Re: Any info on Captain Marillier, SAAF?
Dear Stefaan,
Thank you for your response. I have all the "Eagles" books. I did not find that reference so thanks for the sharp eye. Do you think it might be the same guy? I am perplexed about a man who was in the service as of 1935 and important enough to get a jubilee medal and a coronation medal. Must have some connections. Is he listed as a casualty somewhere per your reference to a land battle? Cheers, Tod

Re: Any info on Captain Marillier, SAAF?
Don't know if it could be of any interest but this is the record of the CWGC
1 MARILLIER, RONALD FORD Second Lieutenant 205546 31/05/1942 22 South African Air Force South African Column 268. ALAMEIN MEMORIAL Definitely it doesn't seem a Captain. Another Lieutenant Donovan Marillier was lost in 1944 Ludovico |

Re: Any info on Captain Marillier, SAAF?
Hello Rathbone!
Firstly: Fantastic Museum! Congratulations! Your man must be ERIC STANLY MARILLIER Check out those dates and information: 25/07/1932 – Appointed by the King as Official Member of the Legislative Council of Northern Rhodesia 28/12/1934 – Made MBE as Controller of Customs ( N Rhodesia ) 29/10/1935 – He appears to be …Marillier, Esq. OBE ( Controller of Customs ) – I do not know why OBE appears instead of MBE… I checked the numbers 91138 and 11033 and found no matching to the name. I will try 1033 and check WW1 files. Hope to have helped you so far on your search. Friendly yours Adriano ( Brazil ) |
