Can't help with deciphering, but his R.A.F. records on Fold3.com record:

Fell overboard Stm T. 'Braemar Castle" at sea 5.1.23 and officially accepted as having died (presumably drowned) on that date.

His middle name is recorded as Pretorius.

The Braemar Castle is recorded as having passed Perim Island (west of Aden) on January 1st on its way to Karachi from Southampton, as reported in the 'Movement of Liners' in the Westminster Gazette of Janaury 3rd 1923.

Paul,

I'm pretty sure the word is 'otherwise'.

Simon thanks for info on the approx. location of his going over board - his death was reported by Depot Ambala - which would indicate he on way to India as suggested by your report

Brian - yes "otherwise" it is..
