Ronald Rosenthall

Aircraftman 2nd Class Ronald Rosenthall was an English airman of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve who died during the Second World War.
He was born in Sculcoates, the son of Polish-born parents Isadore and Pnina Rosenthall (née Schultz). His father was a bookmaker who founded Rossy Brothers in Hull.
Aged 20, Rosenthall died on 21 October 1941 along with eight other airmen when the bus he was travelling in collided with a broken down lorry at 11pm and caught fire. The airmen had been on a night out in Cheltenham and were returning to their base at RAF Little Rissington. A verdict of accidental death was returned by an inquest jury, who believed a more experienced driver ought to have been at the wheel. Although the coroner agreed with the accidental death judgement, he affirmed that no blame should be placed on the driver.Little Rissington Churchyard, chippingnortonbritishlegion.com.

He is buried in Hull Western Synagogue Cemetery. His brother, Cyril, a gunner in the Royal Artillery, had died in February 1941.
