josquin Posted 9 February , 2018 Share Posted 9 February , 2018 Captain J. Sowery served with 6/Royal West Surrey Regiment and was attached to the Royal Flying Corps with the rank of Captain (later T/Major). I am requesting any biographical details that are available. Any information will be appreciated greatly--forename(s), Great War service, and prewar and postwar life. Best regards, Josquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 9 February , 2018 Share Posted 9 February , 2018 (edited) Josquin To get started, here is an extract from that wonderful site airhistory.org Despite the two different spellings I think they are all for the same man.

josquin Posted 9 February , 2018 Author Share Posted 9 February , 2018 Charlie, Many thanks for the comprehensive information and the excellent source. I agree that the listings are for the same man despite the variant spellings. Best regards, Josquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josquin Posted 11 February , 2018 Author Share Posted 11 February , 2018 Sotonmate, Thank you for the reference for Captain Sowery's service record. The variant surname spelling was a complication, as more seems to be recorded under the incorrect spelling. The clarification is appreciated.
