  In 1911 Brigadier General Henderson was aged 48. He had been married to Henrietta Caroline for 15 years and they had had 2 children: Ian Henry David in 1896 and Angela Margaret in 1906. He was living in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.
  
  His Wikipedia page is here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Henderson_(British_Army_officer)

• Mark Booker said:

  Hugh Trenchard, commonly regarded as the founder of the RAF, said that David Henderson was the true founder of the RAF. His work in the field and with the Smuts report backs up Trenchards belief. He should not be forgotten.
