Radlein Obituary June 13 1943. Died of wounds, in May, 1943, Constantine Dracoulis, Flying Officer, R.A.F. (Stevenson's, D, 1925-1928) His contemporaries will remember him as a vigorous and decisive personality - vigorous from his first year, when he won the Junior Short run, to his last when he was a House Prefect, in the Sixth Form, and in the 2nd VIII. He left younger than most boys to join the family business. Here his duties took him often to Greece, and his leisure was largely devoted to developing friendly relations between the countries of his birth and his adoption. At the end he was proud to be the only non-British subject to be admitted to the Royal Air Force.
