![]() I am trying to trace the Service history of Flt Lt Reginald Carey Brenton BRADING DFC RAF (Deceased) who served with the RAF during and after WW1 and died in Iraq on 26 July 1926. He is commemorated in the Ma'aser Al Raschid RAF Cemetry Iraq (formerly known as the Hinaidi Peace Cemetry before 1961) and located outside Baghdad in the Zafaraniyah district. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Re: RAF in Iraq 1926
Brading is a 13 victory (actually "decisive combats") ace with 201 Squadron in the May-Nov 1918 period. His combat reports (I show 33 combats) can be found in Air 1, with the 3rd Brigade pieces, and in the 201 Sqn piece. A short biography can also be found in Above the Trenches (Grub Street, 1990) by Christopher Shores, Norman Franks and Russell Guest.
Frank.
