F/Sgt. Robert Clarence Naffin
Royal Australian Air Force
(d.24th Aug 1943)
My Grand Father, Flight Sergeant Robert Clarence Naffin 416601 RAAF, died age 23 on 24th August 1943. Son of Clarence and Grace Naffin, husband of Diana Stephanie Naffin. My Mother was a year old when he died. I was a few weeks old when she died and my Grand MaMa and her 2nd husband brought me up until I was 7 when my Grand MaMa died. Until now I have not been able to find out about him due to a sense of loyalty towards my Grand MaMa's 2nd husband which is daft because he abandoned me after she died. However he has now died and I feel free to search. I cannot find him in English birth records so maybe he was born elsewhere.
Editor's Note: As Robert served in the RAAF it is very likley that he was born in Australia.
