RFC casualty?

Recommended Posts

Could some kind soul look up a casualty for me on the CWG site? (Its blocked as unsuitable material here from work!) I can’t find him on SDGW CD. That could be me not the CD.

He is: Alfred Samuel CARTER 36339 RFC.

Thanks

Dave

The only additional information in 'Airmen Died' is that AMII A S Carter was a native of Finchley, Middlesex, England.

You won't find RFC on SDGW

John, please don't think I am splitting hairs - but that's not quite right, though I do know what you mean.

You won't find RFC ordinary ranks on the SDGW CD-Rom, unless they have transferred to another regiment, and then you might see 'formerly RFC' in the supplementary notes box.

But you WILL find RFC officers on the CD-Rom - as long as they died before April 1918, when the RFC and RNAS joined together to form the RAF.

Your man was, I believe, born in West Ham district of London in the June quarter of 1895 (which made him around 22 years old when he died).
