Military Funeral To Be Accorded British Cadet (continued from first page) training at the time of his accident. The death of Cadet Pritchard cast a deep gloom over the school person* nel and extended throughout the community. The British cadets by their fine personality and gentlemanly qualtiles, their lntnese devotion to their country and gracious acceptance of Amercian ideas have won the deep respect, admiration and affection of all Camden peoples. The pews of the tragedy of Wednesmornlng spread like wildfire through the city and community and through the afternoon and evening the everrecurrent inquiry on the. streets was as to how Cadet Pritchard wt?s faring. News of his death Thursday cast a pall of gloom over the city. There appeared to be a deep realization of the fact that the cadet, only 20 years of age, and thousands of miles away from his own home, had fulfilled the duty of dying for his country, for his death was essentially that of a hero. According to the official report of the tragedy. Cadet Pritchard wtth some 12 hours of flying, was taking off for his morning flight. Another cadet was in a second plane taking off at the same time. In some manner the wings of the two planes collided. The plane piloted by Cadet Pritchard went out of control and crashed. It burst into flames at once. The crash crew of the aid school was on the scene Instantly and the unconscious cadet was dragged out of the plane, but not before he had been severely burned. He was rushed to the hospital where sxamination disclosed that In addition to being badly burned, he had sufferters, Miss Betty Jane Sarratt, and Bd a skull fracture and other broken bones. Physicians sta^e tha^.,when the plane crashed Pritchard was hurlad against the cowling and was knockad out. He never regained consciousless, it is said. i The unfortunate cadet was popular itnong his cadet mates and had also won many friends among the people if Camden. It was the first serious accident, to iccur at the Southern Aviation school. Because of the many people who will want to attend the funeral services at Grace church, it has been lecessary to arrange regulations which will close the body of the ;hurch to civilians until after the Drocession has entered. Dr. Maurice Dlark has announced that seats in the jalcony will be available before the uneral procession enters the church, jut the seats In the nave cannot be >ccupied until after all in the proceslion have taken their places. It is interesting to know that when he news of the death of Cadet Pritch* ird became known, mdny offers of mrial lots poured into thfe Episcopal ectory. The Daughters of the Conederacy organization was the first to iroffer a burial plat. During the service at the church he 6hoir will sing three hymns, they being "How Firm a Foundation", "Rise Up, Oh Men Of God" and "Onward Christian Soldiers".
