ARLINGTON, VA - FEBRUARY 22: Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull (R) and his wife Lucy Turnbull observe a moment of silence after laying a wreath the grave of Royal Australian Air Force Pilot Francis D. Milne at Arlington National Cemetery February 22, 2018 in Arlington, Virginia. Milne went missing in action on November 26, 1942 while serving with a U.S. aircrew during World War II. Because his remains could not be distingushed from those of Army Air Corps Technical Sergeant Joseph E. Paul, they are buried together.
