Further loss came with the death in action of Lieutenant Ian Macdonnell, R.F.C. He obtained his brevet from the Royal Aero Club as a pilot in December, 1913, after passing through the Bristol School of Flying at Brooklands. Soon after the outbreak of war he was gazetted a lieutenant in his father’s regiment, Lord Strathcona’s Horse. In March, 1915, he became A.D.C. to Brigadier-General J. E. B. Seely, C.B., D.S.O., commanding the Canadian Cavalry Brigade, and served with them in the trenches, including the battle of Festubert, till he became attached, on probation, to the R.F.C. in September, 1915. He was gazetted flying officer on November 6 of the same year. He met with a serious accident through the failure of his engine in December, 1915. His observer was killed and he himself more or less seriously injured. He reported for duty with the R.F.C. on May 18, 1916. His major in the R.F.C. wrote that he was very skilful, full of daring and gallantry. He was a grandson of Lieutenant-Colonel J. T. Campbell, a Crimean veteran, and his father belonged to a Cadet family of the Macdonnells of Glengarry, which have given so many officers to the Empire. In the case of another gallant officer, Second-Lieutenant L. C. Kidd, death followed quickly upon brilliant achievements. Shortly before his death he was awarded the Military Cross. He took his pilot’s certificate at Hendon before the war, and was tea-planting in Ceylon when war was declared. He returned as soon as possible, and was at once given a commission in the R.F.C., and, after a short period of home training, went to the front in February, 1916. Since then, with two short intervals of leave, he had been flying continuously at the front. Amongst other names on the Roll of Honour we would mention Second-Lieutenant J. S. Mitchell, Second-Lieutenant Aubrey F. A. Patterson, Second-Lieutenant Robert Shirley Osmaston, M.C., and Lieutenant Edward Carre. Second-Lieutenant J. S. Mitchell, R.F.C., was the only son of Colonel and Mrs. Mitchell, of Sandygate, Wath-on-Dearne, Rotherham. He was educated at Bramcote School, Scarborough, and Rugby, leaving there in July, 1914. He went for a tour to Australia and Canada, returning in July, 1915, when he began to work on munitions at Sheffield. In January, 1916, he applied for a commission in the R.F.C., and was gazetted in June, being appointed a Flying Officer on September 4. He died abroad of injuries accidentally received on October 5, aged twenty.
