LIEUTENANT COMMANDER EUGENE KINGSMILL ESMONDE VC DSO (1 MARCH 1909 – 12 FEBRUARY 1942)

 

1942 with the Fleet Air Arm he flew

Leaving behind the land he knew

To fly against the superior Hun

When he and his squadron were undone

Against the German Krieg’s Marine

The pride of the German Navy

And against that determined enemy

His squadron fell into the sea
