There cannot be many Josiah Lancashire Hadfields in the services, it I have found one who was in the Royal Air Corp....which was a precursor to the RAF.....and he has his wife 'Nellie' as his next of kin.
If this is the right man then I have his service number.
Did he come from Denton or the Ashton area of Manchester?
Margaret you are a star, everthing that you have said corresponds, yes he married Nellie, yes he came from Denton/Ashton. he was born in1889 and died in 1965. Nellie was born in 1890 and died in 1962.

I know that he served in Ishmalia (Egypt) but I don't know the dates. I think that the Royal Air Corps would possibly be part of the Royal Fling Corps.

I am sorry but I have not received your P.M.
you have got me excited with your findings, thank you, please keep up the good work. Your's a grateful Taddy.
