Pte. James Frederick Hillard

British Army 17th Btn. Middlesex Regiment

from:Middlesex

My Grandfather, James Frederick Hillard was an ambulance driver during WW1. He joined the 17th Battalion (then the 23rd) to serve along side his footballing heroes. He was, like my brothers and I now, a QPR Fan.

He was born in 1898, so was 16 when he joined. He was awarded the British and Victory medals post war for his services in the French Red Cross during his time with the 17th and 23rd Middlesex Battalions. He is listed in the back of the book 'When the Whistle Blows', a book about the 17th Battalion.
