RAF Pilot - F Wroth

[Rory Reynolds]

Hi all

I'm trying to find out more about a 2nd Lieutenant Francis Wroth, RAF. I have very little to go on other than that he was born in about 1900. I can't even find his Gazette entry when he was commissioned so any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Rory

I'm resurrecting this request as no reply, thusfar, has been received.

Is their any Pal out there who can shed some light on this chap please? I am at my wits end with trying to "interpret" the Gazette.

Regards

It is indeed him - thanks very much - now to track down his commission in the London Gazette. This is the area where I find myself "challenged"!

I have his British War Medal and it is impressed to 2/Lieut. F. Wroth R.A.F. - There is thus no doubt in my mind that he was commissioned but, again, the entry in the LG eludes me.
