Gerald
Featherstone |
This
man is very elusive and does not appear on the CWGC. All indications
are that this is Lieutenant Gerald Featherstone Knight, MC. Local
newspapers mention him as volunteering at the outbreak of the war
and that he escaped from a German POW camp in 1917. The Gazette
entry regarding his MC which was awarded in 1919 along with several
other RFC/RAF Officers for escaping from captivity. Lieutenant Knight
appears reluctant to appear on any other offical documents. There
is no record of a date or place of birth or date of death.
