L/Cpl. Roland Tompson
North Somerset Yeomanry
from:Weston Super Mare
My Father, Roly Tomlinson attended Clarance School in Weston Super Mare. He served as Lance Corporal at Ypres with the North Somerset Yeomanry. He used to tell us stories about the wonderful horses which he helped to break in, then the regiment went mechanical and the chaps were issued with motor-bikes, so at 18yrs of age he transferred to the RFC. He told us he trained at a flying school in Princess Risborough and was commissioned for duty with the RFC as a 2nd Lieutenant, stationed at St Leonards on Sea.
