Pte. Albert Hill

British Army 10th (1st Gwent) Battalion South Wales Borderers

from:Newport, Mon

(d.17th January 1919)

Albert Hill is buried at Doullens Communal Cemetery Extension on the Somme. According to the war graves commission his age when he died was 20, but his birth records show that he was still in his teens when he died, so he appears to have lied about his age to enlist, as so many did. Although he died after the end of the war he perished on active service and so never returned home after Armistice Day and rests in a military cemetery.
