  • Notes 
    • There is a marriage for a Sidney Hawkey to Julia M. Moore in Camberwell, for the September quarter of 1913 vol 1d p 1826.

      And a birth in Jun 1914 quarter for Sidney J Hawkey, mother's maiden name 'Moore' in Marylebone, vol 1a p 951.

      Sidney was a private (number 9713) in the Duke of Cornwall?s Light Infantry 2nd Batalion. He died of wounds.

      This information is also contained in the find my past website entry: 4.8.14 Hong Kong. Arrived in England early Nov. 1914 and to 82nd Bde. 27th Div. at Winchester. 21.12.14 landed at Havre. 27.11.15 embarked at Marseilles for Salonika. Arriving 5 Dec. 30.9.18 82nd Bde. 27th Div. Macedonia; Dedeli, N.W. of Lake Doiran.

      I am not sure if the 4.8.14 is the date of enlisting or of the formation of the duke of cornwall?s light infantry second battalion. If the former, how did Sidney get to Hong Kong in the first place? Presumably stationed there with his battalion. At the 1911 census, Sidney is stationed at the Gravesend Barracks which includes the Military Hospital and Gravesend and Milton Union Workhouse. He is 18 and single.
