HADLEY

Peyton Sheldon

Captain. Born 27 March 1895, 1st son of William Sheldon Hadley (Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge) and Edith, his wife, of The Master's Lodge, Pembroke College, and Heacham, Norfolk. He was at Charterhouse [B] 1909 - 1914, where he was a good scholar and an outstanding sportsman. He won a place at Pembroke College, Cambridge but shortly after the declaration of war he took a commission in the Northamptonshire Regiment, joining 7th Bn. [This was a sportsman’s battalion raised by the Northampton Rugby international Edgar Mobbs, who was later himself Battalion Commander and died at Passchendaele.] He won the M.C. In the autumn of 1918 he was seriously wounded and was invalided home to the Central Military Hospital, Eastbourne. Here on 25 October 1918 he died of pandemic influenza. There were about a dozen other influenza deaths at the hospital October - December that year, including 2 nurses. His grave is in the north-east part of St. Mary’s churchyard, Heacham, North Norfolk. He lies under a private stone, bearing inset in bronze the sword of sacrifice and the military cross. His parents are buried next to him.

HEACHAM
THE LATE CAPTAIN HADLEY.

Quite a gloom was cast over the village and the greatest sympathy was expressed by all when the sad news came to hand, at the end of last week, that Captain Peyton Sheldon Hadley, M.C., elder son of the Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge, and Mrs. Hadley (of The Lodge, Pembroke College. Cambridge. and of Shallcross, Heacham) had fallen a victim to septic pneumonia following influenza, while convalescing at Eastbourne, on Friday, at the early age of 23. Additional pathos is added to the tragic occurrence by the fact that his younger brother is now lying seriously wounded in France. Capt. Hadley was educated at St. Ronan's, West Worthing (Mr. S. S. Harris) and at Charterhonse (Mr. F. Dames Longworth), where he was in the Sixth Form and was a member of the cricket and football elevens, and won distinction as a runner. He was to have begun residence at Pembroke College. Cambridge, in October 1914, but on the outbreak of war he acceoted a commission in the Northampton Regiment. In France he gained distinction and the Military Cross as a leader of bombing attacks, in which he displayed the utmost daring. He was twice severely wounded, first on the Somme in 1916, and again on the 26th March last. On recovering from his first wound he was appointed to an Officer's Cadet Battalion at Cambridge. but at his own earnest desire he went out again to the front, where he served until he received his second wound in March last. On leaving hospital his health was far from being completely re-established. and he was sent to convalesce at Eastboune, where he fell victim to influenza and septic pneumonia as stated.

The remains arrived at Headcham on Monday and were conveyed by men of a locally stationed regiment to the parish church, where they rested until noon of the following day, when the funeral took place. This was of a military character, the military arrangements being carried out by the colonel and officers of a regiment now stationed in the locality. A guard of honour of the regiment was present, as were also the pipers (under the leadership of Bugle-Major Woods), and the quaint and mourneful tone of an old Irish lament from the pipes honoured the dead officer as his remains were carried from the church to the grave.

The mourners present were the Master of Pembroke and Mrs. Hadley (parents). Mrs. Reginald Appach (aunt), Mr. J. M. Dodds. Fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge (godfather), and Mrs. Herring. of Narborough.

A large number of vi!lagers and others were present and we understand that many were absent through being unaware of the hour of the funeral. Among those present were Col. L. G. Oliver, Mr. C. E. Strachan, Mr. James Jackson, Mrs. Cockburn Stewart, the Rev. W. A. and Mrs. Day, Mrs. Clement R. Ingleby, the Misses Black, Mrs. Hill, Mr. C. B. L. and Miss Tylecote. Mr. and Mrs. W. Clarke, Mr. and Mr. C. Lawson, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. N. Rolfe, Mrs. Martin ffolkes. Miss Jarvis, Mrs. R. T. Gunther, Mr. and Mrs. G. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. W. Perfitt. the Misses Spencer. the Misses Beck and Miss Kvlleberg, Miss Spurrell. Mrs. Brevitt, Mrs. J. E. Hodgett, Mr. and Mrs. R. Pull. Mr. and Mrs. Lowerison, Mr. and Miss Suter, Miss Jessie Spencer and Miss Foulsham. Captain H. B. Jones, M.C., Wiltshire Regiment, attended to represent the command depot at Eastbourne, and Pte. E. Graver, Northamptonshire Regiment (the deceased's regiment) on furlough in the village, was also present,

As many members of the choir as could be present attended and Mr. Suter rendered the music with the sympathy which invariably accompanies his playing: and in the voluntary which was given at the end. "My ain folk." played by request, he bore eloquent testimony to the loyalty which one of Captain Hadley's predominant chnractiristics.

