from:Ealing
(d.2nd August 1918)
Horace Hawtree was born on the 23 August 1890, the youngest of seven children of Edward and Rose Hawtree of 10 Grove Road, Acton, London. By the 1911 census he had moved away from home, he was a waiter at the YMCA at 28 Princes Square in Bayswater and lived there. In May 1914 he appears to have traveled to Philadelphia from Liverpool when he was 24 years old and was described as an engineer.
At some point he returned to the UK as he enlisted on the 15 December 1915 with 1st Battalion East Kent Regiment (The Buffs),Service No. G/12007. He described himself as a fitter living at 21 Talbot Road, Ealing. He married Amy Florence Budden on the 25 April 1917 at St James's Church, West Ealing.
He died on the 2nd of August 1918, aged 28 years and is buried in Esquelbecq Military Cemetery, Northern France. The cemetery was opened in April 1918 during the early stages of the German offensive in Flanders, when the 2nd Canadian and 3rd Australian Casualty Clearing Stations came to Esquelbecq. It was closed in September 1918. It is therefore highly probable that he died from his wounds whilst receiving treatment. He is remembered on the War Memorial, St Mary's Church, Acton, London.

William Hay volunteered for the Canadian Army in 1914, but apparently dissatisfied with the time it was taking for training, equipping etc, he transferred to the British Army and completed WW1 in the Royal Field Artillery. He seemed to have spent a long time as a Lieutenant (suggesting perhaps he had been wounded). He was awarded an MC in 1917 (Still trying to trace the citation.) Promotion came quickly after that and he ended up commanding D Battery, there is a superb formal photograph of the battery in Germany 1919 (thought to be in Cologne). He lived to a great age, largely in Montreal Canada.
