Where's Drago? Posted 24 March , 2018 Share Posted 24 March , 2018 Hi all, I'm looking for information on Roy William Frederick Angus of the RFC for a memorial project. Almost everything I've got on him is his CWGC entry and some census information. He was killed in action on 13 August 1918, while part of the 148th Squadron. I have some information on him performing in a school concert, and other than his RAF casualty report, this is the sum total I have on him. If anybody knows anything else of his military career, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie962 Posted 24 March , 2018 Share Posted 24 March , 2018 (edited) A quick check of the above shows that the last 3 are not relevant. The others are all for your man. The 1915 Service Record is him in the Welsh Horse, before being commissioned into the RFC. Previously worked for Min Labour, London 1910-1915.
