252108 Dvr. Arthur Hill British Army 40th Division Ammunition Column Royal Field Artillery from:Islington, London (d.30th January 1918) Arthur Hill was my Grandfather. He joined up after two women passing him in the street handed him a white feather. He didn't know them and they didn't know him. He joined the Royal Field Artillery as the Driver of an ammunition truck. He died from his wounds on the 30th of January 1918 and is buried in the cemetery at Achiete La Grand near Bepaume in France. He left a wife and a baby daughter. Unfortunately, his wife, my grandmother, died in the flu epidemic in the same year leaving my mother an orphan at the age of 3 years. I have tried to research the circumstances surrounding my grandfather's death but it seems that the Regimental records were lost during the Blitz. I have visited his grave but would dearly love to know more about my Granfather's service.
