Captain Frederic Hope Laurence was a World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories.[1]
Laurence was a flight commander with 70 Squadron when he began his victory list. He was flying a newly arrived Sopwith Camel when he drove down a German two-seater on 28 July 1917 in a victory shared with his flight. Then, he drove down four Albatros D.Vs during October; his last win was shared with Frank Hobson and four other pilots.[2]
