Title: Albert Lorenzo Hutchens
Post by: s58roads on Friday 27 October 17 17:00 BST (UK)

I believe one of my relations Albert Lorenzo Hutchens was an "airman" in the RFC/RAF in 1918, service no 280777.
He was born on the 2 May 1877 Parkfoot, Stirling. Seems to be a bit old for a conscript?
Can anyone provide more details on this chaps service please?
Many thanks.
Geoff

His service records appear to be on Findmypast.  ;D  If you don't have a sub they sometimes have free access around remembrance day.
