Found some more information about him:
10th Royal Fusiliers 23258 Pte. East Surrey Regt 25029 Lance Cpl. RAF Lt
Source should be
WO 372/9/60610
How he became a pilot on RAF after beeing an infantry soldier?
The gazzette helped me on finding it: Journal from 1st january 1919.
https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/31098/supplement/96
His full name is George Henry Alexander Hart.
Is it possible to find his squadron, type of airplane and any other information?
Thanks again.
Hello gentlemen
I am researching about veterans from WW1 that went to Brazil after the war and I would appreciate more information about this D.F.C. recipient, that supposed to live in Brazil untill his death.
2nd Lt G.H.A. Hart. His certificate has a dispatch signed by Generall Sir George Francis Milne in 1st november 1918 and the war office date is 17 (?) march 1919.
Thanks in advance for all information provided.

Here is a poor copy of his certificate.
This is a diploma of the Order of the Fole. It`s not a BAF item, but is WW2 Air Force related. This Order was a kind of war bonus, in which people raised funds that were passed to RAF to buy Spitfires during the war.
As a promissed, I will start to put my BAF stuffs here.
First of all, a flying helmet ww2 period from Brazilian Air Force. It is US made, but there is a little word on both headphones (FAB in white). Brazilian pilots flew P47 in Italy, and P36, P40 and Catalinas in Brazil.
