Rfmn. Arthur Hill
British Army 1st/5th Btn. King's Liverpool Regiment
from:Wetheral, Carlisle, Cumbria
(d.31st Jul 1917)
Unfortunately, we do not have any photographs of my great-grandfather, Arthur Hill. However, I have a copy of a letter from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission which was addressed to my late grandfather who was searching for his father's war grave. Regrettably, no war grave was ever found so he is commemorated at the Menin Gate Memorial at Ypres, and on the Lychgate War Memorial at his local church. From conversations with my grandfather before he died he told me that my great-grandfather was born in Pontefract, Yorkshire, but moved to Nelson in Lancashire some time afterwards.
Editor's Note: Rifleman Arthur Hill was the son of Elizabeth Hill, of 23 Hartley Street, Nelson, and the late Samuel Hill. He was the husband of Mary Elizabeth Hill, of Springhill House, Wetheral, Carlisle. He died aged 30.
