I am trying to research for one of my work mates at works father; now the first name is either Morris or Maurice, Baker who served in the AFC towards the end of WW1 and then emigrated to Austrlia serving for short while in the RAAF as commisioned officer, he discharged at his own request and then went back to the UK and rejoined the RAF, believed to be involved in the Dam Busters operation, can anyone help with the research...

Theres a record for a Maurice Baker at the National Archives - http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=8631004&queryType=1&resultcount=1 - but will cost £3.50 to download it.

If the date of 28 Aug 1898 is his DOB, then there is a Maurice registered in Croydon (Surrey) in the 3rd qt of 1898 (vol 2A / # 309)

In the 1911 census it shows him living at 56 Bateman Road Chingford, Essex.

Parents are Edward George and Edith Mary - married for 13 years

2 brothers, Leslie and Edward George

2 sisters, Murial Edith and Madge Ena
