Further Information About WHITE Frederick Harry

A letter from H.J. Winnington, Honorary Secretary of PCC, St James Church, Wollaston dated 17th December 1950 can be found within war records held at Worcestershire Archives requesting that Leading Airman Frederick Harry White, Fleet Air Arm be added to the county roll of honour.

The following information has been researched by and is courtesy of The Black Country Society:
Frederick White lived at Wollaston and was the son of Leslie and Lavinia White. He was educated at King Edward’s School from 1935 to 1940 and went on to be a clerk at Marsh and Baxter. He enlisted in the Royal Navy and in 1944 was stationed at HMS Shrike, a Fleet Air Arm station at Maydown near Limavady, Londonderry. By this time it was engaged in anti-submarine patrols. These ranged widely over the Atlantic and it suffered relatively high losses of aircraft. Probably on one of these patrols Leading Airman Frederick White died on the 23rd April 1944.
