RFC Medal

Recommended Posts

I have a BWM to 5395 Sgt. F. N. Nears R.F.C. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way to research him. I would particuarly like to know which squadron he belonged to.

Thanks,

Jonathan

1. Look for his medal index card.

2. If he transferred to the RAF his service record is available in AIR 79, otherwise you will need to look in WO 363 & 364. Squadron details will be contained in both.

Another little used document yielding some interesting info is the RAF Muster Roll, which is under AIR 1/819/204/4/1316.
