Hamlet Hope British Army Royal Engineers According to Hamlet Hope's Medal Rolls Index Card, he entered into the Egyptian theatre on 28th of April1915, as a Pioneer, but ended the conflict as a Sapper. All attempts to access either his service record or a pension record were unsuccessful, it is likely that his records were destroyed during the Second World War. It is unclear whether he remained in the Middle East for the duration of the conflict or not. Again referring to his MRIC, he was transferred into Class Z status, but no date is given. For his service in the Great War, Sapper Hamlet Hope was awarded the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. At some point, he attested to the Territorial Force, as he was awarded a George V-issue Territorial Force Efficiency Medal and later served in the Second World War, earning the 1939-1945 Defence Medal and the 1939-1945 British War Medal.
