Lieutenant Roger Bolton Hay MC (1895 – 17 July 1917) was a British World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories.
[1] He was the youngest of three sons born to The Reverend Reynell Wreford Hay, rector of Garsdon and Lea in Wiltshire,[2] and his wife Margaret Alice (née Bolton).
[7] He was confirmed in his rank on 19 November,[8] and received orders sending him into the front lines in July 1915, but a motor-cycling accident delayed his departure until February 1916.
[10] Hay began his victory string during Bloody April, taking a share with Fred Holliday, Anthony Wall, Ernest Moore, and William Winkler in the shooting down of an Albatros D.III over Vimy on the 23rd, and another over Cagnicourt the following day.
Hay had two further solo victories, destroying another D.III over Etaing on 15 June, and driving down a fourth over Gistel on 12 July.
