Dolphin Posted 7 December , 2005 Share Posted 7 December , 2005 (edited) Steve 2Lt P F West, a pilot, died of fever in India on 24 March 1918, and is buried at Deolali. His unit isn't listed in Airmen Died. Two RFC squadrons were based in India: Nos 31 and 114 Sqns were both equipped with BE 2c and BE 2e aircraft. No 31 Sqn was centred at Risalpur, with detachments at Bannu, Tank, Khanpur, Dera Ismail Khan, Dera Ghazi Khan and Lahore, while No 114 Sqn was centred on Lahore with detachments at Quetta and Aden. I hope this helps you. Gareth Edited 7 December , 2005 by Dolphin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
