I have four RFC officers, please:

Lt Leonard William Brooks KiA 6.7.17

Lt Ralph Robertson killed 11.5.17

Lt Harold Ernest Whiteman killed 23.10.16

Lt Walter Bertram Wood MC* killed 11.11.17

I also have Lt RW Ashworth (but as he died on 26.4.18, I guess you won't have anything on him?).

All the above are 1/8 Hampshire Regt.

I have all their details from the CWGC and I know about the MC and bar (gazette issues) for 'Bertie' Wood. I have TSTB, so I have a little bit on Brooks.

But anything else you have, I'd be VERY interested in; serial numbers of aeroplanes etc. All these men (except Brooks) died in accidents, I believe.

Many thanks

Pete

Harold Whiteman was my grandmother's brother. He was killed on his first solo flight at Netheravon in 1916. Are you still seeking more information about him?

May I take up your kind offer please?

Do you have anything on Second-Lieutenant George Lushington Colomb, DCM, killed when his plane crashed on 22nd November 1916?

Also a long shot as this one survived the war but may have been mentioned in dispatches:

Harold Victor Robbins who joined RFC in 1913.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hello Doug, I have only one possible RFC on my local lists and wondered if there any references to

Jemmeson, George Edwin, 2nd Lieutenant

He died after the war, possibly 1919 in Russia, so by then he would have been RAF ?

This chap has taken some unravelling but I'm slowly getting there.

Many thanks
