Title: Flight 8 March 1917 - Obituary

Description: Second Lieutenant H. B. H. Cox, R.F.A. and R.F.C., the youngest son of Mr. G. W. S. Cox, J.P., of the Indian Police (retired), was accidentally killed on January 29th, while flying in England, owing to an accident to his machine. He was just about to proceed to the advanced part of the pilots' course. He was educated (1905-13) at Bedford School, where he distinguished himself by his ability and vigour, not only in work and games, but as Company Sergeant-Major in the O.T.C., and as head of the school. In 1913 he accepted an appointment at Selangor. On the outbreak of the war he returned to England, and was nominated to Woolwich. In 1915 he passed out into the Artillery, but was soon afterwards selected for the R.F.C. He was on active service in France for 10 months, and did excellent work in the region of the Somme

Title: Obituary of Hugh Bertram Hamilton Cox

Description: Lieut. H. B. H. Cox, R.F.A., R.F.C., met his death through an accident on January 29th, while flying at Netheravon. He was just completing his final test, when his machine, which was at a considerable height, was seen to dive almost vertically, and he was killed. Hugh Cox entered the School in January, 1905, and left in February, 1913. On the outbreak of the war he was recommended for a special nomination to Woolwich. There, in spite of the break in his studies, he took a high place, and passed out into the Artillery, but soon afterwards joined the Flying Corps as an observer. He was on active service in France for ten months, and did excellent work. He returned home from the Somme in the autumn of last year for advanced training in flying, and would undoubtedly have won the distinction he deserved if he had been spared to serve again at the front. But he died, as he had lived, doing his duty, and there can be no higher distinction. By permission of Bedford School
