ROYAL FLYING CORPS - WINGS OVER FRANCE # 5

 

Valiantly he fought

Against Balloons

And the patrols alike

A young man,

In the prime of life

Fought against

Superior numbers 

Above the Forêt de Mormal

Despite horrific injuries

He won the day

And landed safely

 

Lt Colonel William George "Billy" Barker VC, DSO & Bar, MC & Two Bars (3 November 1894 – 12 March 1930)
