Cllr Alfred Robinson DEWIS, Oakham Town Council, AS Flying Officer

Cllr Alfred Robinson DEWIS, Oakham Town Council, AS Flying Officer

Since Cllr Alf Dewis became a town councillor, Chairman, Mayor, Chair of the Town Partnership
and most if not all organisations throughout Rutland and not forgetting the CAB from which he departed somewhat mysteriously! He has constantly trumpeted the fact he was a RAF Officer.

Often giving the impression he was somewhat important.

I and others have often been curious to know what he actually did, because of his demeanour and
behaviour falls far short of what one would expect of some one from that background.

So we began some research and found this from the London Gazette:
