Cambridge Cemetery records reveal SERE KLASS and HENDRIKS KLASS as brothers in plot ??? and plot 547.
Upon trying to find the graves for KLASS we found none for that surname. What we found is as per each photo a grave for K SERE N 51178V, dated 8 August 1943 and a grave for K HENDRICKS N 35907, dated 31 July 1943.
Now this brings the following deduction to mind – that the first name was used as the family name and the surnames of KLASS (indicated on the grave stone as a K) as the first name, on both graves.
