June 15 1941. Recorded as missing November 23 1941. Missing, now officially presumed killed in action in H.M.S. Hood in May 1941, Paymaster Lieutenant Frederick Anthony Porter-Fausset. RN., (Hedgecock's, F, 1932-5). He passed into the Navy by the Special Entry examination. as a Paymaster Cadet and joined H.M.S. Frobisher. We remember him as a very cheerful and popular member of his House. He was a keen wet-bob. and a successful member of the Dramatic Society. The following lines, evidently written while he was at Radley, were found among his papers:- MORNING AND EVENING. Trumpeter, welcome the dawning day, Fret not that the soldier's dreams are torn Your message shall on the breeze be borne- A fanfare! Time will not stay. Trumpeter, sleepily sound the call. Tell that the struggles of day are past, The weary soldier soon sleeps fast. Give him peace now, he who must fall. F.A.P.F., 1935. |
