Pte. Charles Hilliard

Royal Irish Fusiliers 1st Btn.

from:Harpenden, Hertfordshire

Charles Hilliard joined the Royal Irish Fusiliers before WW1 and we think was a reserve in 1914, he was called up immediately at the start of the war leaving for France in August 1914. Amazingly he served throughout the war returning home in 1918 with only an injury to his foot. We don't know very much about his army life except he participated in cross country running competitions which he often won and we have a Wedgewood bowl that was one of his prizes. He died in the late 1960's having never discussed his army life.
