Sgt. Norman Crowhurst, RAF
« on: Tuesday 30 June 20 11:17 BST (UK) »
Is this too vague? Would like to trace service record of my uncle, served in RAF in WW2, Born1921 in the Uckfield area. Only memory of him was a photo of him, sitting at a piano, wearing RAF uniform with sergeants stripes. Died about ten years ago. Anyone help, please? Thanks

WW2 service records are still held by the Ministry of  Defence (in his case the RAF 3rd party Disclosure Team)

Here is how to go about applying:

PS If he was Norman Joseph then his service number was 1640032:

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Yes that was my route to the possibly right Norman.
