BIOGRAPHICAL
NOTES.
Captain
Maurice Clive Radford, D.S.O., 1st Berkshire Regiment, was educated
at Charterhouse and Sandhurst. On leaving Sandhurst he went straight
to Egypt and later to India with the 2nd Berkshire Regiment. He
was recalled when the war broke out, and joined the 1st Battalion.
He was early mentioned in dispatches and gained the D.S.O. in
June for the conspicuous bravery and resourcefulness which he
showed in going first into a gassed mine and, with help, saving
the lives of a number of men who lay there unconscious. He was
decorated, by the King on September 21st, left for the front the
same evening, and just a week later fell leading his men to an
attack.

THE
LATE CAPTAIN M. C. RADFORD
Captain
Maurice Clive Radford, D.S.O., 1st Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment,
third son of Walter T. H. Radford, of 25, Park Crescent, Portland
Place, W., was 51 years of age, educated at Charterhouse and Sandhurst.
On leaving the latter he went straight to Egypt, and later to
India with the 2nd Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment. He was
recalled when the war broke out and joined the the 1st Battalion
Royal Berkshire Regiment. He was early mentioned in dispatches
and gained D.S.O. in June for conspicuous bravery in the field
and resourcefulness. Owing to both he was the means of saving
many lives going first himself into a gassed mine, and with help
getting the unconscious men there out in safety. He was decorated
for this by the King on Tuesday, September 21st, leaving for the
front again that evening, and just a week later fell leading his
men with great courage to attack. The whole regiment was greatly
grieved at the loss of a splendid officer and real friend, and
he was beloved by all.
A
friend describes Captain Radford as one of the.finest soldiers
who ever lived.
As already stated, the King and Queen have sent message of sympathy
with Mr. and Mrs, Radford.
CAPT.
CLIVE RADFORD, D.S.O.
Recked
naught of danger, he who faced the foe,
And first braved death, in that his men should go;
Daring the mine—would ye not have so?
Fond hearts shall mourn o’er warrior kinsman gone.
Oh ! the loss! Yet Britain’s hero son
Rests full of glory, in your hearts his name.
Dimming your sorrow by his deathless fame.
