Flight Lieutenant William Henry Rhodes-Moorhouse and wife
Amalia (née
Demetriadi) at his investiture, where he received his DFC, which took place at Buckingham Palace during an air raid warning, September 3, 1940
Sadly, William was killed in action three days later in the Battle of Britain. Amalia’s brother Dick, William’s
squadronmate, had died in action on August 11th.
(On a lighter note, Amalia had been approached to screen test for the role of Scarlet O’Hara in Gone With the Wind, but declined.)
