title: Medals of Ernest Gregory RAMC, including Military Medal (1)

description: Medals of Ernest Gregory, Sheffield, RAMC - as a conscientious objector he refused to fight - but volunteered and served as a stretcher-bearer and was gassed. These include his 1914-15 Star (225 Pte E. Gregory RAMC), and a Military Medal (405152 Pte E. Gregory 1/3 W. Rid. F.A. RAMC [1/3rd West Riding Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps]). The 1914-1918 medals are inscribed "225 A. Cpl E. Gregory RAMC". On the reverse of a photo in the collection is written "Military Medal gained at Paschendaele for Bravery in the Field for bringing in the wounded from the field in terrible conditions - under fire and through shell holes and mud filled with water up to the armpits".

title: Newspaper cutting describing seven sons on service - the Hill family (1)

description: A local paper printed in 1915 an article regarding a local man who himself had fought and been a soldier for over 50 years. He was upset that the army would not be able to use him in the great war due to his age. He ommitted to tell them that he already had at that time 6 sons and a son in law already fighting for their country. The article pictures them all and names them; it also gives a short biography for each. 2 years later in a follow up article more information is given on the brave man and on the loss of two brothers. One in Loos and one in Basra. Another brother had by this time also joined up. Since this was a time of large families maybe this was not such an uncommon event but surely seven sons fighting for the same outcome was a very honorable thing for any family to have. 90 years have passed and many generations who dont know the sacrifice made by these men. We know that in this family it has come as a surprise when we discovered these articles. I as great grandaughter to William Hill have, with my Uncle, been researching our tree and have been intigued by this outcome. I as a schoolchild visited Loos and stood at the graves of these young men not knowing that my blood spilled there. Now I know.
I feel very very proud of my Family and the honor with which they served.

Editor's Comment:
Pte. Gregory wears a Red Cross Armband, Small Box Respirator over his shoulder, and the belt of the Pattern 1914 Infantry Equipment with brace attachments - these were introduced for non-combatants who did not wear ammunition pouches. On the lower left sleeve is a Good Conduct badge, an inverted chevron awarded after two years.
