medals1976 Posted 5 April , 2006 Share Posted 5 April , 2006 Hi, can anyone help me with regards to some RFC Officers I seem to have little luck researching. The first is 2nd Lieutenant W.F.E de Maclaren, he is listed in Sky Their battlefield as wounded on 16/06/17 but I can find little about him after this date. The second is to a 2nd Lieutenant T.B Fraser whom was a Balloon Officer and mentioned in Communique No.97 July 1917 but cannot find anything on him. The third chap is 2nd Lieutenant Robert Simpson Collins. I have copies of his papers and he is listed as KIA but do not know how he died as opinions differ. His service records state a squadron but it is not clear so if anyone knows it would be much appreciated. Lastly I am trying to research F/Sub Lieut W.C Michie R.N.A.S. This Officer is listed on the 1918 RAF list as Major, I have his 1914-15 Star. His RAF Papers state service at Gallipoli on Kite Balloons with HMS Manica. Perhaps anyone knows anything about him. Thank-you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
