Rick W Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Nice find, especially the tags. Be interesting if you could trace his history. I bought a WW2 RAF tunic last year and found some personal effects, nothing as good as that though. I just found a pencil , bus tickets, and an old packet of fags!

RAFMT Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 He was a Padgate entrant. But you're in that catch 22 situation of not being able to get his records until you know more details, and the easiest way to get ore details is from his service record!

Rick W Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Oh, guess what I have found with a rummage in the deep pockets of my tunics! 2 dog tags, one round, one hex shaped, with some unknown french medallion attached! R.C. Bass RAF service number 940189. Well chuffed.:-D Pics to follow! On your medical cards, wasn't that a hospital specially for burnt or badly injured soldiers/airmen?
