‘A Short Life in the Sky’: the story of a WWI pilot
Memorial Scroll  
(NRS reference: GD486/210)

Transcript:

The memorial scroll is headed with the Royal Arms and written in a decorative italic script, with the name of the recipient added in blue ink below the official text.

He whom this scroll commemorates
was numbered among those who,
at the call of King and Country, left all
that was dear to them, endured hardness,
faced danger and finally passed out of
the sight of men by the path of duty
and self-sacrifice, giving up their own
lives that others might live in freedom.
Let those who come after see to it
that his name be not forgotten.

Flight Lt. John Douglas Hume D.S.C.
