There were obviously none in the Battle of Britain as that is well documented with books such as Wynn's but we know for a fact that a number of British Uruguayans served in the RAF during the war. The RAF obviously had a presence for recruitment in Uruguay (you'd have to imagine that this was most probably only in Montevideo) due to men volunteering and signing up in that country. Uruguay had a modest yet very active British community and I'm interested to know the number of men who served who came from there.

And Kaki3152, I'd imagine you're referring to Alvaro Cuenca's book, "Deber y aventura", a book which I don't have either and yet probably holds the answer or at least the closest attempt at it. Perhaps a member here has it and can help?
