LBG Posted 8 May , 2023 Share Posted 8 May , 2023 Hello I have recently joined this forum hoping that someone may be able to help me in tracing my grandfather? His name was Lionel Frederick Gerry and his service number was 220448 unfortunately I am unable to trace him. I have in my possession a photo taken 22nd April 1917 of several cadets taken from Cranwell, Hut 8 so I believe he completed his training there and is on this photo. If anyone could help me in any way it would be very much appreciated. Regards Lionel Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have attached Lionel's Royal Navy and front page of his Royal Air Force record which I hope will be of some use. Gunner 87.

LBG Posted 8 May , 2023 Author Share Posted 8 May , 2023 Thank you for your response, I really appreciate the records you have posted. I never knew much about my grandfather as he died aged 26 and my father himself did not know much about his own father sadly. It is only recently since I have been researching my ancestry that I came across the photo of my grandfather that I became more curious and interested. Thank you for your support, it is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
