Charles F. P. Hillier

10 August 2015 by SWM

C. F. P. Hillier
Service no. L/7574
Private, Royal Fusiliers, 4th Battalion
Born in Cork, Ireland; enlisted in London
Killed in action on 27 October 1914, aged 35
CWGC: “Son of Daniel and Ellen Hillier, of 9 Hemans Street, Lambeth, London. Served in the South African Campaign.”

Tentative identification

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission database lists a Charles Hillier, whose parents lived at 9 Hemans Street, off Wandsworth Road. However, this man was christened Charles James John in Cork, Ireland, the son of Daniel Hillier, a coal porter from  Stratfield Saye, Berkshire, and Ellen (née Pierce)
from Cork. 

The CWGC database also states that Hillier served in the Boer War. On 24 October 1900 Charles  Hillier, a private with the South West Borderers, was admitted, for unknown reasons, to Brookwood Asylum in Surrey.
