museumtom Posted 17 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 17 June , 2019 And we were going so well, so very very well until Terry pointed out his date of death. The limit is 31/08/1921. Silly of me lads and lassies, I apologise and will keep an eye on it in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 17 June , 2019 Author Share Posted 17 June , 2019 Great stuff Mark and George!!

One says A/451996 died after discharge. Claimant mother N. Fitzgibbon. Shows correct DoD https://www.fold3.com/image/1/645810393 The other has Bob's number with RAF crossed out and RASC stated.

It is noted on reverse of card that the award should be cancelled at the end of the quarter in which the man died. The note is dated 13/10/21. He was discharged for "mental deficiency".
