Re: Graham Hulse
Keith,
Have you consulted the London Gazette? Hulse was promoted from F/Sgt. to P/O on probation on 29 May 1943, to F/O on 29 Nov. 1943, and to F/L on 29 May 1945. In the field however, the news of promotions often lagged by weeks or months, particularly in combat zones away from the UK. Also it was not uncommon for pilots to receive promotion to acting F/L or S/L. Hulse was already an acting Flight Lt. in 213 Sqn. prior to his official promotion after the war in Europe was over.
Cheers,
Tom
