OK, His military career started at the age of 15 and retired from active duty just before WWI.
A short retirement as war broke out and he was recalled.

Extra little help: What's he holding? It might help in the search.

Galahad,

Sorry for the delay, I have been unable to get a reply from Waleed and he appears not to have visited the AHF for some time, so I am happy for you to ask the next question if you so desire?

Terry

As Galahad is no longer active here we need a new question.

hi,

OK, I`ll volunteer ... with a slightly naval question, of course ...

What was the longest flight (time and distance) undertaken during WW I ?
