FX 80500 George Jake Bryan Kendall, Fleet Air Arm, Leading Airman HMS Daedalus RN, he was killed on 27 March 1941. 'Jake' Kendall is buried in All Saints' Churchyard, Netheravon in Wiltshire. He was born in 1920, the only son of Ewart Clifford and Zoe I M (Taylor) Kendall of Carisbrooke, Kirby Muxloe. He was the grandson of William Wheeler Kendall, the umbrella manufacturer and of George Taylor. His parents and both sets of grandparents lived on Kirby Fields.

The Leicester Mercury of Saturday 29 March 1941 carried the news of Jake Kendall's death. It tells us that Jake, who was 20 years old, was educated at Malvern School and St Edward's, Oxford. He left school in July 1939 and volunteered for the Fleet Air Arm, which he joined early in 1940. He had passed his tests, got his wings and was shortly to obtain a commission when he died.

HMS Daedalus was a Royal Naval Air Station at Lee on Solent; and there was a Fleet Air Arm Flying Training School at Netheravon. Pilot Officer Henry John Craig died on the same day and is also buried at Netheravon, which seems to tell its own story. There are 45 CWGC graves in All Saint's Churchyard at Netheravon.

  Noted events in his life were:

• He served in the military. ² Fleet Air Arm
