Air Ministry 1st January, 1946. –
The KING has been graciously pleased to
give orders for the publication of the names
of the following personnel? who have been
mentioned in despatches: —
Sgt Geoffrey Ronald Gallear 1868185
He was later commissioned (after the end of WW2) when apparently he trained as a pilot. If he was commissioned earlier he would have changed his service number
but it looks like by this time, the RAF changed the system and he kept his service number on commissioning: 1868185
It looks like all the Cadet Pilots he trained with were ex Non-Commissioned but kept same service number on becoming officers
21st Nov. 1951.
