James Walter Watts was born in 1893, and worked in the Customs Office before the war. During the war, he was an observer with the RAF and seemed to have belonged to the No. 7 O.S.A., and then might have been a pilot. This badge was in used from 1915 by the RFC, and then adopted by the RAF until it was changed to the Navigators and Bomb Aimers badges in 1942. - Function
