2nd Lt. George Alfred Peacock
British Army Northumberland Fusiliers
My father George Peacock served in the First World War and was promoted from the ranks of the Royal Engineers in France to 2nd Lt in the Northumbrian Fusilliers. While serving with the Fusiliers he was attached to the RFC as a Flying Officer and an Observer and was sent to a School of Aeronautics where he flew a Bi Plane over Salisbury Plain. Probably an RE8/9 target spotting or towing. He was latter promoted a Lt. The family used to have a picture of him standing next to the plane together with a roll of Gun Camera film, so we know it is fact.
I am desperately trying to find out more about the SofA and the RFC connection and have obtained his Officer Service Records from the national archives.
