys get it advertised on the war tour routes. Most kiwis have heard of Cobber kain and remain proud of him even today.

Ah - very nice - here's a photo of his grave at Choloy - which I assume is close by...went there a few years back - about 30 Kiwis buried there....
