R.E.8 D4978 in the Catterick area.
On 13th September 1918 this No.49 Training Deport Station aeroplane must have made a forced landing in the Catterick area but the reason for this is not known. It must have landed successfully and received no damage. When it came to taking off the aeroplane hit a tree causing it to make a flat spin and crash. The unit was based at Catterick and the incident must have occurred in the general Catterick area because the injured men were admitted to Catterick Military Hospital.
Pilot - Capt Conrad Tolendal Lally MC and Bar RAF. Injured.
Passenger - AM3 William Hall RAF (163418). Injured.
The pilot was Canadian and has his own Wikipedia page which gives a brief outline of his life, I see no point copying this account. The date of the crash is recorded wrongly on the Wikipedia page. In addition to the Military Cross and Bar he had already received prior to the crash near Catterick on 13th September 1918 he was later awarded the Air Force Cross on 2nd November 1918. He was also awarded the French Croix de Guerre with Palm Leaves.
