| A Great War and Second War Campaign Group of Eight to Sopwith Triplane Pilot, Captain, Later Wing Commander, C.H.B. Jenner-Parson, 8 Squadron Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Air Force, Who Was Recommended for the D.S.C. in 1917, and Drove Down Out of Control At Least 2 Enemy Aircraft, Sharing One Other 1914-15 Star (Flt. S. Lt. C.H.B. Jenner Parson, R.N.A.S.); British War Medal, unofficially engraved; Mercantile Marine War Medal (Charles H.B. Jenner-Parson); Victory Medal, M.I.D. Oak Leaves (G. [sic] H.B.

R.N.A.S.', and two files of copied research (8) £280-320 M.I.D. London Gazette 11.12.1917 Flt. Lt. C.H.B. Jenner-Parson No. 8 Squadron, R.N.A.S. The Recommendation, dated 5.10.1917, states: 'As a Flying Officer, he has done very good work, and has shown gallantry and skill in action.' Recommended for a D.S.C., 26.9.1917 Flight Lieut. Charles Hugh Beresford Jenner-Parson, 8 Naval Sqdn. R.N.A.S. 'This Officer has done consistently good work as a Pilot and has shown much skill and gallantry in action. He has shot down 2 Enemy machines and led many successful Patrols.' Wing Commander Charles Hugh Beresford Jenner-Parson, born St. Vincent, West Indies, 1895; Flight Lieutenant, Royal Naval Air Service, 9.10.1915; carried out training at Cranwell, Eastchurch and Dover Air Stations; gained RAC Aviator's Certificate in a Grahame-White Biplane, R.N.A.S. Chingford, 9.2.1916; posted as Pilot for operational flying to No. 5 Wing, Dunkirk, August 1916; took part in nine patrols that month, including two Fighter Patrols over the Ypres area and one Fighter Escort to a Bombing squadron; carried out a number of bombing raids the following month, including two on Ghistelles Aerodrome, and several Fighter Patrols over Dunkirk and the Fleet; on 7.9.1916 he failed to return from an attack on St. Denis Westerend Aerodrome, but was later reported to have landed safely at Boulogne; proceeded with the Detached Squadron under Squadron Commander G.R. Bromet for service with 22nd Wing Royal Flying Corps, Doullens, October 1916; reported sick the following month, returning to active service when posted to 8 (Naval) Squadron (Sopwith Triplanes), Dunkirk, 26.2.1917; as part of 'C' Flight he named his first Triplane 'Brenda' - much to his annoyance this was crashed by another pilot in March; his new aircraft, named 'Angel', led him to future success; he took part in two combats on 24.4.1917, including, 'N.E. of Bethune. At 11am observed one two seater Albatross on his way home, this side of the lines.... I got into the sun and dived at him getting off several rounds at close range whereupon he dived steeply and I had to break off combat owing to gun jambing. I think that he was hit but lost sight of him while clearing jamb'; he was in action once again, 1.5.1917, 'while chasing one E.A. observed a British machine, like a Martinside stall and go into a spin and on looking round saw a small white, E.A. over Lens. I at once left the first E.A. and attacked him at fairly close range, firing about 60 rounds, whereupon he went down in a vertical nose-dive but apparently under control'; on the 12th and the 20th of the same month he was involved in combats against formations of 15 and 9 Albatross Scouts, and on the latter date whilst on an Offensive Patrol over 'Henin Lietard at about 8.15pm Flt. Lt. H. Jenner Parson opened fire on one at close range. This E.A. went down in a spin for about 2,000 feet, flattening out for a second, and then falling into a spin again. Flt. Lt. Jenner Parson could not watch it any further, but he is of the opinion that it was out of control'; three days later he shared with Flight Lieutenant Soar an enemy aircraft forced down out of control over La Bassee; on 28.5.1917, he single-handedly drove down out of control another aircraft west of Douai, 'Flt. Sub. Lt. Jenner Parsons, in company with 5 other Sopwith Triplanes of No. 8 Naval Squadron, attacked a formation of 7 Albatross Scouts and 3 Aviatiks near Douai at 8.20pm. Diving on one of the scouts he observed tracers hit the engine, whereupon the H.A. stalled, side slipped, and went down out of control. The Pilot is confident that this machine must have crashed'; on 1.6.1917 he took on 4 two-seaters by himself, 'while on a Special Mission [Arras to St. Eloi] I observed 4 H.A. above me. I climbed above them and opened fire at one machine, where upon the other three all closed in on me and attacked me, then followed a running fight. One of the H.A. then broke away and steered in a northerly direction. I followed him and getting close opened fire, firing a lot of rounds into him, tracers being observed entering him. The observer of the H.A. suddenly stopped firing and disappeared into the cockpit as if hit. My gun then jambed and I pulled out and when I next looked H.A. was nowhere to be seen... I turned back and engaged the remaining H.A. and drove them all east'; on the 12th June he shared in driving down another enemy aircraft out of control, this time over Arras; throughout July and September Jenner-Parson continued to be involved in aerial combats, but none proved conclusive enough to add to his score (Recommended for D.S.C.; for further details of Jenner-Parson's service with 8 Squadron see Fighter Pilot on the Western Front, by Wing Commander E.D.
