Notes
All additional information and this short biography are supplied thanks to the research of the Blackpool Grammar School Old Boys: 'He came from Claremont School, and was at the Grammar School from 1931 until 1937. He was the son of Robert and Elsie McLeish of Warbreck Hill Road, and left school to work in an office of a local biscuit manufacturer. He became a Leading Aircraftsman (Air Gunner) (No 581467) in No 264 Squadron, flying in a Defiant I out of RAF Duxford – a most dangerous career. He was killed on 13th May 1940, at the age of 20, and lies in Werkendam Protestant Cemetery in Holland.'
