petet Posted 4 November , 2018 Share Posted 4 November , 2018 (edited) Does anyone know: which Capt Bell Irving was serving with No. 35 Squadron at Thetford in 1916 (and where he was posted to [and when] )? the forenames of Lt Gordon (serving with the squadron at the same time) the forenames of Lt Rogers (serving with the squadron at the same time) the forenames of Lt Tylee (serving with the squadron at the same time) the forenames of Lt Chabot (serving with the squadron at the same time) the forenames of Lt Newman (serving with the squadron at the same time) I am also interested in any details about CJ Davidson and RJ Hounsey who were listed in the Record Books as being on strength of the squadron when it was formed Regards Pete Edited 4 November , 2018 by petet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierssc Posted 4 November , 2018 Share Posted 4 November , 2018 (edited) Airhistory.org.uk is the place to look. Start at http://airhistory.org.uk/rfc/people_index.html You asked: which Capt Bell Irving was serving with No. 35 Squadron at Thetford in 1916 (and where he was posted to [and when] )? Malcolm McBean BELL-IRVING with 35 Squadron Thetford 22.3.16 but wounded in France serving with 1 Sq on 16.4.16 having embarked for France on 10.4.16 see https://www.casualtyforms.org/form/12259 the forenames of Lt Gordon (serving with the squadron at the same time) Vancouver Camden GORDON (wow!) the forenames of Lt Rogers (serving with the squadron at the same time) Clarence Elias ROGERS the forenames of Lt Tylee (serving with the squadron at the same time) Arthur Kellam TYLEE the forenames of Lt Chabot (serving with the squadron at the same time) Charles James CHABOT the forenames of Lt Newman (serving with the squadron at the same time) Robert NEWMAN Tip: Find the appropriate spreadsheet, find the first person with the appropriate surname (manually or using Control-F), then search using Control-F for "35Sq". I am also interested in any details about CJ Davidson and RJ Hounsey Having done so well up to now I'm afraid I can't find these last two in either airhistory or casualtyforms!

petet Posted 6 November , 2018 Author Share Posted 6 November , 2018 Thanks for the feedback; much appreciated. I am also struggling to find information on CJ Davidson and RJ Hounsey ... they are mentioned in the routine orders as being on strength of the squadron when it formed .... but that is the only piece of information that I have available.
