World War One / RAF Seaplane Wader. Felixstowe Seaplane Experimental Station. 1918..
« on: Monday 06 May 19 09:30 BST (UK) »
Hi. Does anyone know the duties carried out by an RAF Seaplane Wader during the formation of the Royal Airforce at the Felixstowe Seaplane Experimental Station in April 1918. My wife's grandfather Arnold Jones served as a Seaplane Wader from the 29th May 1918 until it was disbanded in 1919.

Hello jim1. You and MaxD are great responders. Thanks a million. I never thought of looking for a silver war medal as it was not on his medal record. You teach me a lot between you.

Hello MaxD. Thank you once again for your help. I only belong to Ancestry.co.uk and I cannot find mention of the silver war badge or the date he enlisted. Are they on find my past?

Yes. I have looked at the regulations list. Just hoping someone has come across it before.

Hi. Can anyone tell me the reason for my great uncles discharge from the 23rd Battalion Royal Fusiliers in January 1918 after having served with them since they were first posted to France in November 1915. Dis 392 is all that is written on the card, no code to say under which section of the Kings Regulations. No Service Record exists for him. He was Private Samuel George Hurst, Sports 791 of the 23rd Battalion Royal Fusiliers. Imagine attached.

This image might be of interest to you. A newspaper page depicting all that was known about the RE Inland Water Transport Company's HQ at Richborough in Kent. It looks a bit like a cartoon sketch but is in fact full of facts. I know equipment of all types was shipped across the channel then down the rivers and canals to places like Zeneghem ammunition Store purpose built on the junction of the river Aa and Calais Canal just above Watten.
