NSRG Posted 25 January , 2015 Author Share Posted 25 January , 2015 Hi Coldstreamer and Mick LeedsThanks to you both for the info - I got his service record from Find my past as you suggested (I think the voucher ref you had is out of date / not applicable to me, but no worries, it was a good suggestion).His service record showed details of when he was promoted to sergeant and that he was a "Mech" sergeant, which would fit with him having been a carpenter before joining up, but raised a couple more questions relating to how he died - I've attached his service record and my questions are:- in the section "Discharge" it says died 28.10.18 and what appears to be "B.O.91" or "B.O.JI" - does anyone have any ideas about this acronym?- on the bottom right there is a rubber stamp imprint saying "Casualty card destroyed: no entry" with "no entry" crossed out and 14 7/20 written in - does anyone have any idea about the casualty card and what the writing refers to (is it a date?)Also, I am still on the look-out for any info about his RAF unit, 6th Squadron during 1918 - any info or ideas on this would be appreciated.Many thanks!

MickLeeds Posted 26 January , 2015 Share Posted 26 January , 2015 Hello. Have you seen this site, full of wartime photo's of 6 Squadron ? http://www.stevebusterjohnson.com/#!6-sqn-photos/cazx Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSRG Posted 26 January , 2015 Author Share Posted 26 January , 2015 Hi Mick! Thanks very much for the link - I hadn't seen this - lots more info here about 6 Squadron - Sergeant Miller not specifically named, but around half the people in the photos aren't named, so he could be there. Your help much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSRG Posted 11 July , 2015 Author Share Posted 11 July , 2015 I'm still trying to get more info on Sgt Robert Henry Miller from RAF 6 squadron; as he died on 28.10.18, does anyone know if 6 Squadron at Abeele Aerodrome sustained and attack sometime in September / early October 1918? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
