Biografie
Sgt. Haydon served with the Westminster Dragoons in Egypt in 1916-1917. He was wounded near Jerusalem in December 1917. In 1918 the Dragoons lost their horses, were reconstituted as a Machine-Gun regiment and redeployed to the Western Front. It was there that Haydon was killed on 20 October 1918 and eventually buried in the Harelbeke New British cemetery in Belgium.
