The flying records for the RFC WW1 were released on Wednesday on the TNA site - so with great excitment I looked them up as I have two flyers from that time. I'm now very confused :conf: (not that that is difficult!).
Horace Martin Capon Ledger according to the TNA records was killed in France so how come on CWGC he is remembered on the Jersualem Memorial? Also if he was an Indian Reserve Officer (2nd Lieutenant) how did he end up attd. French Seaplane Flight? And how can I confirm which is correct - killed in France or in Palestine?
He must've have a special chap though as he appears to have been awarded the Croix de Guerre with Palms and the Legion d'Honneur. Where can I find out about his citiations for these awards?
