Lt J E Smith 60th Squadron

[Guest geoff501]

Any info on Lt Joseph Edward Smith 60th Squadron ?

I have the CWGC details and have looked in Communique for 1917-18 but nothing there.

cheers,

Lt J E Smith, from Stretton, Cheshire, was flying SE 5a C9297 of No 60 Sqn RAF on an Offensive Patrol when he was killed during combat with a Fokker D.VII over Marquion. No accredited claim from a German fighter pilot seems to match his loss.

On 31 August 1918 Lt Smith was flying E4001 when his aircraft was damaged in combat over Bapaume.

I hope this helps
