Leonard Hardy was the first Old Radleian to fall who had been a boy at the school when the Warden, E Gordon Selwyn, took up his post in 1913. The Warden spoke about him in Chapel: ‘The first thing which strikes me, I think, as I recall him, was that he was one whom you could always absolutely trust… pray also for this School, that God may send us many like him.’ |
