The name given in this piece of "Kinkhead" is wrong.
The funeral is actually that of Flt Lt Samuel Kinkead DSO, DSC & Bar, DFC & Bar, a South African fighter ace with 33 WWI victories for the RAF.
He was killed on 12 March 1928, enabling you to alter the current date range of 1920-29.
The location of the funeral seen here is All Saints Church, Fawley, Hampshire.
