William Young, Last of the Royal Flying Corps


William Young was 107 when he passed away in 2007, and was the last Veteran who served in the Royal Flying Corps. He had actually signed up for service before he was 18, but could not actually serve until his 18th Birthday. During WWII he was working in Borneo when the Japanese invaded. He was imprisoned in a Japanese Camp from 1942-1945. At the time of his death he had been living in Australia for 60+ years. I never got to have him sign this. It was sent back to me return to sender, and before I could try again, he passed away.
