nieuport11 Posted 14 April , 2020 Share Posted 14 April , 2020 His military record is here: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D8235846 He served with 28 Sq then 59Sq in 1916 before suffering an accident at Gosport The reference to 59Sq therefore refers to 59 Training Squadron This curtailed his flying career and he went for trial as an equipment officer, classified as non-effective due to his injury he continued in Stores Depots He had a spell in hospital and underwent numerous Medical Boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
