Hubert Wilson MB ChB was in the RAMC and was MO i/c 20th DLI from January 1917 until January 1918. He retuened from two weeks leave at the beginning of June 1917 just before the Battle of Messines. He had been based in a regimental aid post in the cellar of a Brasserie in or near St. Eloi. I have a letter written by him on the 8th of June describing his experiences. After the battle he moved his aid post to the hill above Wytschaete.
He was gazetted on Sept 26th and November 9th MC and Bar gained in Passchendael Offensive.
He later accompanied the 20th DLI to Italy.
