James Chamberlin Profile

Recommended Posts

Is it possible you could supply me additional information (background, where he came from) concerning a James Chamberlin?

James was Canadian and served with the Royal Flying Corp during the First World War? He was reported to be killed/missing in action on June 2 1916.

Many Thanks

James.

I can't see a Canadian Attestation paper for him, so he may have enlisted in the UK.

Lt J R Chamberlain was killed in an accident when flying BE 2b 2180 on 2 June 1916.

I hope that this helps.
