Hi, I would really appreciate any information on the above Philip Holmes. His father was W Holmes MRCS but I don't know what the W stands for or what his moter's name was. I found a snippet on line with details of what schools he went to and that he was a Corporal in the RAF 1941-45 possibly in India or Burma. I would like to know if he married or had any children or if he had any siblings that may have had children. Many thanks. :-) |

His RAF service record would only be available to his direct descendants. |
