Albert Hollins was the son of Thomas Hollins a coal hewer, and his wife Hannah. Albert worked as a shop assistant prior to joining Kitchener's Model Army. He was twenty two at the time of his death and is commemorated at the Thiepval Memorial, and on the War Memorial at Brereton Staffordshire where he lived.
