“Lieutenant Hubert Philip Solomon, R.F.C., who was killed in action on the 19th October, was born in Dunedin, and educated at Wellington College. He was well known throughout the dominion as a commercial traveller, and before enlisting in the N.Z.E.F. in 1915 had an indent agency in Christchurch. He saw service in Egypt, and going to England about October, 1916, got his commission in the R.F.C. Two months later he went to France as a pilot, and remained there until April of this year, when he was appointed instructor in night flying in England. He was killed on the night of the 10th of October while attacking a Zeppelin raiding the east of England, and was buried with military honours at Gainsborough. He has a brother, a sergeant in the Canadian Expeditionary Force.“  [Otago Daily Times , Issue 17215, 18 January 1918, Page 5]
