He was deployed on 14th July 1915 and was immediately sent to the front at the Ypres Salient. He endured that hell hole for six months to the day and was killed in action on 14th February 1916 when a German mine was detonated under his trench at 5:40 that evening. No remains were recovered and he is memorialised on the Menin Gate for this reason. His widow and baby daughter received a gratuity of £6.

from:Bridlington, Yorks
(d.18th Jan 1916)
Letters written home by Second Lieutenant Hough had been donated to his old school, Bridlington School, and recently they were rediscovered during reorganisation. I volunteered to read and type up these letters and the book is now nearly complete. Hough was only 18 when he was killed. I am hoping to discover exactly where he was when he died. It is said he was near St Eloi, killed by a sniper. Hough mentions snipers in his letters home. He is buried in Dickebusch Military Cemetery. Last year I published "The Great War Heroes of Bridlington," which featured all 334 men named on Bridlington's Cenotaph, with minimal details of Hough's brief life.

Ernest Houghton or, as my family calls him, Uncle Ernie, was a young man of 27 when he died on 3rd July 1918. He was the youngest son of Charles and Clara Houghton. Uncle Ernie was born in a small hamlet called Wardy Hill, Coveney, Cambridgeshire, England. He is my great great uncle, the only information I could glean from my great aunt Gertie was that Uncle Ernie was a talented violinist. He was a gunner in the Royal Field Artillery, his unit 18th X Trench Mortar Battery. He is buried in Brandenburg, Germany. My family sadly does not have a picture of this young man who sacrificed his young life so my children can have the freedom they do today. Never forgotten, always remembered. Rest in peace Uncle Ernie.
Able Sea. Ernest Houghton
Royal Navy HMS Zealandia
from:Letchworth, Herts
Ernest Houghton, my paternal grandfather was placed in TS Mercury on the River Hamble, Southampton in 1906 at the age of 13 and trained as a boy sailor. He was there for 3 years and went straight into the Royal Navy at the age of 16 years and was placed in the training establishment HMS Impregnable at Devonport. His first ship was HMS Donegal followed by Jupiter, Cochrane, Excellent, Eclipse and Garry. A spell with HMS Victory at Portsmouth followed.
At the outbreak of WW1 he was part of the crew of HMS Zealandia and served on this ship for 2 years 9 months. After this he had a spell in barracks in HMS Pembroke, Chatham. Then followed a short spell back at HMS Victory. His last three ships before he was demobbed in 1920 were HMS Agincourt, HMS Hercules and finally HMS Wivern ending his naval career on 12/1/1920. In total he spent just over 14 years in naval service. He was on HMS Cochrane when it escorted the Royal Yacht - Medina (taking the King & Queen to India) in 1911 for the Delhi Durbar in which he took an active part in. He was chosen as 'King's Bugler' for some of the formalities of the Durbar. I have his Delhi Durbar medal to this day which I treasure. He died in 1965 when I was 20 so I remember him very well.
