Arthur Ernest Percival Mott of Salisbury St Essendon was training as a pilot when his aeroplane was lost at sea near Montrose, Scotland. It was some time before his body was found on the beach. A military funeral was arranged, which may even have been the one pictured above. Arthur, though still very young, had made an impression on the military authorities already, and you can read why here.
