249458 Bmbdr. Walter Harold Hillier 189th Brigade Royal Field Artillery My father, Walter Hillier rarely spoke about the War, apart from three things.-
1. He had a hand gun stolen from him and when it was recovered he was asked to identify it which he could do just by the feel of the handle. So there must have been some mark or nick in the butt to make it so obvious.
- 2. He could remember the name of just one of his horses, Lion, so it must have lasted longer than the others.
- 3. After each engagement the officers came round with just three questions: How many guns were lost? How many horses were lost? How many men were lost? Always in that order.

210121 Sgt. Thomas William King 189th "Hackney" Bty. Royal Field Artillery My Great grandfather was in the Royal Marine Light Infantry before the war but enlisted as a Private in the Royal (London) Welsh Fusiliers 15th Battalion on the 2/11/1914. He was quickly promoted due to his previous experience and transferred to the RFA on the 2/10/1915 as a Sergeant. He was demobbed in January 1919. In May 1916 he was severely reprimanded for an improper reply to an officer and his rank was reduced to Corporal and his pay stopped for 2 months. He didn't regain his rank as Sergeant again until November 1917. He claimed to have fought at the Somme and alongside the Guerkas of which he was very proud. Apart from that he spoke very little about the war.
