Yes this is my uncle, I think he was 21 when he died my sister as a photo of the cemetery he is in. Thank you

He was born in 1919, so was 22 when he died:

Births Jun 1919
Salter Joseph W (mmn Thompson) Basford 7b 352

Just looking at the dates...

Joseph died 2 days before Herbert was captured, so your father probably never knew for some time, that his brother had died :-(
