Hardwick | Stephen Thomas | | Lieutenant | He was killed in action at Tweefontein, December 25th 1901, in the attack at dawn by General De Wet. He was the son of Phillip C Hardwick of 2 Hereford Gardens, and of Mrs Hardwick of The Rectory, Newton St Loe, Bristol. He was born April 1876, educated at Farnboro' and Eton, and entered the RFA from the 4th Battalion Middlesex Regiment June 1899, being promoted Lieutenant February 1901. In 1897-98, Lieutenant Hardwick was employed on survey work in Egypt and Sinai, under Captain Lyons, Royal Engineers. He went to South Africa February 1900, and was given command of a Pom-Pom section, for which he had been specially recommended. Lieutenant Hardwick saw much service during the war, and was constantly in action up to the time of his death. At Tweefontein, when the "sweet silence of the Christmas dawn" was broken by De Wet's attack, he rushed to his pom-pom, and working it with his own hands, fired off a few rounds, and then foreseeing that it might possibly fall into the hands of the enemy, he was endeavouring to render it useless when he was shot through the heart. He was mentioned in despatches, and was awarded the medal and four clasps, for Cape Colony, ORC, Johannesburg, and Diamond Hill. Major General Sir Leslie Rundle telegraphed his "own deep regret" at Lieutenant Hardwick's death, and added "we have lost a gallant soldier and comrade". Lieutenant Hardwick was buried at Tweefontein, and his name appears on an obelisk, erected on the spot where he worked his pom-pom, in memory of all those who fell in this action. His name is also inscribed on tablets in the Church of Bradford-on-Avon, Wilts., in the Chapel at Farnboro' School, and at All Saints, Margaret Street. A window was also placed to his memory in the Church of Newton St Loe.
