CAPTAIN ANDREW (ANTHONY) FREDERICK WEATHERBY BEAUCHAMP-PROCTOR, VC, DSO, MC AND BAR, DFC (4 SEPTEMBER 1894 – 21 JUNE 1921)

1918 with the RFC he flew

Leaving behind the land he knew

To fly against the superior Hun

When victory after victory he won

Between 8 August 1918,

And 8 October 1918

Twenty-six decisive victories

Against determined enemies

Despite suffering a bad injury

He managed to land safely
