rksimpson Posted 19 July , 2014 Share Posted 19 July , 2014 HI You have to remember the medal cards were written after the war for the pairs, so RAF would have the term used then. The other thing to remember is that people are writing these, errors to occur! But it would mean Royal Air Force, I am not aware of any army unit with that designation. regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
