	Might also be worth looking for references to him in the London Gazette Archives which are searchable online at: http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/archiveSearch.asp?WebType=0&Referer=full (remove ) Christine

	I'd have thought that it would be worth looking on Docs Online - the Royal Flying Corps started out as part of the army. Just double checked - this from the RAF's website - the Timeline: 1 Apr 1918- The Royal Air Force and Women's Royal Air Force are formed. Christine
