Title: Obituary of Lt. Ewart Austin Bourchier Wimbush, RAF, 8 Aug 1918

Description: 'Lieut. EWART AUSTIN BOURCHIER WIMBUSH, R.A.F., was the only son of the late John Bourchier Wimbush, of Rothwell, Yorkshire, and Maud Howland Jackson, of Ringwood. He was educated at Stubbington House, Durlston Court, and in H.M.S. Worcester. At the age of 17, when the war broke out, he obtained a commission in the R.N.V.R., and after completing the usual course of gunnery in H.M.S. Excellent, he was appointed to the Tipperary, but was on sick leave when the Tipperary went down in the Battle of Jutland, and he was then appointed to the Carysfort, in which he served until he volunteered for the R.N.A.S. in 1917. After training he was sent to the Eastern Mediterranean where he took part in the bombing of the Goeben. He met his death in a duel over the enemy lines while on a reconnaissance on May 23rd, his 21st birthday. The King had conferred on Lieut. Wimbush the Distinguished Flying Cross.'
