THOMAS ELDRED CURWEN HAWORTH (1905-1908 : 21), Second Lieutenant in the Essex Regiment, only son of the late Henry Eldred Haworth of Teddington, and of Mrs Haworth of West Norwood, was a member of the School House.  From here he went to King’s College School, Wimbledon, and some months before the war broke out he had joined the Honourable Artillery Company, the oldest volunteer unit in the kingdom.  When the great call came he volunteered for foreign service at once, and in December 1914 he was already in France.  He went through the first battle of Ypres and was wounded in the following July.  Then came a short period of home service and appointment to a commission in the Essex Regiment.  For some time he acted as Signalling Officer to his battalion, and on December 2nd he was so severely wounded that he died the same day.  He was buried in the military cemetery at Rocquigny Road near Bapaume.  “He was a most charming boy and was invaluable to the company during the attack.  He will be a great loss to the battalion” – this is the Commanding Officer’s high tribute.
