Deirdre - The RAF was formed 1st April 1918 out of the RNAS (Royal Naval Air Service) and the RFC. For events "towards the end of the war", maybe you could look under RAF rather than RFC. And for a casualty, they should appear in the Roll of those killed, available on the CWGC website. Cheers, Doug. > I am hoping someone on the list will be able to help.
