ILKLEY – DEAD AIRMAN HONOURED
The remains of Lieut. J. H. Ideson, of the Royal Flying Corps., who was accidentally killed while flying in England, were interred with military honours at the Ilkley Cemetery on Saturday afternoon. Prior to interment there was a service at St. Margaret’s Church, conducted by the Rev. H. J. Glennie, vicar. The choir was in attendance, and Lieut. H. M. Dalton was at the organ; the large congregation including most of the representatives of families belonging to the Ilkley district who have suffered bereavement owing to the war.
Lieut. Ideson’s elder brother, Private Maurice Ideson, of the Australian Imperial Force, was killed in action last September. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Ideson, the dead officer’s father and mother, and Mrs. Maurice Ideson, were the principal mourners, and the military present included Lieut. A. B. Raymond and Lieut. H. Dewhurst, of the Royal Flying Corps, Dartford, sixty of the wounded soldiers from the Ilkley Military Hospital, under Sergeant Cartwright, and a firing party belonging to the York and Lancaster Regiment from the Pontefract Depot, under the command of Captain F. Ibettson.
There were many wreaths, including one from the officers and another from the men of Lieut. Ideson’s squadron. One sent by relatives was beautifully designed to represent an aeroplane propeller.
A very large crowd assembled at the cemetery, and three volleys were fired over the grave, and the ‘Last Post’ sounded by two buglers.
