Thomas Gordon Nettleton was a soldier in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II who, unfortunately, passed away during a training exercise near Bagotville, Quebec. He was born on February 28, 1924, in Ottawa and grew up at 13 Linden Terrace. He was 5'10½", with hazel eyes and brown hair. He had no scars or marks and had perfect vision. His parents were George Gordon Nettleton and Anna Irene (Shore) Nettleton. For elementary school, he attended Hopewell Public School and later went to Glebe Collegiate High School for two years before switching to Ottawa Technical School for the remaining two years. In a letter of recommendation from his school principal at Ottawa Technical School, it was stated that Nettleton had good standing in every respect, both academically and in the various shops. He had four siblings: an older brother and sister, James Shore Nettleton and Frances Anna Nettleton, and two younger brothers, Douglas Conn Nettleton and George Harvey John Nettleton. Thomas Gordon Nettleton was known as a prominent junior athlete, particularly in golf and skiing, but enjoyed playing and watching most sports.
