Both fellows have identified graves, so they both were ID'd and given a burial sometime during or after the war.
The ones missing (RAF) are mentioned on the Memorial in Runnymede. Those in the Navy have several but I think Chatham is the biggest. The Americans have their missing on the Walls at the Cemeteries all over the world. If one is found and reburied his name gets a rosette in front of it. Many at Margraten have been found and reburied.
It is amazing how many families still don't know what happened to their loved ones or even know where they are buried. MIA's are still being found and ID'd every year and given burials in Holland. They finally get their final resting place and a stone with there name.
Many families are still struggling with this and trying to come to terms. I witnessed this in person a few weeks ago.
