Re: R.A.A.F. member crew V.N. HANSEN K.I.A. in Normandy

HANSEN VERNON NELSON : Service Number - 429431 : Date of birth - 28 Apr 1923 : Place of birth - WARWICK QLD : Place of enlistment - BRISBANE : Next of Kin - MARSH CHRISTIAN

You will find 33 pages of his Service Record has been digitised and is available for viewing online at the National Archives of Australia website - go here http://www.naa.gov.au/The_Collection/recordsearch.html then click on "Search Now - as a guest" then in the form that is displayed type only 'Hanson 429431' in the space "Keywords(or name)" then click on "Search". On the next page click on "Display" to see the files available and you will see an icon which you can click on to view the file that has already been digitised.

This file includes a small photograph of him, casualty notification info, postings, courses, enrolment papers, etc.

There is a further file for this airman which has not yet been digitised. You can make a request for it to be digitised at no cost. It takes approx 4 weeks before it is available for viewing.

Regards & Good Luck
Linzee
