Thumbs up Edward Corringham "Mick" Mannock VC, DSO & Two Bars, MC & Bar

Wish I'd have thought of it!
I was wondering if I could ask you all to sign the following petition to help Identify one of our most highly decorated fighter pilots, an Ace no less. Currently resting in a grave named only as "A British Airman Of the First World War". Please help make this petition viral by signing, sharing and generating as much interest as possible...

Question: why is a man with the VC and 61 victories in an unmarked grave? Surely he deserved better? Irish politics?

John,
As far as I am aware, it was a failure to identify the body when it was eventually recovered. That the Unknown is in fact Mannock is supposition, based on research by Norman Franks and Andy Saunders.

Enjoy!

Frank.
