NSW Airmen

A good number of pilots trained at NSW SAS, Richmond, went to RFC/RNAS/RAF. Most are hard to get a lead on. I need info on fates, service, etc to confirm half-answers on some, all data on others. The men's names as I have them are as follows. Some given names open to challenge.

In the bookshop of the Aust War Memorial in Canberra there is a book titled something like Australian Aces. It covers both world wars ,has an SE5a on the dust cover and gives bios of all 45 odd WWI aces born in Australia regardless of who they served with. Might help.
