Frank Horatio Gledhill

Frank Horatio Gledhill was a Flight Lieutenant in the RAFVR, service number 87389. CWGC records his death on 28 December 1942, aged 37, and his burial at Grimsby (Scartho Road) Cemetery. The local award trail records the Air Force Medal.

The web search produced an exact Aircrew Remembered death row and Gazette officer notices, but no detailed accident or operation page. Aircrew Remembered matches Gledhill by full name, service number, rank, AFC, date of death and cemetery, and records his parents as Bedford Sharpe Gledhill and Sarah Maude Gledhill and his wife as Betsy Gledhill of Grimsby. Gazette PDFs trace his commission and promotion details. Because the checked web sources did not supply an aircraft, unit or cause of death tied securely to him, this draft does not add those facts. These records tie the same name to the same service number, award trail and casualty date, reducing the risk of confusing him with another airman of similar name.
