Hereford Horseman Posted 15 February , 2018 Share Posted 15 February , 2018 If anyone can supply further information about Cecil Thomas it would be appreciated. From the attached documents and what I have been told he had quite a war, in the SY as a Terrier before the war, he went out to Egypt where he suffered a broken back in 1917.... was medically discharged, then re-enlisted with the RFC and crash-landed near Deraa (Daraa) in Syria, taken prisoner, escaped and finished the war in one piece!

sotonmate Posted 15 February , 2018 Share Posted 15 February , 2018 (edited) This is likely to be his full service file as an Army officer: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1055060 but needs to be seen at Kew.

HolymoleyRE Posted 16 February , 2018 Share Posted 16 February , 2018 (edited) I think Cecil was Cecil George Henry Thomas...looking at the initials on the statement. Casualty Card. http://www.rafmuseumstoryvault.org.uk/pages/raf_vault.php?&RAF-titel=Thomas&RAF-initials=C.g.h&van=1 If so his RAF file is on FMP....extract below.
