| 354 | Capt. John Crosby Halahan |
| | | Captain John Crosby “Jack” Halahan was born on 28 February 1878 in
Dulwich, Camberwell, Surrey, one of six sons of Surgeon-Colonel Samuel Handy Halahan and Hannah Croucher (née Engeham).
He was educated at Dulwich College, and commenced his military career on appointment as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Dublin
Fusiliers in May 1899. Quickly witnessing active service in South Africa, where he was present in the relief of Ladysmith
operations and at Val Krantz, Pieter’s Hill and the Tugela Heights (Medal & 2 clasps), he gained advancement to
Lieutenant in February 1900.
Appointed Adjutant of the 4th Battalion in March 1907, Halahan was advanced to
Captain in June 1908 and placed on the Reserve of Officers in June 1912, following which he gained attachment to the fledgling
Royal Flying Corps and gained his Aviators Certificate on 29 October of the same year on a Grahame White Biplane at the
Grahame White School, Hendon. He was appointed a director of British Anzani Engine Company in November 1912 and later
appointed Manager of the British Deperdussin Flying School at Hendon in January 1913. At the outbreak of war, Captain Halahan
resigned his posts with G.A.C. subsidiaries and returned to active service, going to France as a pilot in No. 4 Squadron
in August 1915, flying B.E. 2s in a reconnaissance and bombing role.
Halahan departed No. 4 Squadron at the end
of the year, but returned to France as C.O. of No. 12 Squadron at Avesnes-le-Comte in 1916, as part of Twelfth Wing, III
Brigade, and subsequently commanded it throughout the Somme operations. In the following year, Halahan served as C.O. of
No. 39 and No. 78 Squadrons, while in August 1917 he was appointed Wing Commander of No. 50 Wing and, in March 1918, No.
48 Wing, most of these senior commands being on the Home Establishment. He was awarded the CBE and AFC and attained the
rank of Group Captain before being placed on the Retired List in 1942.
Group Captain John Crosby Halahan CBE,
AFC, died on 22 February 1967 in Teignmouth, Devon. |
