This is my uncle, George Combes/Coombes. This photo was taken in 1940 when he was 16 years old. George was born in Tenterfield, New South Wales, the eldest of 3 children to Anastasios (Ernest) and Spiridoula (Lily) Combes/Coombes.

George later joined the Royal Australian Air Force in January 1943 until November, 1946. He was a Leading Aircraftman in the 78th Squadron.

He is my mother's brother. My mother is Maria (Mary) Condon nee Combes/Coombes.
