(d.8th March 1918)
On 8 March 1918 Capt Alexander Bruce Kynoch 231008 from No 37 Sqn RFC and Duke of Wellington's Regiment was flying a BE 12 C3208 from Stow Maries aerodrome, and Capt Henry Clifford Stroud of No 61 Sqn RFC and the Royal Engineers was flying an SE 5a B679 from Rochford aerodrome on a mission to intercept a German bomber raid. Many sorties had been grounded that night because of the weather. The aircraft collided in the darkness over Shotgate and fell into a field on Dollymans Farm
Capt. Kynoch, who had served in Gallipoli, Egypt and Macedonia is buried in the St Pancras and Islington Cemetery in north London. Capt. Stroud is commemorated on a memorial in the field near Rayleigh where his aircraft fell, and is buried at Rochford Parish Church adjoining the airfield from which he flew.
