This is a hard group to find photo’s for.......but, we can’t find them.....the individual records in LAC Ottawa will have a photo of each of them. You’d either have to hire a private researcher, or find someone (maybe on this site) who would be willing to go to LAC, draw the records, and photograph each of the required photo’s

I’m still looking though.....I’ll see if I can find more

Thankyou as always Temujin, I had contacted Arlington Heights High School and the Fort Worth School system where P/O Whitney graduated to see if they had a graduation picture. Of course they looked at me like I was crazy, then I showed them what I had, Graduation Certificate and such, then, especially the High School asked for more info, amazing how that works LOL. I only wish I had some one over in the United Kingdom that could help me as much as you have Temujin with the R.A.F. guys and the A.T.A. guys !

Yeah, I know there will be some of these Fallen Warriors that there are no photo's of, I looked all over for awhile now, every once in awhile a photo would pop out, but these warriors were my hard to find info on folks, so I thought I was ask for some help

Really appreciate the help, once I get this completed as much as I can, I will e-mail you all that I have done !

Cheers, and hope all is well !

George
