FUNERAL AT NAPLES
Victims of Air Tragedy Naples, October 26. The British Consul-General, Mr. Fisher (representing the British Government), Colonel Hetherington (representing the Air Ministry and the Royal Aero Club), and the entire British colony attended the funeral of Messrs. Gilman and Baines.
The Anglican Church at Naples was decorated with the Italian and British colours. Masses of-flowers covered the coffins, which were carried by Italian Air Force officers, who formed a guard of honour. During the service Miss Edith Wilson, Mr. Gilman's fiancee, placed her engagement Ting on the coffin, and knelt beside it, grief-stricken. After the service the Fascist Militia carried the coffins to the Anglican cemetery, where they were interred.
