He was invalided out in April 1900, returning again in April 1901. He then worked on the railways until he rejoined at Sevenoaks for the 1914-1918 conflict. Joseph had married Elsie Ann Cameron in the later half of 1912, they had no children.
Joseph was promoted to sergeant in November 1914. B squadron was led by Captain Francis Grenfell VC who was wounded and died. Sergeant Hussey was gassed and died on 24th May 1915. Both were originally interred in the cemetery at Vlamertinghe, Belgium. Sergeant Hussey was later reburied in the Hop Store Cemetery in Belgium. Both are commemorated at Canterbury Cathedral. Sergeant Hussey is also remembered at Waterloo Station and his name appears in the book about the Grenfell twins written by the author John Buchan of `39 Steps' fame.
Regrettably we have no photos of my great-uncle Sergeant J W Hussey. He was mentioned in dispatches on 31st of May 1915 and was posthumously awarded The Cross of St George 4th class in August 1915.

Gnr. Thomas Joseph Hussey
British Army Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Co. Westmeath, Ireland
My Grandfather, Thomas J Hussey, served in the Royal Garrison Artillery in World War One. I don't know too much about his service. He was from outside Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland. He was long dead before I was born. I have his medals, (the British war medal and the Victory Medal). He was 39 and single when he joined up. Apparently he used to talk about serving in 'France and Flanders'. He had an old shell case that he brought home also, which we don't have any more. I have a photocopy of a letter that he sent home in 1916 to a neighbour. I know he also served in the East in the Palestine campaign and possibly Egypt or Mesopotamia and was in Jerusalem in 1917 when the British took it from the Turks. He served mass for the Chaplain on Christmas Day 1917 and the Chaplain asked him to guess his name, 'Joe' as he was known, guessed it correctly as Murphy and the Priest told him that he would go home safely from the war, and he did. He married and had 5 children and worked in a saw mills for years and as a farmer also. He passed away in September 1951. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of him.
Gnr. Thomas Joseph Hussey
British Army Clyde Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Fieldtown, Ballinea, Mullingar, Co. Wesmeath, Ireland
Thomas J Hussey, (1878-1951) known as Joe. was my grandfather. He was born and raised in a rural area outside Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. He was the only son of Patrick Hussey and Mary Hussey (nee Flynn).
He served in the First World war as a Gunner in the Artillery. I don't know too much about his service. He served in the RFA and the RHA (671490) and also in the RGA (Clyde). I think he may have served with the RGA early in the war and then went overseas or even the other way round. I know from family stories that he served in Palestine and Mesopotamia at one time (I think in 1917). He was in Jerusalem around the time it was taken. I think he also served in France and Flanders at some stage. According to records he was with the Clyde RGA also. I do have a memory of my uncle telling me that my grandfather had been in Scotland, but I didn't associate this with the war.
I have a copy of a letter he wrote home from Baddow in Essex in Oct 1916 and I also have his 2 service medals. He survived the war and married in 1919 and had 5 children. He worked in a saw mill and also as a farmer. He passed away on September 1st 1951. I never met him.

"On the 2nd of September 1918 in France, Captain Hutcheson went through the Drocourt-Queant Support Line with his battalion, remaining on the field until every wounded man had been attended to. He dressed the wounds of a seriously hurt officer under terrific machine-gun and shell fire, and with the help of prisoners and his own men, he succeeded in evacuating the officer to safety. Immediately afterwards, he rushed forward in full view of the enemy to attend a wounded sergeant, and having placed him in a shell-hole, dressed his wounds."

L/Cpl. Albert Isaac Hutchinson
British Army 7th Btn. South Staffordshire Regiment
from:Leicester
(d.17th Aug 1917)
Albert Isaac Hutchinson was my maternal grandfather. My mother was born in February 1916 and, as far as I am aware, Albert only saw his youngest daughter once. My mother often spoke about finding his grave - all she knew was that it was in Belgium. It was not until after she passed away in May 2000 that I managed to find where he is buried, and my own daughter and I are going to visit his grave in August 2016. I have discovered only today that his record contains very little personal information - I do not know his date or place of birth for example, and the cemetery record does not have any detail of his wife, Ettie Alexandra Hutchinson. The home that he shared with Ettie and their two daughters was in the Leicester area.
