Another WWII Aircrew help post!
 

I've asked for help a couple of times and been astounded by the kindness and speed of responses.

Trying to trace the service history of 2 brothers, believed to be WWII service pilots.

Charles Frost and his brother Cecil(?) both from the Hastings area. It's alleged that Cecil was an instructor on Spitfires and taught his brother how to fly.

All help gratefully received.

Thanks,

Stik

The following aircrew were killed in Bomber Command - may not be your chaps, but.......

P/O CD Frost 144Sqn Hemswell. Hampden. KIA 23-24 Jun 40 Gardening
He had previously been in a crash on approach to Scampton on a ferry flight on 18-19 Jun but had survived.

P/O CR Frost 83 Sqn Scampton. Manchester. KIA 8-9 Mar 42 Essen.

P/O CA Frost 44 Sqn Dunholme Lodge. Lancaster. KIA 30-31 Mar 44 Nurnberg.

There are a good few other Frosts who were lost in Bomber Comand, but these are the only ones with the first initial "C". I do not have their crew position to hand.

There are 4 Charles and 1 Cecil Frosts on CWGC, but they do not appear to have same parents, or be from the Hastings area...
A Cecil and a Charles were pilots, but if they were flying Spitfires that would tend to put them into Fighter Command rather than Bomber Command.
Of course, they may well have survived....

This may help narrow things down. The Cecil Frost referred to above had a brother Ronald Frost who also died in 1940. They seem to have come from the Forest of Dean.

Perhaps more helpfully there is this:

AMERICAN AWARDS TO BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH PERSONNEL, 1942 TO 1949

FROST, Charles Horace, SL - Bronze Star - 490802 - RAF

Don't hold any RE Frost in Bomber Command Losses during 1940 (or indeed throughout the war. There are a few R Frosts, but no RE).

Thank you, all.

Duff gen - Sam not Cecil and doh, it was WW1.

Apologies.
