(Arlington, Massachusetts, August 8, 1892 \u2013 August 26, 1918, near Bapaume).1<\/a><\/p>\n

Henry Bradley Frost was from a family with deep roots in Massachusetts and New England. An ancestor, Edmond Frost, was among the early Puritan settlers in Massachusetts, having emigrated in 1635; on Frost\u2019s mother\u2019s side, the Bradleys can be traced back to an Isaac Bradley of Branford, Connecticut, whose presence there is attested as early as 1667.2<\/a>\u00a0 Frost was the youngest of three children and the only son of an Arlington farmer, Frank Clifton Frost, and his wife, Martha Ann (n\u00e9e Bradley) Frost.3<\/a><\/p>\n

After graduating from high school in Arlington, Frost entered Dartmouth in 1910, graduating with an A.B. degree in 1914. \u00a0He travelled that summer to England; on his return in September, he pursued studies at Dartmouth\u2019s Thayer School and received a degree in civil engineering in 1915. His thesis, \u201cPlans and specifications of a private drive on the estate of Frank C. Frost, Arlington, Mass.\u201d is preserved in the Dartmouth archives.4<\/a>\u00a0 His draft registration card indicates that in 1917 he was working for Swift and Company in Boston and that he had served for eight months in the Iowa National Guard. Another source indicates that he had worked for Swift in Illinois and Iowa in 1916 and 1917 and, that in the summer of 1916, at the time of the Mexican Punitive Expedition, he was stationed with the Iowa National Guard (Company G, 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0Iowa Infantry) near Brownsville, Texas, on the Mexican border.5<\/a><\/p>\n

In the summer of 1917 Frost started ground school at M.I.T., graduating August 25, 1917.6<\/a>\u00a0 Along with about a third of his M.I.T. classmates, he was selected for training in Italy, and he was thus among the 150 men of the \u201cItalian\u201d or \u201csecond Oxford detachment\u201d who sailed to England on the Carmania<\/i>, departing New York for Halifax on September 18, 1917, and departing Halifax as part of a convoy on September 21, 1917. After an uneventful Atlantic crossing the\u00a0Carmania<\/i> docked at Liverpool on October 2, 1917, and the men proceeded not to Italy, but to Oxford, where they repeated ground school at the Royal Flying Corps\u2019s No. 2 School of Military Aeronautics at Oxford University. There is a photo<\/a> of him alongside Harold Kidder Bulkley, Donald Elsworth Carlton, and Walter Chalaire, taken apparently in front of the building which served as the dormitory for the majority of the second Oxford detachment men.<\/p>\n

On November 3, 1917, Frost travelled with most of the detachment to Harrowby Camp near Grantham in Lincolnshire to attend machine gun school. There he shared a hut with four men from his M.I.T. ground school class (Harvard DeHart Castle, Edward Addison Griffiths, Lloyd Andrews Hamilton, and Melville Folsom Webber) as well as Parr Hooper, Edward Russell Moore, and Thomas M. Nial.7<\/a><\/p>\n

Frost was one of the fifty men from the second Oxford detachment chosen in mid-November to leave Grantham for flying schools. On November 19, 1917, he, along with Joseph Kirkbride Milnor, Hamilton, Joseph Ralph Sandford, and Hugh Douglas Stier, set off for No. 14 Training Squadron near Tadcaster in West Yorkshire; a picture of them captioned \u201cThe Big Five at Tad\u201d<\/a> is preserved in Milnor\u2019s photo album.8<\/a>\u00a0 The training planes used at No. 14 were Maurice Farman Shorthorns (\u201cRumpties\u201d). Frost, along with Sandford and Hamilton, was assigned to A flight. Assuming Frost\u2019s progress resembled Milnor\u2019s and Stier\u2019s in C flight, he would have had his first (dual) flight before Thanksgiving and would have flown solo in the first part of December.8a<\/a><\/p>\n

In mid-December 1917 Frost was reassigned to No. 81 Squadron (a training squadron, despite its name) at Scampton a few miles north of Lincoln in Lincolnshire. Murton Llewellyn Campbell, who arrived there December 29, 1917, wrote in his diary that day: \u201cFrost is also in the 81st<\/sup>, been here about two weeks but had no flying as yet.\u201d Nonetheless, and despite winter weather, Frost evidently progressed rapidly. William Ludwig Deetjen, who had gone to flying school at Stamford directly from Oxford, noted in his diary entry for January 18, 1918, that \u201cFrost landed here [Waddington] in an Avro the other day. That is progress and he was at Grantham at that.\u201d If Campbell\u2019s experience is any guide, Frost went on from Avros to Sopwith Pups, and then to Sopwith Camels while at Scampton; his otherwise uninformative R.A.F. service record indicates that he graduated (passed R.F.C. Central Flying School exams and tests) on January 22, 1918.9<\/a><\/p>\n

