Allan Edward Hayes

I recently was contacted by Mr. Geoffrey Hayes ( ghayes@uwaterloo.ca ) who is Allan Hayes nephew.

Flying Officer Allan Edward Hayes was a Flying Instructor. He enrolled in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). He was of Canadian nationality (service number: J/19172). Son of Cyril E. and Frances Hayes, of Preston, Ontario, Canada; husband of Jean Isobel Hayes. Classified as Commonwealth War dead.
