THE CASE MEMORIAL PANELS // The display panels you see around the Memorial site are / dedicated to the memory of Pilot Officer Herbert Robert Case. / He lost his life in the final stages of the battle of Britain / on 12 October 1940, when his Spitfire crashed in a field / not far from this site, after combat with enemy aircraft. // ONE OF THE FEW // Herbert Case, from Withycombe, Somerset, / had joined the RAF Volunteer Reserve in 1936 / and was called up immediately at the outbreak of war. / He served with Nos 64 and 72 Squadrons in 1940. / He was known as bright, cheerful and interested / in all things mechanical. A colleague remembered / him as a ‘young man keen to get to grips with the enemy’. // His early death at the age of 24 here at Capel-le-Ferne / symbolises the terrible but magnificent sacrifice made / by so many during the Battle of Britain. The names of the / nearly 33,000 aircrew who served, known as ‘The Few’, are recorded / at this site on the Christopher Foxley- Norris Memorial Wall. // Picture Caption – A pilot of / No. 64 Squadron, / in which / Herbert Case served, / scrambles to his / Spitfire.
