Radlein Obituary November 19 1944. Killed in action in France, Aug. 1944, Henry Anthony Thompson, Capt., R.War. R. (E). (Smale's, H, 1930-32). He was at Radley for only two years and we have not seen him since he left. But we remember him as one who, during his short time here, was a boy of great vitality, with an irrepressible sense of humour which brought him much trouble, but made him many friends.
