sotonmate Posted 24 October , 2013 Share Posted 24 October , 2013 6 RDF War Diary is digital in the National Archives database and is downloadable for 3.36 . Reference is WO95/4836. You will get some idea of the activity around the date your subject died,though it may not be clear which day he was wounded if there were several such incidents on different dates as names were not always posted, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
