Sean Batson: F/O David Payne Croston RAAF WW11

Posted on: Mon 19 Apr 2021

Sadly, David Croston’s WW11 medals remained unclaimed until just recently.  His great cousin Sean Batson now puts a human face to the statement FLGOFF DP Croston KIA.  Through tenacious research, Sean is ensuring that his ancestor’s service is more widely known.
