Gerald Seeley, pupil, age 7, born India

Gerald Seeley was born on 9th May 1903 at Port Blair, Andaman Islands. He played a single first-class game for Worcestershire against Nottinghamshire in 1921. He also played several times for Marlborough College.

No 21 Squadron was a light bomber squadron equipped with Blenheim IV bombers. At the end of May 1940 following the German invasion of the Low Countries, the squadron moved to Lossiemouth to join Coastal Command. Between June 1940 and December 1941 they operated as an anti-shipping unit, alternating between Lossiemouth and Watton.

A letter from the Reverend J.R. Bamber, Holy Trinity Vicarage, Malvern, dated 1st May 1950 can be found within war records held at Worcestershire Archives requesting that G. Seeley be added to the county roll of honour.
