Lieutenant John Albert Edward Robertson Daley DFC (5 February 1898 – 8 July 1918) was a British World War I flying ace credited with six aerial victories.
[2] He enlisted on 19 January 1916 as a private in the 2nd Jamaica Battalion, British West Indies Regiment,[1] and on 6 March 1916 he was confirmed as a temporary second lieutenant.
Due to enemy submarine activity Verdala was routed to England via Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Verdala was not properly heated and the soldiers had not been issued with enough warm clothing, causing 600 cases of exposure and frostbite, and five deaths.
Between March and July 1918 he shot down five aircraft and a kite balloon,[1] but was killed in action[2] only a week after his final victory.
