Bmbdr. Walter Harold Hillier

British Army 189th Brigade Royal Field Artillery

from:St Marylebone, London

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.
