Having helped someone off-Forum with an aviator inquiry, I have been asked if I can assist with information relating to the above captioned. He was killed on 30/11/1917, whilst serving with 24 Sqn and is named on the Arras Flying Memorial.
Can anyone add details and information and help me help someone else?
Thanks and regards,
Jonathan S

I have just answered some of my own question by finding this link to a 2007 auction catalogue: I would still be interested to hear from anyone that can add to the following, or knows of a photograph.
Many thanks,
Jonathan S
