Frederick William Hasluck (16 February 1878 – 22 February 1920)[1] was an English antiquarian, historian, and archaeologist.

Hasluck was educated at

Richard M. Dawkins
.

In 1913, being Assistant Director (1911–15) and Librarian (1906–15) of the British School in Athens, Hasluck married

Balkans
.

Hasluck's work was cut short by a combination of factors, one of which was his becoming the target of Alan John Bayard Wace, an erstwhile colleague in Athens, who appears to have regarded Hasluck a potential rival. Returning to London, having prepared the ground by becoming part of the managing committee, Wace gained the post of Director of the School and, possibly motivated also by an animosity toward Mrs. Hasluck, asked London to sack Hasluck. This they did. The Haslucks stayed in Athens working at the British Legation and assisted British wartime intelligence operations.[8] In 1916 Margaret accompanied her husband to Switzerland, where he entered a tuberculosis sanatorium. He died four years later on 22 February 1920.
