Hi Saxonw
They mixed and matched them on all the sqns.  My Sqn that I am interested in was listed as a NZ one but they had all sorts of nations on them.

Saxon

Have you found the pathfinder museums website when you were googling. Maybe the guys there might be able to help too!

I know its a bit of a rigmarole but have you tried the London Gazette and Flight Global? Try putting in his initials and surname only... I gather you have been sent the form for applying for his service record.  The Canadians which I gather the Warrant Officer is have their own record systems.  If you google WW2 Canadian records it might bring up a link.

Hi Dee
I haven't tried the London Gazette or flight global. I have tried the Canadian records  a few years back and found nothing. Thanks for the leads.
To saxonw I got your message but for some reason am unable to respond. My email is (*), would really appreciate any information thanks
