James Hill b. Martley, aged 23, 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards stationed at Aldershot Barracks, Hampshire
Berrow’s Worcester Journal, 12th December 1914:
Martley Man killed
Information has been received officially by Mr C Hill, Newtown, that his son, Pte J Hill, 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards, was killed in action on Nov. 10th. A rumour was current to this effect some three weeks ago, but it is only now officially confirmed. Pte. Hill was well-known in the parish, and much sympathy is felt for his parents and family. He was a Reservist for two or three years, but at once re-joined his regiment on the outbreak of war. This is Martley’s first loss in the War.
The following information appears in the United Parish Magazine, St Peter’s Church, Martley, May 1915:
The war has taken toll of us in Martley in two cases now. James Hill (Grenadiers) was killed at Ypres;
