91 squadron RFC and 149 Squadron RAF

[belly164]

I have been researching a local war memorial for the last year and so far it has all been army research  I have now got someone who was in the RFC then the RAF.  Can anyone advise me where to find information about 91 squadron, where they were in 1916-1918, and what they would be involved in and the same for 149 squadron from April 1918 until December 1918 when my chap died from influenza.

 

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Just realise pete-c that Fort Cognelee is close to Namur.  My man is buried at Namur cemetery so thank you for the clarification
