ian turner Posted 12 May , 2006 Share Posted 12 May , 2006 Edwin Tempting to think this might be your man - taken from the National Archives medal index cards: Medal card of Collins, W V Corps Regiment No Rank 2nd Wiltshire Regiment 7545 Private Royal Flying Corps 114635 Air Mechanic 3rd Class Not necessarily a certainty.

per ardua per mare per terram Posted 12 May , 2006 Share Posted 12 May , 2006 The records of service for this man will probably be in AIR 79; if he and none of the other matches on the MICs are your man then its a long slog through AIR 78 for airmen and the Army List & WO Officer's files (for his RFC time) and AIR 76 if he rose to be an officer.
