William Maitland Julius Hannah<\/a> was born in Brighton to Reverend John Julius Hannah (1844 – 1931) and his wife Annie Barbara Thomson (1857 – 1907). He had four siblings. He joined the Leicestershire Regiment on 25\/03\/1896, was promoted to Lieutenant on 18\/08\/1898 and died in action on 21\/10\/1899.<\/p>\n

The first memorial plaque for William Maitland Julius Hannah<\/a> in St. Peter’s Church was unveiled in 1901 in the presence of the Archdeacon of Chichester and the Chairman of the Committee of Subscribers, Colonel Hugh J. Verrall.<\/p>\n

It was erected in honour of Lieutenant W. M. J. Hannah, the son of John Julius Hannah<\/a>, Vicar of Brighton<\/a>. W. M. J. Hannah died in the first days of the second Boer war in South Africa near Dundee on the 21\/10\/1899, when he was only 23 years old. The second Boer war lasted from the 11th<\/sup> of October 1899 to the 31st<\/sup> of May 1902.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6812″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

The English translation would read:<\/p>\n

In memory of the dearly beloved son W.M.J. Hannah, who died for his country. His ever-grieving parents dedicate this 1907.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This memorial plaque was unveiled in 1907 and is of a much more private nature, since the text mainly expresses the grief of his parents over the untimely death of their son.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
