World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte. Wallace Hedge
British Army 7th Btn. Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers
from:Kilburn, London, England

2nd Lt. Frederick William Hedges VC.
British Army 6th Btn. Bedfordshire Regiment
from:Godmanchester, Huntingdonshire.
Pte. John Hedges
British Army 8th Btn. East Surrey Regiment
from:Kingston on Thames
John Hedges was my grandfather. All I know is that he served with the 8th East Surrey Regiment. We always had a photo of him in uniform holding two grey horses by the reins. We do know he was in France on the Somme, also that he was gassed at some point. Records show he suffered afterwards from it. We think maybe he took part in the football advance (again, not confirmed). Unfortunately, he died during WW2 of peritonitis (not in service). As far as I know, he never discussed the war, and although he has two survivors still alive, little is known. The picture of him is being hunted down as I write this and, if found, could be of significance.

2Lt. Thomas George Grandon Heenan
British Army 4th Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers
from:Belfast
(d.21st March 1918)
Born in Belfast, Ireland in 1892, Thomas Heenan was the son of William Patrick Heenan, a civil servant with the Board of Trade, and his wife Kathleen Mary (nee Grandon). Thomas was working as a journalist in Belfast at the time of the 1911 census but was then admitted to the Civil Service and followed his father into the Board of Trade.
In June 1915 he was commissioned as a temporary Second Lieutenant in the 4th Battalion and attached to the 1st Battalion of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. He served in France until his death on the Somme during the Second Somme Offensive. This is officially recorded as 21st of March 1918 but is not a definitive date since he had been reported missing and this is date when it seems the Army determined he could not be located and was presumed dead. According to Army records he was 23 years old.
The day of his death was marked by a heavy and sustained attack by the German forces. At the end of an assault lasting five hours which involved gas and explosives, the 1st Batallion of the Fusiliers retreated. Six hundred soldiers were missing, leaving the battalion with only five officers and ninety men.
He is commemorated on the Pozieres Memorial in France. He was awarded posthumously the British Medal and the Victory Medal. His parents were living at 42 Derwent Road, Stoneycroft, Liverpool at the time of his death. The family subsequently returned to Ireland where William Heenan died in County Cork in October 1932 and his wife Kathleen a few months later, in December 1932. They had no living children.

(d.11th Oct 1916)
Pte. Joseph Heggadon
British Army 3rd Btn. Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry
from:Petrockstowe
(d.5th June 1917)
I came across Joseph Heggadon's grave which was scruffy and uncared for in the Freshwater All Saints churchyard and wondered who he was and why he was buried here.
Google searches provided the information and although he is on the Petrockstowe War Memorial he has now also been remembered at his permanent resting place. He was, like so many, only 19.
Coolie Chi Mming Hei
Chinese Labour Corps
from:China
(d.21st Feb 1920)
C.M Hei served with the Chinese Labour Corps. He was executed for murder on 21st February 1920 and is buried in St Sever Cemetery Estension, Rouen, France. He and another Coolie were convicted for wounding two French prostitutes and the murder of a British Army sergeant at a brothel near Le Havre.
Private Frederick Hele
British Army Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:27 Ruston Street London
My grandfather Fred Hele was in the KRRC in 1915 as i have a photo of him in his uniform with his wife and young son who was a baby at the time. He was born on 11th December 1886. His medal card also shows he was awarded a Silver War Badge (SWB)List M/1410 which i think i still have at least i have two SWB both with different reference numbers on, so one could be his. I don't know if you can help but i am trying to find out why he was given the SWB but do not know which Battalion/Unit he was in. If I can find this out then I may be able to unravel his story through War Diaries. Would you know where i may be able to find out which Battalion/unit he fought with. Many thanks for any help you can give. John Hele

The 15th Btn DLI was involved in trench warfare in the Ridge Wood area near Ypres on 6th of Oct 1917. Pte. Charles Helmrich has no named grave. His name is inscribed on the memorial wall at Tyne Cot.
There is a family story that one day in October 1917 William Helmrich was moving away from the trenches with his Company. He met his brother Charles Helmrich on the road. Charles' Company was going to the trenches. The two brothers shook hands and spoke for a moment before going on their way. William was a private in the Northumberland Fusiliers and Charles was fighting in the Durham Light Infantry. A third brother, George Frederick Helmrich, was also fighting in the Seaforth Highlanders Regiment. It was the last time the two brothers saw each other as a few days later Charles was killed.
