Rflm William Hampshire
British Army 16th Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:Rochester, Kent.
(d.28th January 1916)
William Hampshire was my great uncle. Unfortunately, I only discovered him when searching my family history.
From what I can ascertain he was my great grandmother's first child - born when she was very young and unmarried. It seems from Ancestry that he was brought up by his mother's sister's family, although it seems from records that he lived with his mum and step dad (my great grandfather)for some time prior to WW1. My grandfather (who would have been his half brother), never mentioned him to any of his children although he did keep a photo of him on his bedside table. William landed at Le Havre on 17th November 1915 and was killed in action on 28th January 1916 - after only being there 2 months, he was 21. His grave is in Cambrin Churchyard Extension France. RIP great uncle William.

Spr. Jesse Hampton
British Army 179th Tunnelling Coy. Royal Engineers
from:Ogley Hay, Staffordshire
(d.18th May 1918)
Jesse Hampton was my GG Uncle on my Dad's side of the family. He was born December 1897 to Emma and Thomas Hampton in a small mining village called Ogley Hay in Staffordshire. His family were miners and had been for generations. He joined the army and was sent underground with the 179th Tunnelling Company. This was a very dangerous job, and I assume he was chosen because he would have already had a few years experience as a miner back in England. He was killed by the effects of gas on the 18th of May 1918 and is buried in St. Sever Cemetery Extension, Rouen. Q.III.H.5.
Sgt. Philip Hampton

Philip Hampton had enlisted in 1914. His regiment arrived in France just before Christmas in 1914. He was wounded in the 2nd Battle of Ypres on the 8th May 1915, and admitted to No. 3 Casualty Clearing Station which was then based at Poperinghe, Belgium. His wound was in the buttocks. He was transferred from the CCS on the same day. Destination unknown. I would like to know which hospital. He was discharged from the British Army in 1916.
Samuel Hampton
British Army 235 Coy. Army Service Corps
I have a photograph of my grandfather which appears to be from a roll of honour. He is shown as being in 253 Coy, name Samuel Hampton but I have no idea of photograph date. I have only seen this for the first time last week when my 93 year old mother asked me if I could have it framed.
I have no other information other than my grandfather received shrapnel wounds at the Somme survived the war and received treatment at the UVF hospital until he died in 1950/51. Can anyone give me any other information?

His regimental number was 1779. He is commemorated on the Helles Memorial in Turkey. He was a sniper and I understand he was himself killed by a sniper bullet. I cannot verify the story but it is a story told by family members. Ernest was born in 1896. His brother Richard Walter Hancock (No. 1842/450294). Richard served in the same regiment as his brother, he was born in 1897 and survived the war, dying in Islington in 1960.

Pte. John Hocken Hancock
British Army 12th Btn. East Surrey Regiment
from:Lewisham, London
My grandfather, Jack Hancock, served with the 12th Battalion East Surrey Regiment for one year. He was a Lewis gunner. He got an extra 2/6d in his pay packet for being a Lewis gunner. This was danger money as the gun was so heavy you found it hard to run fast when carrying it and so were a sitting target.
He was mustard gassed on 4th September 1918. I think this happened near Bois Quarante which is 11km from Ypres. He never returned to the battlefield. He died in 1985.
