I've been reading an old letter from Peshawar (India now Pakistan) in April 1930 from Owen West of 1st Armoured Car Company. It appears they were on...
LOL... well done Kyt. There's something odd with that name, spelt wrong on the roll of honour (Marsh-Daborn), and never used in the school records...
Sgt. Frederick Albert M. Daborn, Royal Artillery, died 15 July 1945, Brussels following swimming accident in Germany. Aged 30.
Thanks Kyt, He's not on the CWGC database but I have his full obit from the newspaper. I'll send it to CWGC.

Hi Annie, do you have a link to that report and photo? The plane s/n's are both the same. Z1956.
No it was boys only... at least as far as I can remember. :mosking:
Thanks Annie, I was sure the HAM Baker was a mix up... I'll follow that one up to confirm it, fingers x-ed. Ottershaw is about 2 miles away.
I have a friend doing just that now. We are up to 1942.
Me neither but it won't be the first mistake on that roll of honour.
