Got One in Your Family?
A First War flier, I mean. I've noticed that quite a few people who sign the guestbook are related to various fliers.
Most of you know about Adjt. Antonin Gautier, my first cousin once removed. How many of you have a flier in your family tree?

Family; Maj HS Walker CO of RFC 15 Squadron
Hi, I'm a newbie and hope I've found the right place. I'm looking for info on Capt HS Walker with the RFC who was an observor in 3 Squadron and flew as a pilot in 46 and later was CO of 15 Squadron 1917. He has left a very detailed dairy and some photos which I'm sure are of historical significance. I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks, Rob.

Hi Michael,
My maternal grandfather was Driver George Tester, flying as Aerial Gunner with 20 Squadron RFC: KIA with his pilot Captain JS Campbell in Bristol Fighter 'A7210' 28.09.17, shot down by Harald Auffarht of Jasta 18. George was originally a horse ambulance driver with 141 Field Ambulance: but his unit ended up based near Cassel in Summer 1917, only a stone's throw from where 20 Squadron was based at Ste Marie Cappel. Perhaps that's how he came to join the RFC. 'Never Forgotten' Bob
