Thanks for sharing these. Have you researched the names?

For example Darcy Reeve (died in an accident 1916, Hounslow) has quite a bit on Rutland Memorial, eg
darcy reeve.JPG EDIT not sure if this is the same man because Bucheister didn't leave Australia till 1918 so maybe inherited some of these photos?

And Cadet Pillow's death in a flying accident August 1918, Gloucestershire is detailed here on Flickr

And Cadet Needham's death in a flying accident April 1918, Gloucestershire is detailed here


And Cadet Stronach's death in a flying accident July 1918, Gloucestershire is detailed here

And Lt Syd Fry's death in a flying accident August 1918, Gloucestershire, is detailed here

These Gloucestershire accidents were from Leighterton Airfield, near Tetbury. There is an interesting film clip here (cant get link to work so here is the detail of the BBC site)

Fascinating to read the stories behind the men.
