 PRESUMED LOST

FLT RIGGER A. E ELRICK, RAAF Formerly of Hobart, who has been presumed lost as the result of air operations in the Bay of Biscay in January. He was previously reported missing. Flt-Rigger Elrick was the son of Mr R. T. Elrick, of Hobart, and the late Mrs Elrick.

He was employed by W. Coogan and Co. when he enlisted in the RAAF in 1941. He was attached to the 461Sunderland Flying Squadron in England at the time of his death. He was a prominent cyclist, and his Tasmanian record (29s.) for the junior flying quarter mile still stands. He was also a junior member of the Sandy Bay Rowing Club.

Please note that there might be information from other websites or brochures "reprinted" here- under the laws of "fair use". In every instance -we hope- we have provided a direct link to the owners web site. We do not claim rights or ownership to any of their information. We do thank them sincerely for their efforts. We have in every instance made a good faith effort to contact and request 'reprint' permission. Nonetheless, we do want to be certain that nothing gets lost due to web site disappearance and the like, so it appears duplicated here.

Tasmanian War Casualties, Honouring the past, building understanding.
