Thread: Help Needed to find a Pilot

John

You've probably already got this info but this is from a basic search (all I'm capable of!) on AWM:

Mention in Despatches
Service Number 403837
Service RAAF
Rank Flight Lieutenant
Unit RAAF
Conflict Second World War
Date of London Gazette 1 January 1945, page 99, position 51
Date of Commonwealth of Australia Gazette 4 January 1945, page 4, position 73

If you bung in his name here - Australian War Memorial - Research a person - you can find a pdf of the notification as well.

I haven't had any luck on the LG.

Hi Andy

Had a brain snap and never thought to look in AWM file. Never knew about the MID. Do you know how I can find out about what he did to get the MID ?

His initials have entered wrong

Well done, K.

Couldn't begin to tell you, John. A record of his postings would be the perfect start of course!

It is worth applying for a quote for the record as, if it is less than 10 pages, the NAA have been known to send a copy for free.

Thanks for your help Andy. I am trying to get out of spending money on NAA records.

Thanks for your help with the two entries you made. I wll try NAA but I don't fancy my chances.

As Kyt says, John, it's worth a try! At least he hasn't recommended a book to you. That gets expensive!
