20 Squadron - Percy Griffith Jones

[cpnorfolk]

I have recently come across two old requests, 2007 & 2010, for information about Sergeant Mechanic Percy Griffith Jones of 20 Squadron. The threads were not being answered by their originators, so I thought it better to start a new topic:

Percy Jones was Observer/Gunner for my grandfather, T.C.Traill, in 20 Squadron for six weeks in 1918 until his death. I have been typing up and adding extracts from my grandfather's typewritten memoirs [a copy is held at the IWM] and slowly adding them to my Wordpress site. There are five posts which deal with Percy Jones. In chronological order these are:
