Uncle George Posted 27 January , 2015 Share Posted 27 January , 2015 Conchie, eh? EDIT: I`ve found one called Albert Green? A conchie yes, but not Albert Green and not just a conchie. My man was arrested under DORA, found gulity of sedition and imprisoned. The colour sub-theme does not relate to his name, but to his views and activities.

Wigwhammer Posted 27 January , 2015 Share Posted 27 January , 2015 Colin you are very close. My man was later an MP and the subject of a biography by Gordon Brown. Then it can only be James Maxton, Glaswegian socialist, MP for Glasgow Bridgeton 1922-1946, a leader of "Red Clydeside" Cheers Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle George Posted 27 January , 2015 Share Posted 27 January , 2015 Going with the flow, who is this???lk.jpg DSO, DSC & Bar, DFC, as well as the Croix de Guerre and the Belgian Order of the Crown.

neverforget Posted 29 January , 2015 Share Posted 29 January , 2015 Another "coloured" Ace for you to play whilst we try and fathom your intriguingly unclear fellow.

It is vanishingly rare for me to actually recognise someone first time on this thread but he definitely has a look of Grey. Sorry about posting over your last flyboy; is is Matthew Frew? Pete.

Fattyowls Posted 29 January , 2015 Share Posted 29 January , 2015 NF from David by a short head. I didn't think that he would last too long. Frank Luke Jr. the balloon buster, buried in the massive Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery at Romagnes just north west of Verdun. Luke is one of 14,246 burials; the scale of the place is staggering.
