F/O Soors (Belgian) of RAF 197 Sqn

[Ex Shack]

Alex and Leendert
Don't forget that on CWGC the heading "Nationality" is not that of the Casualty but of the Air Force in which he served. CWGC shows Soors as being RAF ,which suggests that he enlisted direct into the service of ,to him, a Foreign power and did it before the outbreak of war otherwise it would be RAFVR. If he was a member of the Belgian Air Force under RAF Command he would not be on the CWGC list at all.A second point that needs to be considered is that with a wife in Occupied Belgium, he may have flown under an assumed name to protect her and was only listed under his true identity on becoming a Casualty on a list that would not have been available to the Germans. The absence of the name Soors on the site that Leendert mentioned could be explained by this, so you might find another name with a date-of death the same as Soors, which could be him.
