Radlein Obituary March 16 1941. In February, 1941, as the result of an accident while on active service, Thomas Patrick John Holford, Lt., 12th Lancers. He was at Radley (Hellard's, C) from 1932 to 1935 and left young, in order to go to an Army Coach, as it had always been his ambition to get into a cavalry regiment. Though he was not much of an athlete, he was a great lover of all country pursuits and especially of hunting. In 1937 he was commissioned to the 12th Lancers (Supp. Res.), and was a lieutenant in that regiment at the time of his death.
