Flt Sgt. Ronald Thornley " " Jaques
Wireless Operator
from:Silver Street, Irlam, Manchester
(d.18 Apr 1945)
Ronald Thornley Jaques was my cousin and I am trying to find out more information about him as I have only a vague recollection of him, being only 5 when war broke out. I have found his memorial at Runnymede via the Internet whilst researching family history. I can still recall seeing him in his RAF uniform with his Wireless Operator "flash" over his left pocket. I do not know date of his enlistment but he volunteered before his time due to the sad ending of his relationship with his girlfriend. He was the only child of Joseph and Millicent Jaques and his father in particular never recovered from his loss.
