Hill, R,A.F., of Leeds, England, was killed in an aircraft accident on October 2nd. Last year about, this time Frank was missing after air oper- ations but managed to escape and re- turn home three months later. Many people will remember the class of navigators who I graduated from Port Albert two years ago and while there made their "home away from home" at various places in Wingham. Frank was one of these boys and while here stayed at VanWyck's. His friends will be sorry to learn of the accident.
