chrisharley9 Posted 19 January , 2007 Author Share Posted 19 January , 2007 Thanks everyone for the comments/info - I wonder what the Canadian link is? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeppoSapone Posted 19 January , 2007 Share Posted 19 January , 2007 Thanks everyone for the comments/info - I wonder what the Canadian link is? Chris I stand to be corrected on this, because I know sweet fa about the RAF in WW1. However, I think I read that there was no RCAF then. Canadians were members of the RAF, but wore "Canada" titles. So, could this be a Londoner who had emigrated to Canada and joined up? The problem is that he is not on that database. However, it is quite likely that they have his name spelled wrongly. Why else would he be on the Canadian roll of honour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