*Captain Hadley was a member of choir and always assisted in the church music when at home. He had considerable ability, a rich base voice, and as recently as last Christnas sans solos in the Christmas music. While the large congregation was assembling Mr. Suter plated "O for the wings of a dove" and "O rest in the Lord" (Mendelssohn) and after the lesson, which was impressively read by Mr. C. W. N. Rolfe, the congregation stood while the grand theme of Handel's Dead March from "Saut" pealed forth from the organ. Psalm 39 was sung to a double chant by Turle, and after the lesson the hymn "The saints of God, their conflict past," found a place in the service.

The Rev. G. T. Thompson(vicar) most sympathetically and impressive!y rendered the rest of the service, and at the usual services on Sundav he made touching reference to the sad event, and appropriate hymns were sung.

The grave which is near that of the late Lieut. A. B. Thorne, R.A.F., was draped with purple and chrysanthemums. After the Blessing three farewell volleys were fired and the Last Post, sounded by five buglers, bade "goodbye" to the departed.

Flowers and wreaths, in spite of the notice to the contrary, were sent in great profiusion. Many of these were placed, recalling the sad occasion. in the chapel of Pembroke College. Among those that covered the spot where he lies there were:—"From his father mother ard brother." "Mrs. Cockburn Stewart, 'For he has won and now for ever wears, the spotless flower of a hero's life.' With tender sympathy." "In loving memory of dear Peyton, from Ena." "To a dear friend, with the heartfelt sympathy of S. P. Ora." "A small tribute of the deepest sympathy, from Reginald.' "With affectionate sympathy and regret, from Mrs. Strachan and Agneta." "With sincere sympathy and deep regret, from Hurn and Sarah." "Loving sympathy, from the Rev. William, Mrs. and Miss Day." "In most affectionate remembrance, Mr. and Miss Tylecote." "With deepest sympathy, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman." "With love, from Mrs. Martin ffolkes." "In loving memory of dear Peyton, from Arnold." "In memory of dear Master Peyton, who was loved by us all. Eva." "From the Fridhem children." "With deep sympathy, from two old friends of his mother, Miss Beck and Miss Kvlleberg." "With much love and smoothy, from Alice and Edward Browne." "In proud and loving memory of my dear nephew. Miss Hadley." "Loving sympathy, Mr. and Mrs. Neville Rolfe." "For Peyton, with love and tender thoughts, from Jack, Gordon, Rosamund and Dick Thorne." "In memory of Capt. P. S. Hadley, M.C., Northamptonshire Regiment, from the officers of the Officers' Command Depot, Eastbourne." "With very deepest sympathy, from Mrs. herring and Lady Seale."—One of the wreaths placed in Pem,broke College Chapel is of bay and laurel leaves and bears the inscription, "In memory of a gallant English gentleman."

LIEUTENANT (temp.) JOHN HARLEY, 13th (SERVICE) BATTN. THE WORCESTERSHIRE REGIMENT, only son of John Harley, M.D. Lond., F.R.C.P., of Beedings, Pulborough, Sussex, was born on the 2nd January, 1880, at 39, Brook Street, Grosvenor Square, London, W. He was educated at Charterhouse and Trinity College, Oxford, where he proceeded to his M.A. degree, and he was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. He was called to the Bar, but did not practise, devoting himself to work on the Historical Manuscript Commission at the Record Office, and he sent off the last proofs of the work on which he was engaged while on his way to the front.

He joined the Army solely for the war, enlisting in the Artists' Rifles a month after its outbreak, and he received his commission as Temporary Lieutenant in the 13th Battalion, Worcestershire Regiment, in February, 1915.

The Officer Commanding the 1st Battalion, King's Own Scottish Borderers, forming part of the XXIXth Division, to which he was attached, wrote: "Your son was in command of the platoon in the right company of the first line to advance against the enemy's trenches, and I regret to say that after gallantly leading his men out of the trenches he was not able to live in the very heavy fire that was brought to bear upon the advancing troops. His body was buried, probably near where he fell.

