Officer's Death

LIEUT. E. P. HAWLEY

It is with very deep regret that we record the announcement of the death in action of Lieut. Eric Peter Hawley, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Hawley, of Market-square, Winslow.

Aged 25, Lieut. Hawley was educated at Wellingborough School and held an appointment with the Dominion Dairy Company at Aylesbury, joining the Territorials in March 1939. He has been attached to the General Forces since Sept. 1939 and was serving in the 1st Bn. Oxford and Bucks L.I. on the Western Front. He was wounded in Normandy in July 1944 and rejoined his regiment in October of the same year and was killed in action on April 13th, 1945. He had been appointed O.C. Carriers.

In 1942 he married Miss Suzette Walters, of Kettering and he leaves twin daughters, Carol and Wendy who were born in March 1944. The news of the death of this popular and well-known young Winslow officer has caused expressions of profound sorrow in Winslow and of deep sympathy with the parents and young widow and family
