Notes
All additional information and this short biography are supplied thanks to the research of the Blackpool Grammar School Old Boys: 'He was the son of Frank and Florence Kenyon of Kenilworth Gardens in South Shore, and came to the School from Blackburn in 1934, working in engineering after leaving school. He joined No 110 Squadron as a Sergeant (No 581396) flying the very dangerous Blenheim IV aircraft from a variety of UK bases. He was killed on Sunday 23rd June 1940, aged 23, one month after the evacuation from Dunkirk and just a couple of weeks before the Battle of Britain started., probably on an ill-fated raid over Holland, because he is buried in the Amsterdam New Eastern Cemetery.'
