Harry HADDEN Army Uniform
« on: Thursday 09 October 14 15:32 BST (UK) »
I cannot trace a service record for the above but have found a medal record so assume that his record is amongst the burnt records.
I attach a photo and wonder if there is anyone who can recognise the uniform.

Almost devoid of distinguishing marks but the buttons appear black, then possibly a regiment of the Rifles persuasion?

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

He may have been in one of the London Regiments (6th). Were they Rifles?

FindMyPast does have an army file for Gunner Harry Hadden, an engineer by trade, born Hornsey in 1891. Mother Mary Ann, brother Joseph, sister Beatrice, Served with Royal Field Artillery 1908-1911. Discharged medically unfit.

There's also an earlier file for his brief service with the East Surrey Regiment in 1908. Discharged by purchase.
