Alf Short - 8 Squadron WW2
I am researching the 8 Squadron in WW2 where Alphonse Short or Alf as his mates referred to him served. I am looking to connect with Alf's daughter Kim and share the photos and images from PNG with Kim and her family.
Alf was part of the squadrons senior aircrews and served with distinction. He also was an enthusiastic contributor to the 8 Squadron Newsletters after the war. To date I have been able to connect with the families of the rest of Alf's Beaufort crew.
If someone can assist me in connecting with Kim or her extended family
Thank You
Neil Corrigan
