FLT LT REGINALD ALEXANDER JOHN WARNEFORD VC (15 OCTOBER 1891 – 17 JUNE 1915)

 

Valiantly he fought

Against Zeppelins

And the patrols alike

A young man,

In the prime of life

Died an ironic death

Not taken by the bullet

Or by the bomb

But in a flying accident

When the wings folded

On a new kite

During a test flight
