SERGT.-PILOT JAMES GURNEY

Death of a Popular Lidlington Man

The death has occurred, at the age of twenty-six, of Sergeant- Pilot James Edward Gurney, second son of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Gurney, of Lidlington. Sergeant Gurney’s heart and mind were centred in the Royal Air Force, where he was very successful and popular with his colleagues. He won his "wings" several months ago and had already completed a course of operational flights over enemy territory.

He leaves a widow and baby son, for whom much sympathy is felt. Sympathy will also be felt for his parents, this being the third loss in their family, an elder daughter and son having died under tragic circumstances previously, both at the age of twenty-one years.
