217417Cadet Frederick Chalres Marwood
Royal Flying Corps No.2 Cadet Wing
from:Regina, Sask. Canada
My Grandfather Frederick Charles Marwood, was born in 1888 near Birmingham. He was in the Territorial Force (Warwick) for 1 yr. 315 days, & was discharged in 1908, when he was going to Canada. He became a Royal North West Mounted Police, then later was a Constable with Regina Police Force, Regina, Sask. Canada. He joined up with the Canadian Air Force, originally with the 38th Overseas Battery. On Oct. 6th he was awarded a medal for bravery at the Somme with helping a fellow officer in heavy Fire. He was discharged from the Canadian Air force on the 11/8/1918 since he was appointed Flight Cadet with the R.F.C. He was with No. 2 R.F.C Cadet wing, No. 2 Squadron Reg. No. 301609. Date of joining Wing was 23rd Jan 18. Around 1919 he was 2nd Lieut. I knew he flew a Camel airplane. I am lucky that I have most of his documents from his life in the Air Force etc.
