Re: 100 Group WAAF names needed 1944
Danny you can do most of these yourself
Step 1 - Go to a 1944 Air Force List (say Oct 1944) https://digital.nls.uk/british-milit...chive/96416262 Step 2 - Find the Names In Index (Alphabetical) and find Service Number a) Group Officer E.C Bather Page 1104 (#163) Step 3 - Look up Service number and or Name within LG 1-1-1939 an 1-1-1949 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/all-not...s-page-size=10 a) Elizabeth Constance BATHER 163 Took me 5 minutes Squadron Leader C. Bond, DFC may take a bit longer as you will need to track promotions and awards for the following C 53402 -- > 520309 Cecil BOND ( 53402) C F 139729 -- > Cyril Frank BOND ( 139729) C F 145419 -- > Claude Frederick BOND ( 145419). C H P 62735 --> Charles Hearfield Porter BOND ( 62735). C N 67781 _> Charles Norman BOND ( 67781). C W J 332014 - C W J Bond (unknown but Promotion to F/O 1954) so not likely to be them |

Re: 100 Group WAAF names needed 1944
So, probably the "Father of James Bond"? (LoL).
Could not let this one pass...a bit of Humour does good for everybody. Surely a nice research...is it still related to W/C Bertie O'Bryen Hoare? OBS: There should be an "easy" list for the WAAF....some were Brazilian born that came along with a bunch of Brazilians to serve the RAF... All the best and excuse me for the joke...It was a good one nevertheless. A. |

Re: 100 Group WAAF names needed 1944
Hi Adriano,
How are you friend, yes still in relation to Bertie, its the last bit of the book and it will be off to the publishers before Xmas. I hope, and will certainly put a link on the forum once it is advertised.

Re: 100 Group WAAF names needed 1944
Excellent news Danny!
Your work to preserve his deeds do deserve all the best. You already do have a reader from the other side of the Atlantic. Keep us informed! Adriano. |

Re: 100 Group WAAF names needed 1944
Paul,
You were right, it was Geoffrey, the ORBs were really difficult to see! I am really struggling with these details, I found most of the initials, but no joy in the LG, again poor working on my part! Squadron Officer Ford - WAAF - Nothing in the GL Group Officer B.C Beecroft - WAAF Section Officer M.K Reynolds - WAAF Section Officer D.P Black - WAAF Flight Officer M.P Hyde - WAAF Section Officer E.Macleod - WAAF Section Officer J.E Hamilton - WAAF Any advice please? Thanks Danny
