About the memorial: Black granite stone of remembrance. He is also commemorated on the Belfast Hebrew Plaque-WMO/291950. Although this gives the appearance of a gravestone he has no known grave (see the referenced CWGC citation). Furthermore he was killed on 1 August 1943. At 0515 he had taken off from RAF Northcotes in a Bristol Beaufighter on a reconnaissance flight. The aircraft was never seen again. The stone of remembrance states, incorrectly, that he was killed over Hamburg in 1942. He had been born in Manchester in 1922 to a Belfast Jewish family and educated at Chorlton High School, Manchester. There is only one other known "gravestone" in Northern Ireland bearing Binyon's epitaph (in Carnmoney Civil Cemetery). His mother gave money in his memory (along with other donations from individuals and businesses) to the RAF Memorial Air Club. In 1945 they purchased 13 Clifton Street, Belfast to be a Rest Centre for RAF Personnel. This property was within a few hundred yards of the Annesley Street Synagogue. She also gave £100 (over £4,000 in 2022 equivalence) to the YMCA Table Tennis Club, and in 1949 the Albert Goldstone Memorial Cup in Table Tennis was inaugurated (the whereabouts of which are now unknown, not really enough to warrant raising a separate report).
