Charles D. B. Green

Charles Duncan Bremner Green was the son of Charles and Annie Henderson Green. He was born at sea while his parents were en route to Australia. ==World War I==

Green began his military service with the 164th (Halton and Dufferin) Battalion, CEF, with whom he enlisted. He transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, and was rated as a Flying Officer while still a lieutenant, on December 22, 1917. He was stationed in Salonika, Greece with B Flight of 47 Squadron as a pilot of Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5as. On April 13, 1918, he and fellow Canadian Gerald Gordon Bell destroyed an enemy Albatros D.III. When 47 Squadron's fighter flights were incorporated into forming the newly 150 Squadron, Green went with them. On May 6, he began a string of ten triumphs with his new squadron by driving down a DFW reconnaissance foe. He accrued victories one or two at a time until July 18, 1918. By then, he had destroyed six enemy planes, including the one shared with Bell and another shared with Acheson Goulding. He had also driven down five other opponents out of control. ==Post World War I==

Green was finally awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross on January 1, 1919. After his return to Toronto, he married Marion Wilton Baillie, age 22, on June 9, 1923. ==World War II==

Although he was married with three children when World War II broke out, he re-enlisted, this time in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He served near his home at Camp Borden as an instructor, with the rank of Squadron Leader. His service in this post saw him rewarded with the General Service Medal and the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal. ==References==
