Title: Help with names on RAF postcard. Clarke.
Post by: martin hooper on Friday 27 September 24 10:42 BST (UK)
Hello

This is another name from my 1938 RAF Uxbridge postcard which is proving difficult. The name is clearly Clarke but what are the initials? G as the first initial has not come up with a service number in the correct range.

Thanks

Martin

It's hard to see the first initial as anything other than G, though it might just be Y. My best guess for the second is T, but I'm not sure about it. Uncrossed A? Did people ever not cross an A?

George Allen Clark - he signed with an e at the end, but the RAF have recorded him without.

Thanks for your help.
