Brigantian Posted 20 October , 2006 Share Posted 20 October , 2006 Duncan Can you help with two Sheffield men I have an interest in? They were both in the Anti-Aircraft Corp: AA/1888 AB George Green AA/1947 AB Raymond Hibberson I understand Hibberson enlisted at Sheffield on 24 May 1915. From his service number, I suspect Green enlisted on the same date or shortly before. Green and Hibberson died in separate Sheffield hospitals from malarial fever on 20 and 21 October 1917 respectively. They probably contracted the disease whilst serving on the Thames Defences - I shall be raising a glass in their memory over the weekend. If you can fill any gaps on their service I would be most grateful. In particular any information on exactly where they might have been serving before their deaths would be very useful. Also, the names of any other Sheffield men who joined Anti-Aircraft Corp around the same time would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 25 October , 2006 Share Posted 25 October , 2006 Hi Cnock, I've nothing on your man as I havn't got that far down the alphabet, however I hope to have something for you by next Wednesday evening Regards Duncan Hi Cnock, Williams,Cyril Basil Caudley, Born 1st October 1892 Appointed Prob Flight Sub Lieut on 2nd May 1915 In HMS Fisgard 2nd May 1915 to 28th May 1915 At Eastchurc 29th May 1915 to ? At Cranwell ? At Chingford 9th June 1917 Appointment terminated 16th February 1918 Sorry that's all I can turn up. The gap between 1915 to 1917 suggests illness or accidental injury followed by a further unsuccessful attempt to become a pilot, but that is only supposition.

clare bridger Posted 24 November , 2006 Share Posted 24 November , 2006 Hi Duncan Do you have anything on Henry William BRIDGER, born 1886? I think he was a Petty Officer in the RNAS and he was a cabinet maker by trade. Thanks Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 25 November , 2006 Share Posted 25 November , 2006 Hi Duncan Do you have anything on Henry William BRIDGER, born 1886? I think he was a Petty Officer in the RNAS and he was a cabinet maker by trade. Thanks Clare Bridger,Henry William, Off No F6701 Enlisted 21Jul1915 Born Liss, Petersfield, Hants 7th February 1886 His enlistment papers are at the Fleet Air Arm Museum which indicates that he was not transferred to the RAF and it probably suggests that he had left the RNAS prior to 1st April 1918. The only info on his enlistment papers not stated above would be physical details. His records can be downloaded from ADM188 for naval service, although these are usually fairly sparse. Sorry that's all I have. I would appreciate any info you find to add to my data base. Regards Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
