I was contacted by Cliff Thornton regarding a 55 Squadron man who died in an accident while stationed at the Aircraft Deport Baghdad and was buried at Hinaidi on the 2nd June 1935. As well as providing me with useful background information on LAC Robert Raw, Cliff also sent me photographs of Robert Raw's grave as well as the wreath placed on the grave and a photograph of the badge given to Robert Raw when he undertook his apprenticeship at RAF Halton.
