Hi, looking for data on subject, helping work mate to find more on his grandfather.
Reginald was a Wing Commander RAF WW2. He married on the 10th July 1942 to Ella Astri Berge in South Africa while on active service. Have a copy of record.
Reginald was born in 1911, Middlesex, England.
Ella was born in 1917 South Africa.
Any other data would be greatly appreciated
