Cyril Ellen's 1918 RAF Commission

(Click the image for a larger version.)
To mark 100 years since the birth of the RAF (Royal Air Force) I'm posting a copy of the Commission that Harvey's grandad, then Lieut. Cyril Norman Ellen D.F.C., received in November 1918 and which had come into effect on 1st April 1918.

Cyril was based in Stavros in Greece at the time and Frank Marlowe, one of the pilots serving with him, wrote in his diary: -
31st March: The last day of the RNAS. Tomorrow we become RAF - and we don't like it a bit.
