Dear Jimbo27
I found you via a search into the London Gazette archives. I have heard that that area can be 'tricky' ! Your info seems a good place to start.
The DFM is my main request - No #, Sgt Ronald Critchley Air Gunner on 103 Sq. MIA 24Jul41 attacking Brest. BELIEVED to have been awarded DFM while in France in 40 with AASF. Did shoot a Heinkel down from a Battle! Told sister waiting to have it pinned on at RAF Elsham Wolds, taken off to do Brest op. They were shot down on approach to tgt day B4 his 21st bday. I can't trace him in DFM awards [incomplete list] but a Sgt CRITCH pilot WAS awarded one 103 in France AASF.
DSO & DFC for my father 53481 Flt Lt John Percy WHYMARK. DFC on 101 Sq Gaz 13 10 44 [4693]. DSO 103 Sq 26 10 45 Missing 4 Oct 45
Be grateful for info on where these are please.
