NAVAL OFFICER LOST ON GLORIOUS
SERVICE IN NEW ZEALAND (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 27. A naval officer who formerly served for two commissions in New Zealand lost his life when the aircraft carrier Glorious was sunk as a result of naval action on June 8. He was WarrantEngineer James Henry Longman, aged 40, a son-in-law of Mr G. H. Rosenfeldt, of Mount Eden. Warrant-Engineer Longman was born in Hull and entered the Royal Navy School for Engineers at Chatham about 1918, seeing some service in the last war for which he was awarded a medal. He was drafted from the Bermuda station to New Zealand in the H.M.S. Dunedin as chief engine-room artificer from 1928 to 1930.
When he returned to England he served in the Warspite, being promoted to warrant-engineer in 1931. Next year he came back to New Zealand, again serving in H.M.S. Dunedin until 1935, when he was drafted to England. He then joined the seaplane carrier Pegasus, in which he remained until being transferred to the Glorious in December 1937. Warrant-Engineer Longman married Miss Dorothy Rosenfeldt, who is now a resident in Gillingham, Kent.
