Malvern Gazette, 5th May 1917:
Mrs George Hill, Howsell Road, has received the following letter from Captain H. L. Newman, Worcestershire Regiment: “I feel I must write to you to express my sympathy on the death of your husband in action on the 5th April. L/Cpl Hill was one of the few remaining men who mobilised with me at the beginning of the War, and I was pleased to see him return to the Company at the end of last September. Always cheery and ready to look on the best side of things, I found him a very useful NCO while I commanded ‘B’ Company. Though I have not seen him lately, I always remember him as one of the old Malvern section. Believe me when I tell you I feel his loss very much and please accept my deepest sympathy. As you probably know, he died gallantly in action which was entirely successful and that at least must be some consolation to you.”
