WWII Spitfire Pilot Sgt William Smith Laid To Rest

The body of an Australian World War II Spitfire pilot whose remains were found in a French field last year has finally been buried in northern France. Sgt William Smith was buried with full military honours at a service near Cassel attended by his 84-year-old brother Bert and other family members.
