Extract from The Peterborough and Hunts Standard - 10 October 1914, page 6:

DROWNED IN THE AISNE

THE LATE LIEUT. G. A. HUTTON, R.E.

Lieut. George Adolph Hutton, R.E. who was drowned on Sunday, September 29th, whuilst attemping to swim across the River Aisne with a signal cable to open up fresh telephone communication with the north bank, was the grandson of the late Rev. Thomas Hutton, rector of Stilton, and a great nephew of the Rev. C.I. Gibbon, late of Lutton.

Lieut. Hutton was born in Nottignham on Sunday, May 10th, 1891. He was educated at Charterhouse, where he gained many distinctions, including a senior school scholarship and an exhibition on leaving. From Charterhouse he passed direct into the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, being placed fifth in the list, and on completing his time there passed out fourth. He was gazetted to the Royal Engineers on Deceber 23rd, 1910, and after the usual two years course at the Military Enginerring School at Chatham was promoted to lieutenant on December 21st 1912, and was attached to the 3rd Signal Company of the Royal Engineers stationed at Bulford Camp on Salsibury Plain.

He proceeded to France with the 3rd Divison of the British Expeditionary Force about the middle of August, and was present during all the fighting that took place from the battle of Mons to the time of his death. The only letter received from him ended by saying “I ave never felt better in my life.” It will be a long time before George Hutton is forgotten by those who knew him. From an early age he especially enddeared himself to his elders by hiis affectionate and manly ways and his fearless disposition. Endowed with great intellectual capacity and an extraordinary rapid preception he retained many childlike traits to the last. His sympathy with all animals was strangely penetrating. A great lover of horses and dogs, perhaps the greatest sorrow of his life was the loss of a favourite Great Dane, When quite a small boy he followed the Quorn Hounds on his pony, and later developed into a fine and fearless rider, and a good horsemaster : he will be missed by many in the Quorn country.

At Bluford he was never happier than when galloping over the Wiltshire Downs with several dogs at his heels or when driving a tandem with a dog seated by his side, Whilst at Chatham he learnt to sail a boat, and spent a good deal of his spare time on the Medway and TYhames Estuary, and had more than one adventurous cruise in the North Sea. The manner in which he met his death was entirely characteristic, and although to many his act seems heroic it would never have occurred to him that he was doing anyhting out of the way. He was not physically very strong, but was tenacious of purpose, and had considerable staying power, and he was possesed of a dauntless spirit. To an inner circle of old and young his loyalty and affection will be a cherished memory.
