192684
Lance Corporal Joseph Henry Hills MM and 2 Clasps
British Army 1st Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers
from:Battersea
My Grandfather was an orphan and went straight from the orphanage to the army. He was born in 1898 and was therefore to young to fight at the beginning of the war. I do not know very much about his active service other than the dates of his citations for the Military Medal. The first was 21st October 1918, the second was 13th March 1919 and the last was on the 17th June 1919. I believe that the last was awarded for action with the BEF in Archangel fighting for the White Russians. I believe that my Grandfather is the only member of the Royal Scots Fusiliers to have been awarded 2 clasps to the Military Medal.
