Lieutenant Archibald Touse Streeter was born in 1898 living in East Grinstead, he originally volunteered for service with the Royal Artillery and was then granted a commission in the RFC and qualified as an Observer in March 1918. Following the Great German Spring Offensive of 1918, Lt Streeter found himself posted to France within days of qualifying, landing in France on the 26th March. Posted to 82 Squadron he took his first flight on the 30th March, carrying 8 bombs on patrol, with to become regular pilot Lt Alexander. During this period the log records daily flights of Recon, or Offensive patrols, with comments about each trip, Enemy aircraft and anti aircraft fire regularly appearing. On the 2nd September 1918 the Squadron was briefed for a bombing raid on a bridge. 16 aircraft took off but at 3,000 feet cloud was encountered that topped out at 9,000, with high winds the Squadron became scattered. Returning to base it appears that the engine lost pressure resulting in the engine stopping. At 300 feet an attempt was made to restart the engine with no success, the aircraft stalled and crashed, hence the creation of the mantel clock and walking stick. Unhurt Lt Streeter was briefed for a bombing raid two days later, but again suffered a “dud” engine. On the 29th September he flew his last war flight a Patrol and was attacked by 5 enemy aircraft. He returned to home establishment on the 10th October 1918 and on the 15th January 1919 was posted to 36 Squadron, this was a short lived postings as he was placed on the Unemployed List 6th February 1919. Pair medal entitlement is confirmed
