HELP !!

Hi,all.Could some good samaritan help me in getting any info at all about two pilots: 1)2/Lt.Erroll S C Sen.7o Sqn flying Camels.Shot down 14/9/17,probably by Viezefeldwebel Gustav Schniewind of Jasta 17.POW at Holzminden. 2)Lt.S G Welingkar(MC?).Flew Dolphins with 23 Sqn.Not sure if he was killed or survived the War. Many thanks.Here's wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!Cheers.Mukund.

Mukund,

I have a casualty report on LT SCK Welinkar (sic)?:

27 June 1918 seen in combat with a two seater near Peronne 1115 am reported MIA.

Wound up a prisoner of war and died of wounds 3
days later on 30 Jun 1918...May have been a victim of Ltn Fritz Rumey of Jasta 5.

Regards,

by the way, this Welinkar was flying a Dolphin for 23 Squadron at the time he was shot down so I do believe it is the same individual you are inquiring about.
