John Thomas Hadlow was born in Kent around 1873. He married Ellen McDonnell at St. Alphege’s Church, Canterbury, on 15 October 1905, and attested at Sandwich for service with the 82nd Field Ambulance (2nd Home Counties), Royal Army Medical Corps, on 17 September 1914. Sent to France aboard the S.S. Kingstonian on 22 December 1914, Hadlow served as part of the 27th Division which was largely composed of regular infantry units returned from India, Hong Kong and Canada. The Division saw considerable action at St-Eloi, Gravenstafel, St. Julien, Frezenburg, and Bellewaerde from 24-25 May 1915, with Hadlow’s Field Ambulance likely extremely busy as part of the casualty evacuation chain.
Raised Lance Corporal 14 March 1915, and employed in ‘general duty and bearer’, Hadlow’s Army Service Record notes a number of indiscretions. These included a severe reprimand for striking a Private and further brushes with the military authorities for failure to carry out an order. Transferred to Salonika on 12 December 1915, Hadlow suffered a short bout of malaria, but recovered to be appointed Acting Lance Sergeant on 15 August 1917 and Acting Sergeant on 27 August 1918.
Albert T. Hadlow was born in Ramsgate and originally attested at Canterbury for the Royal Field Artillery. Transferred to the 1st Battalion, Highland Light Infantry, he served during the Great War on the Western Front from 1 December 1914, and died of wounds on 26 October 1915. He is buried in La Gorgue Communal Cemetery, France.
