I strongly suspect its because a town/village etc cant be called his "home" here, as he was constantly moving, and you were never in the same place for long during active service.

As for the appropriate war service memorial, i highly doubt we even have a RNAS one, it'll be a blanket one that covers all the services during WW1, and i bet you anything his name will be, with the millions of others, on any roll of honour.
 
The Daily Mail is a very high quality newspaper and a more than acceptable substitute when the tissue roll runs out. But I prefer the Beano. :cowboy:


I might add Warneford's VC is on display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton, Somerset, England. His name is unlikely to be forgotten.
