Canford Cliffs Crash Inquest
Verdict

A verdict of “Accidental death” was returned at the inquest held by the Poole Coroner (Mr. .J. W. Miller), on Friday on Lieut. John Peter Hadrill (22), of Pinner, Middlesex. He was fatally injured when motor cycling along Canford Cliffs-road as the result of a collision with an Army truck on Wednesday, last week.

Capt. .Anthony Clive Williams gave evidence of identification. He said Lieut. Hadrill was an experienced and careful motor cyclist.

Dr. Hatfield said the upper part of the body was very badly burned and death was probably due to shock from those injuries.

Gnr. F. J. Fear, driver of the Army truck involved in the collision, said he was driving along Canford Cliffs-road at about 10 or 12 miles on hour towards Parkstone. An approaching car passed him at nominal speed. He then saw a sheet of flame beside him and there was a wrench to the driving wheel which caused the lorry to go to the opposite side of the road. He then saw a blazing motor cycle jammed between the front wheels of the lorry and the kerb. He helped to get the man clear.

Dr. F. G. Bennett, Maxwell-road, Canford Cliffs, said he was driving from Parkstone towards his home. He saw the Army lorry coming towards him at normal speed and they were passing when an Army motor cyclist appeared, striking witness's car on the off-side, breaking the buffer, axle and steering gear. He then saw some flames behind his car and he got out to go to the assistance of the man.

The Coroner, returning the verdict of “Accidental death,” said that in his opinion no fault was attributable to either the driver of the motor car or the Army lorry.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN
R. H. B. HERBERT
GRANDSON OF A FORMER
VICAR OF BURNTWOOD

The death has occurred in hospital in South Africa of Captain Richard Henry Brian Herbert, elder son of the Rev. J. H. and Mrs. Herbert, The Rectory, Brierley Hill, Staffs., a grandson of the late Rev. Richard Weston, vicar of Burntwood from 1866 to 1922.

Captain Herbert was born at the Vicarage on March 12th, 1919, in the absence of his father on service with the Royal Field Artillery. He was educated at Seaford College and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was reading for holy orders on the outbreak of the present war. Under the Government ruling, as a theological student he was exempt from military service, but he felt it to be his duty to serve his country, and so after serving in the Cambridge University C.T.C. he enlisted in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry and was later gazetted to the 1st Battalion in December, 1940.

After serving on the east coast for about a year, and in response to his request for service abroad, he was posted to the Gold Coast, where he was very successful with his native troops, being promoted captain in October, 1942. He had Just commenced his first leave in South Africa where he died in hospital undergoing an operation.

Of a courageous and attractive disposition, Captain Herbert was one who might have been expected to be of great value in the post-war world. The loss to his family is irreparable, and to his host of friends very great indeed.
