Re: Any info on Captain Marillier, SAAF?
Hello Rathbone!
I do have been doing some researches for you.
Checked the number service P1138 and got no joy...
Checked WW1 files and found:
Sub-Lt Henry C. Marillier ( 26/10/1917 )
Another man was promoted Acting Captain on 02/11/1918 ( 3rd South African Infantry ). Later this same man, F L Marillier was Captain of the 2nd S.Afr.Inf from 1/2/1919 to 25/3/1919.
All I found about WW1...
My "guess" is that we are talking of ERIC STANLEY MARILLIER, as posted previously, but for an unknonw reason, he was given a Commission in the Royal Air Force and PERHAPS given the Command of an Air School during the 40īs. I remember several Mosquito airmen I contacted telling they had done their Basic Training at Rhodesia ( Elementary Flying Training School ). I would lead my researches this way: trying to find out which EFTS or FTS operated in Rhodesia at the time and check their Commanding Officers.
Hope to have helped so far...Good luck on your research and please inform us if you manage to find who he was.
Friendly yours
Adriano
