Good evening.

My elderly mother is moving into a home and found an RAF officer's trunk in the loft and has advertised it on e-bay.

I have tried to research it for her but have been going around in circles for a while.

I can only find one F/O J Smalley in the RAF who appears to be a DFC and Stalag Luft inmate.

However, the service number on the (seemingly WWII) trunk is 170105 which is an 1919 RFC number.

Help would be appreciated.

Aubrey.
