258265 Pte. Ernest Albert Hahner British Army 2nd Battalion Border Regiment from:18 Disraeli Road, Harlesden, Middlesex (d.16th May 1915) Ernest Hahner was the fifth son of Prussian/German immigrants who lived in St Pancras. The family suffered extreme prejudice as the war progressed, despite the fact their mother, and each of their twelve children had been born in London. To demonstrate his loyalty to the country, Albert Hahner Snr applied for British Naturalisation. This was granted partly on the strength of the fact he had five sons serving overseas, three in the Army and two in the RAMC. The four older brothers all survived and returned to the UK, while Ernest was killed at The Battle of Festubert seven months after he enlisted, aged 18. He has no known grave but is commemorated at Le Touret Memorial at Richebourg, France Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