About a month later Frost was posted to Turnberry in Scotland where there was a school of aerial gunnery; Murton Campbell\u2019s diary entry for February 18, 1918, reads in part: \u201cGot orders this afternoon to go to Turnberry together with Andy and Frosty tomorrow morning.\u201d And for March 2, 1918: \u201cLandis, Frost, Ortmayer and myself together with several R.F.C. men went to Ayr on the 5:01.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. We are billeted in Middleton House on the opposite side of town from the airdrome.\u201d10<\/a>\u00a0 Ayr, just up the coast from Turnberry, was the site of an R.F.C. school of aerial fighting where pilots trained on various planes, including Camels.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, in a cable dated February 14, 1918, Pershing had forwarded to Washington the recommendation that Frost, Murton Campbell, Stier, and Earl William Sweeney be commissioned as first lieutenants; the confirming cable is dated February 21, 1918.11<\/a>\u00a0 There was always some delay between the confirming cable and when the news trickled down to the man in question, and not until March 3, 1918, does Murton Campbell record in his diary that \u201cthe surprise of my existence came this evening in the form of a commission. I had just about given up hopes of such coming through for some time. Evidently Frosty and I were the first to get our bars in the original Italian detachment.\u201d12<\/a><\/p>\n

The entry for April 7, 1918, in\u00a0War Birds<\/i>\u00a0lists Frost as among those \u201cgoing out on Camels to regular British squadrons just as if they were R.F.C. pilots.\u201d Frost apparently left England for No. 2 A.S.D. on April 3, 1918, and then joined No. 210 Squadron R.A.F., a Camel squadron, at Treizennes, about ten miles southeast of Saint Omer, on April 7, 1918.13<\/a>\u00a0 No. 210 \u201cwas engaged in ground attack duties, helping to stop the German offensive\u201d and in \u201coffensive patrols and bomber escort missions over Belgium\u201d; additionally 210 provided \u201cfighter cover\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. to monitors off the Belgian coast.\u201d14<\/a>\u00a0 It moved frequently during the time Frost was assigned to it, from Treizennes to Liettres and then to Saint Omer at the end of April and, on May 30, 1918, to Sainte-Marie-Cappel.15<\/a><\/p>\n

\"A
Entries for May 11, 1918, in the “Accidents Addendum” of Henshaw’s The Sky Their Battlefield II. \u00a0Three pilots from 210 crashed in mist or fog that day within a few miles of one another between St. Omer and Bergues. \u00a0Louis Paul Bryant Adalbert d’Etchegoyen\u2019s injuries were severe, and he died two days later. Eric Stennett Arnold survived, but a casualty card at the Royal Air Force Museum London indicates he spent considerable time in hospital with a fractured skull.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the squadron was still at St. Omer, on May 11, 1918, Frost, taking part in a bombing and offensive patrol, crashed a mile east of Esquelbecq in fog; his Camel (D3382) was damaged, and he was \u201cshaken\u201d and sustained a \u201ccontusion wound under left eye. Not serious.\u201d He returned to duty on May 16, 1918.16<\/a><\/p>\n

Three weeks later, on about June 20, 1918, Frost was at Petite Synthe near Dunkirk, assigned to the U.S. 17th<\/sup>\u00a0Aero Squadron, a pursuit squadron flying Camels; he was joined by\u00a0fellow second Oxford detachment members Hamilton, Weston Whitney Goodnow, and Murton Campbell.17<\/a>\u00a0 The 17th<\/sup>, along with the 148th<\/sup>, was American in personnel, but stationed on the British Front and under the tactical command of the R.A.F. until late in the war. Frost was appointed deputy commander of C Flight (Hamilton was commander).18<\/a>\u00a0 After about three weeks of getting to know their equipment and their territory while working on formation flying (and crossing the lines, despite R.A.F. regulations), the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0flew their first offensive patrol on July 15, 1918; they began escorting DH.9 bombers into German occupied territory on July 20, 1918.19<\/a>\u00a0 Frost served as commander of C flight on this day, as Hamilton was on leave.20<\/a><\/p>\n

