I am looking for any information on my grandfather as named above. All I can find is that on his tomb it states.. R.C.A.F
FLT LIEUT ARTHUR R. GANNER
1893 - 1956
I also found a document online stating he was in 11th Worcestershire reg.
But this site has no information on him, nor does the Canadian Legions, he is burried in a vet cemetary in Canada. Born in the UK.Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
