We have been unable to find out very much about this officer which is rather dissapointing. If<br />
you can help us by providing additional information about him or indeed any other man listed<br />
here, please get in touch with us at ashfordfallen@hotmail.co.uk Thanks.<br />
Alec died in some kind of flying accident whilst serving at the <strong>Wye</strong> RFC aerodrome.<br />
His name does not appear on any local civic tribute which is disappointing.