During late July and early August 1918 plans for an attack on the large enemy aerodrome at Varsenare, a few miles west of Bruges, were being made, and the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0Aero joined R.A.F. squadrons in this successful mission on August 13, 1918. In early August, Frost took his allotted two weeks leave from the squadron, and this would account for his name being absent from accounts of the raid.21<\/a><\/p>\n

\"A

On August 17, 1918, the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0moved south from Petite Synthe to Auxi-le-Ch\u00e2teau northwest of Doullens.22<\/a>\u00a0 As part of the British drive towards Cambrai, they were again to escort R.A.F. bombers, but also to do their own bombing and strafing. On August 24, 1918, Frost participated in the raid during which Hamilton went missing. Frost, flying Camel C141 at about 1500 feet dropped bombs and fired rounds at transport near Qu\u00e9ant (about ten miles west of Cambrai); he went out on a further bombing mission later that day.23<\/a><\/p>\n

Frost was informally appointed commander of C flight to replace Hamilton pending approval from headquarters. On the first sortie the day after Hamilton had gone missing, Samuel Baltz Eckert, the C.O. of the 17th, led the flight; he gave the leadership to Frost when the squadron went over the lines in the evening.24<\/a><\/p>\n

In the afternoon of the next day (August 26, 1918), despite bad weather and strong east winds, and apparently unaware that the Germans had moved in air squadrons to support their troop withdrawal, \u201cthe colonel of the wing took it upon himself to send [planes of the 148th<\/sup>\u00a0Squadron] out on another ground straffing expedition.\u201d25<\/a>\u00a0 On learning that pilots of the 148th<\/sup>\u00a0had gotten into trouble east of Bapaume, planes from the 17th<\/sup>, including Camel C141 flown by Frost, went out to assist them and ended up in a trap, severely outnumbered by enemy aircraft. Henshaw records that Frost was \u201cseen in combat with 5 Fokker DVIIs e[ast of] Bapaume over Sh57C.E. 5-30pm.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0other E[nemy] A[ircraft] then joined fighting.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u201d26<\/a>\u00a0 Squadron historian Frederick Mortimer Clapp\u2019s operations summary for that day reads: \u201c1st<\/sup>\u00a0Lieuts. William D. Tipton; Henry B. Frost; 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0Lieuts. Robert M. Todd; Harry H. Jackson Jr.; Howard P. Bittinger and 1st<\/sup>\u00a0Lieut. Laurence \u2018missing\u2019 from O[ffensive] P[atrol].\u201d27<\/a><\/p>\n

Tipton, taken prisoner, at some point sent a postcard with sketchy notes of the aftermath of the August 26, 1918, aerial battle, including the notation \u201cFrost, severely wounded.\u201d28<\/a>\u00a0 For a time it was thought that Frost was a prisoner of war, and he was reported as such.29<\/a>\u00a0 Eventually, however, his death was confirmed. According to his fellow pilot, Robert Miles Todd, who had been taken prisoner, Frost succumbed to injuries the evening of the 26th<\/sup>.30<\/a>\u00a0 Todd\u2019s account is corroborated by information that Frederick W. Zinn, who devoted much effort to locating missing airman, was able to discover in an official German record. In a memo dated April 19, 1919, Zinn passed on a translation of the record to Frost\u2019s sister Josephine Clifford Frost. \u201cLt. Engl. Aviator (American) died August 26, \u201918 at the main dressing-station in Boursiers [sic<\/i>; sc. Boursies], fracture of left & right lower thigh, hemorrhage left side, wound on the left cheek & left eye and hurt internally. Buried at Boursiers [sic<\/em>]in the Military cemetery (on the road Cambrai-Bapaume) single grave No. 158.\u201d31<\/a><\/p>\n

An R.A.F. casualty card for Frost has a note (undated) indicating that Frost\u2019s remains were removed from the Boursies Communal Cemetery, German Extension, and reburied in the Achiet-le-Grand Communal Cemetery Extension (Achiet-le-Grand is about eleven miles due south of Arras).32<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1920 Josephine Frost travelled to Europe to visit her brother\u2019s grave.33<\/a>\u00a0 In 1921, his body was brought home and he was reburied in the family plot in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Arlington, Massachusetts.34<\/a>\u00a0 He was an only son; neither of his sisters married, so he was the last of his line.35<\/a><\/p>\n
