kingsnorth36 Posted 17 March , 2005 Share Posted 17 March , 2005 I have recently acquired the Great War Medal of Captain Charley Gordon Eccles Royal Flying Corps late Royal West Kents K.I.A 25-5-1917. I wondered if his death had been attributed to any specific pilot ? Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted 17 March , 2005 Share Posted 17 March , 2005 Capt Charley Gordon Eccles, aged 29 and from Darwen, Lancashire, was flying FE 8 A4881 of No 41 Sqn RFC on an Offensive Patrol when he was shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 25 May 1917. He is buried in Messines Ridge Cemetery, Belgium. A photograph of an FE 8, in this case 6390, is below. I hope this helps. Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
