2nd Lt. Gerald James Mortimer

Royal Flying Corps 35 Squadron

My father Gerald Mortimer was an Observer in France from 1st to 25th of March 1918 when he was shot down early morning near Bapaume having taken off from Poulainville.

I have been to Poulainville and seen the original Airfield and have the intention of taking my 2 sons to see the other March 1918 airfields at Chippily and Estree-en-Chausee. I will send a short report of my visit if anyone is interested. I have some info on 35 Squadron of that era and am still collecting more.
