Chris Le Roux - promotion to Squadron Leader?
While Le Roux is often mentioned as promoted to Squadron Leader in September 1942 I can find no corroboration of this. He is still mentioned as a Flight lieutenant in the LG in December 1942, and joins 111 Squadron as a Flight Lieutenant in January 1943.
He is promoted to the command of the squadron shortly after but this was due to Tony Barley asking to be taken off operations in mid January 1943. I know his next mention in the LG calls him an Acting Squadron Leader but I assume he was promoted to WS Squadron leader by the time he joined 602 Squadron in July 1944. Could this mean the September 1942 date actually means September 1943? regards Keith |
