  • Notes 
    • Killed in WW1.


      HADDOCK, Tpr Wm, 4th, Waikato, Squadron, Auckland Mounted Rifles, who was
      killed in action on June 17, was the third son of the late Mr John Haddock
      of Pratt St, Auckland. He was a farmer of Karamu, Waikato and prior to the
      outbreak of the war was the secretary of the Karamu branch of the Farmers'
      Union. [AWN 08.07.1915]

      HADDOCK, Private William, Field Ambulance - His death in action on August 9
      was reported some weeks ago. A letter has now been received by his father
      Mr W J Haddock, from Lieutenant Colonel C E Thomas, officer commanding the
      Mounted Field Ambulance, who was himself killed on September 4. Writing
      from Chalk Hill, Anzac on August 11, Lt Col Thomas said "I was very sorry to
      lose Pte Haddock. The poor fellow was sitting outside his 'dug-out' resting
      after some very strenuous and dangerous stretcher-bearing work, when a
      bullet went right through his chest. He fell forward, then rolled on his
      side and said 'I'm done' and died. He was a very good lad and a favourite
      amongst the men. Please accept my sympathy in your loss. I have a
      photograph of the spot where we buried him and have notified the authorities
      of the exact spot on the map. It may be many months before I will be able
      to send you a photograph.' [AWN 28.10.1915] [1]
