ROLL OF HONOUR – Warrant Officer G. D. Jekyll .- The bad news of the death of Warrant Officer George Donaldson Jekyll, whilst on active service overseas with the R.A.A.F., was received by Mrs. Jekyll daring the week. A telegram from the Air Board conveyed the brief particulars that Warrant Officer Jekyll lost his life on the morning of June 9th last, as a result of flying operations near Hornsby, England, during bad weather. The Minister for Air and the Air Board conveyed regret and sympathy in the sad occurrence. Warrant Officer Jekyll, who was 30 years of age, was born near Glen Innes, New South Wales, and came to reside in Queensland with his parents, Mr. and Mrs G. E. Jekyll, when Mr Jekyll took over New Bon Accord station near Dalby, about twenty years ago.
Warrant Officer Jekyll was educated at the Scots College at Warwick and later at the Toowoomba Grammar School. After spending some time on New Bon Accord he enlisted for service with the R.A.A.F. in August 1941. In November 1941, Warrant Officer Jekyll’s marriage with Miss Audrey Thomas, of Roma, took place In Brisbane. He is survived by his widow and an infant son, his mother and father, Mr and Mrs G. E. Jekyll, of New Bon Accord, and a brother, Captain N. D. Jekyll, of the A.l.F. The passing of Warrant Officer Jekyll has been received with profound regret by the community of Dalby and district, where he was held in highest regards, and his name will be honoured as another of Australia’s noble sons who have paid the supreme sacrifice in the service of his country, and the cause for which the United Nations are fighting.
