PELL

Dennis Britton

Sergeant (Pilot U/T) 955979, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. Died 13th June 1943. Aged 26. He was born on 23 October 1916, the son of William Henry and Alice Pell of Westbury Road, Westgate. Son of William Henry and Alice Pell; husband of Nora Pell, of Heald Green, Cheshire. Buried in MARGATE CEMETERY, Kent. Section F. Grave 345.

After attending Chatham House school in Ramsgate he joined the Metropolitan Police on 28 May 1934 as a Divisional Clerical Assistant and was called to duty with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve on 16 April 1940.

He was the husband of Nora Pell, of Heald Green, Cheshire. They married on 29 October 1938.

On 26 May 1943 he joined No. 48 Flying Training Course at RAF Cranwell as Sergeant 955979 RAFVR. The Operations Record Book for 13 June 1943 reads : “ Sergeant D B Pell, a pupil of No. 48 Course, killed as a result of a flying accident on the South Aerodrome. A Court of Inquiry was held.”

He was a noted athlete. During the late 1930s he regularly won the mile, half mile, one mile relay and the individual challenge cup at the annual Civil Service Athletics Association meetings. He also seems to have been unbeatable in cross country events. He was only fifteen when he first ran at the White City coming second to Sydney Wooderson, holder of the world mile record. He never beat Wooderson but in their last race he lost by only one fifth of a second. He was a member of Herne Hill Harriers and regularly represented his country in international events.

Dennis Pell was buried with full military honours in Margate cemetery on Friday 18 June 1943.
