censlenov Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 You can apply for his service record as he's been dead for more than 25 years the cost is 30GBP. Visit the British Medal Forum and search "freedom of information requests". There is a large topic covering the application details. I just applied for an Army officers records and received a letter on Monday confirming they had them and that they would dispatch them within 3-4 weeks. It was a very slick operation.

JBFloyd Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 He doesn't appear in Bomber or Fighter Command losses on that date, so possibly a non-operational loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
