Pte. Joseph Hillas
British Army 2/7th Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment
from:Tyersal, Bradford
(d.27th March 1918)
My great uncle, Joseph Hillas, died in Bucquoy on 27th March 1918. Accounts say he died with an officer, but neither body was found. He is remembered on Bay 4 of the Arras Memorial. Joe was the elder brother of my grandfather, Alfred James who, luckily, was too young for the war.
