chrisharley9 Posted 14 October , 2008 Share Posted 14 October , 2008 Another lost soul by the look of it First of all I would be very grateful if any one could check that he is not listed with CWGC - always like a 2nd opinion There is no GRO naval DC ref - Below is the newspaper cutting showing his death & he is listed in the Times list of dead & missing of 17th Aug 1915 as JWB Grigson AB RNVR London 9/2866 or 9/2366 Or am I missing the obvious and he survived against the odds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apwright Posted 14 October , 2008 Share Posted 14 October , 2008 Thought the name sounded familiar! He must have survived the shipwreck because he was in charge of the RAF in Greece in WW2. See http://www.keepmilitarymuseum.org/grigson_...b=3&rpn=ww1 especially the last 3 paragraphs. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
