Maj Henry Bridges Harvey

Henry was born on Westbury Road in Brentwood in 1896, the son of a paint manufacturer. At the outbreak of the first world war he joined the Royal Artillery, but perhaps he had a sense of adventure as he later transferred to the Royal Flying Corps.

He returned to Brentwood between the wars, but in the second world war he was called up again and was sent to India.

After the second world war he moved to Ireland, where he died in 1961.
