Iggy Posted 7 July , 2004 Share Posted 7 July , 2004 I was hoping to get some assistance in gathering information on a RFC veteran, by the name of Cecil Batten. I believe he was a fighter pilot in WW1. If anyone has any information it would be appreciated as I have no other information on Cecil.

Iggy Posted 7 July , 2004 Author Share Posted 7 July , 2004 Thanks HarryBettsMCDCM, As a young boy this fellow lived across the road from me. Unfortunately he passed away before I was old enough to fully appreciate his WW1 service. So now I'm trying to do some catching up. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
