Rflmn. Joseph Hillas
British Army 2/7th Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment
(d.27th March 1918)
I have just returned from helping to dedicate a memorial to the Bradford Pals in Bus Les Artois, but while out there I was privileged to lay a cross at the site of the trench outside the Village of Bucquoy in which my great uncle, Joe Hillas 241178 of the Prince Of Wales 7th Leeds Rifles, was killed. His body was never found and he is mentioned on the Arras Memorial.
