Re: What happened to 601 Sqn on 6 Sept 1940 at 9.30 am?

Hi Juga,
According to the records Davis was promoted to Flight Lieutenant on September 3rd 1940. The inscription on his grave is as a Flight Lieutenant.
However, his combat report for September 4th shows him signing as F/O Davis.
There is no mention of his promotion in 601' s ORB so I can only presume that he died before being officially notified of it.
