Royal Naval Flying Corps - A Rushden Promotion

We heartily congratulate Mr. Horace Twelvetree, late of Newton-road, Rushden, on his recent promotion. He is the only Rushden man attached to the Royal Naval Flying Corps, and has gained, after very arduous and exacting work in the flying department at Yarmouth, the distinction of First-Class Petty Officer in Aeromechanics. Since the beginning of the war, Mr. Twelvetree has been worked up to the hilt perfecting his knowledge in aviation in view of contingencies such as have already arisen in some parts of the country. He was formerly under Lieut. Samson, who has been gazetted to a position in command over the Royal Naval Flying Corps.

Mr. Twelvetree has been in the Navy for over seven years.
