Two "old boys" of Pannal Ash College were among the recipients of military honours presented by Prince Arthur of Connaught at Leeds the other day, viz., Lieutenant Hugh Chippindale, of the Royal Air Force, who received the Military Cross, and is the third son of Mr and Mrs Arthur Chippindale, of The Avenue, Scholes, Leeds. The award was made for "conspicuous bravery in the field and for a series of daring exploits, among which was the shooting down of enemy air-planes and flying through the storm of shell fire". Another son of Mr Chippindale – Lieutenant Donald Chippindale – has also won the MC.
