Sgt Frederick Eley 745667 74 Squadron 1940

I am trying to trace some details about Sgt Fred Eley who flew with 74 Squadron during the Battle of Britain in 1940 and was shot down and killed on 31st July by Hauptmann Horst Tietzen of 5./ JG 51.

Sgt Eley appears to have joined the squadron February 15th 1940 more than five months before his death but i can find no record of his name in any publications, other than the engagement on the 31st July. I have yet to also see any potos of him too !

The only details i have, i have taken from Men of the Battle of Britain.

Can you help ?

Thanks.
