Hi All

Does anyone have any research data on the RNAS, looking for details of the following chap,

Sub. Lieut. J.K. Becurd, Royal Naval Air Service,

The officers name is Blandy
I checked the RNAS POW's listed in the January 1918 Navy List, using the clear initials G.K, and came up with the name Blandy
He is listed in the Cox & Co list of officer POW's under the Balkans (this includes Bulgaria) he was repatriated in October 1918
Hope of some use

Frank