The following lines (published by desire of his father), applicable indeed to many others who have died for their country, are truly so to the subject of this memoir :

"Firm in friendship, just and pure in life,
Seeking truth and peace, he shunned all strife,
'Till hell belched forth its agents to destroy
What God and man had wrought to beautify,
And drenched fair homes and fields with human blood;
T'was then his righteous spirit rose in flood
With quick and deep resolve to do his best.
He gave a worthy life, a life now blest."

CAPTAIN HOWARD TOMLIN HUNTER, 6th BATTN. (TERRIT.) NORTHUMBERLAND FUSILIERS, who was the younger son of Edward Wentworth, Gosforth, Northumberland, was born on the 1st October, 1888, at Newcastle-on-Tyne.

He was educated at Aysgarth School, and Charterhouse. Afterwards he entered Durham University, and graduated M.B., B.S., in 1910, continuing his post-graduate studies in surgery at the Royal Infirmary, Newcastle-on-Tyne, St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, and in Vienna. In 1906 he was gazetted 2nd Lieutenant, and joined the 3rd Volunteer Battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers, becoming Captain in January, 1912. He went to the front in Flanders with his battalion, and fell in action on the 26th April, 1915, near St. Julien, the same day as his Captain G. E. Hunter, also 6th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, lost his life.

The following account of the circumstances attending Capatin H. T. Hunter's death was published by his College Gazette: "He led his men through a cross-fire of machine guns and shrapnel, trying to reach the German trenches by a series of rushes. When close to his objective he was struck in the leg, 'but stuck to his job, gamely cheering on his men.' We can imagine his bitter disappointment when he had to fall out so near to the end of his task. While being to the rear he was struck again in the chest, and almost immediately dropped dead."

Lieutenant Hutton was drowned while attempting to swim across the River Aisne with a signal cable on the 20th September, 1914.

Extract from The Peterborough and Hunts Standard - 10 October 1914, page 6:

DROWNED IN THE AISNE

THE LATE LIEUT. G. A. HUTTON, R.E.

Lieut. George Adolph Hutton, R.E. who was drowned on Sunday, September 29th, whuilst attemping to swim across the River Aisne with a signal cable to open up fresh telephone communication with the north bank, was the grandson of the late Rev. Thomas Hutton, rector of Stilton, and a great nephew of the Rev. C.I. Gibbon, late of Lutton.

Lieut. Hutton was born in Nottignham on Sunday, May 10th, 1891. He was educated at Charterhouse, where he gained many distinctions, including a senior school scholarship and an exhibition on leaving. From Charterhouse he passed direct into the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, being placed fifth in the list, and on completing his time there passed out fourth. He was gazetted to the Royal Engineers on Deceber 23rd, 1910, and after the usual two years course at the Military Enginerring School at Chatham was promoted to lieutenant on December 21st 1912, and was attached to the 3rd Signal Company of the Royal Engineers stationed at Bulford Camp on Salsibury Plain.

He proceeded to France with the 3rd Divison of the British Expeditionary Force about the middle of August, and was present during all the fighting that took place from the battle of Mons to the time of his death. The only letter received from him ended by saying “I ave never felt better in my life.” It will be a long time before George Hutton is forgotten by those who knew him. From an early age he especially enddeared himself to his elders by hiis affectionate and manly ways and his fearless disposition. Endowed with great intellectual capacity and an extraordinary rapid preception he retained many childlike traits to the last. His sympathy with all animals was strangely penetrating. A great lover of horses and dogs, perhaps the greatest sorrow of his life was the loss of a favourite Great Dane, When quite a small boy he followed the Quorn Hounds on his pony, and later developed into a fine and fearless rider, and a good horsemaster : he will be missed by many in the Quorn country.

At Bluford he was never happier than when galloping over the Wiltshire Downs with several dogs at his heels or when driving a tandem with a dog seated by his side, Whilst at Chatham he learnt to sail a boat, and spent a good deal of his spare time on the Medway and TYhames Estuary, and had more than one adventurous cruise in the North Sea. The manner in which he met his death was entirely characteristic, and although to many his act seems heroic it would never have occurred to him that he was doing anyhting out of the way. He was not physically very strong, but was tenacious of purpose, and had considerable staying power, and he was possesed of a dauntless spirit. To an inner circle of old and young his loyalty and affection will be a cherished memory.
