Remember when Frederick Luke, V C , returns to war

FREDERICK Luke, the popular janitor at Glasgow High School, made the news in July 1941 when it was announced that he had been accepted for volunteer service with the RAF. It was reported that he hoped to start training within a few days for the defence of British aerodromes. His son, Fred, was an air-gunner with the RAF. Luke was no ordinary soldier; he had, after all, been awarded a Victoria Cross (pictured) for his heroics in the Great War. “Sergeant Luke,” recollected the Glasgow Herald said in 1941, “was decorated when he galloped through an inferno of shell and fire to save two guns of his battery of the Royal Field Artillery. Another team making the attempt was wiped out. Luke got through and brought the guns to safety.”
