Notice of his award appeared in a supplement to the London Gazette of 17 December 1940.[1][2] The pair had defused many such devices together, and had just successfully defused a device in Hornchurch which was threatening an aerodrome and explosives factory when they were called to Dagenham. The bomb there was hanging from its parachute on a warehouse.[3] He is buried at Milton Cemetery, Portsmouth.[3] References1. ^{{London Gazette|issue=35018|supp=y|page=7107|date=17 December 1940}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ellingworth, Reginald Vincent}}2. ^The George Cross at Sea, 1939–45 3. ^1 Casualty details — Ellingworth, Reginald Vincent, Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
