2nd Lt W A Hutton 7th London Regt and RFC

[micks]

Hi all

I,m constructing a data base of the officers who

served in the London Regt and transferred to the RFC.

At this moment I,m working through the 7th Battalion and

have come up against a wall.

Second Lieutenant William Wallace Hutton transferred to

the RFC sometime before his death on the 28th of October

1917. Unfortunately I have been unable to locate the

squadron that he was serving with.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The London Gazette shows him promoted to 2Lt on 23.6.16

He was killed in action 28.10.17 while attached to 7A Naval Sqn in Handley Page O/100 serial 3122 with Flt SubLt G Andrews and Ldg Mech G A Kent who were taken POW

Thanks for that Nieuport

Unfortunately he doesn,t appear to be my man.

I very rarely do any research into unknown aircrew due

to the compexity of tracking there movements.

However in Larch Wood (Railway Cutting) Cemetery lies

a S/Lt of the 7th London Regt attached to the RFC.

In Officers Died in the Great War there are recorded

only three men who moved across. Hutton being nearest

match

As always there could be errors.

Anyway I,ll continue the search.

all the best
