Royal Air Force Officers' Service Records for Brews, 1918-1919


Back to One Name Study Index


The following information was extracted from AIR 76/54, an alphabetical register from the Air Ministry Department of the Master-General of Personnel Officers' Service Records, 1918-1919, at the Public Record Office (PRO) in Kew, London.

The PRO website notes:

"Service details for officers of the Royal Air Force (RAF), mainly for men discharged before 1920. Although the records were created from April 1918 upon the inception of the RAF they include details of earlier wartime service.

The forms are pre-printed with the references MGPRI or AM60; MGPR probably refers to the Department of the Master-General of Personnel which would have held the forms prior to its becoming the Directorate of Personnel within the Department of the Chief of Air Staff by June 1919.

The forms appear to have been taken from loose leaf ledgers and arranged alphabetically. As well as in the published Air Force Lists, a muster list of officers in the RAF on 1 April 1918 is also held in AIR 10/232-23."

The below data is an abbreviated listing of the records found, and further information can be obtained from the PRO. However, they will not do research for you; you will either need to go yourself or arrange for a researcher to obtain and/or copy the data for you.
