His wife said she believed his father and his uncles played a part in instigating his career. Whilst he was working he took Banking examinations and he became a CAIB: Chartered Associate of the Institute of Bankers, circa 1930. At the start of World War II when the Allies declared war on Germany on 3 April 1939, as a Bank Clerk he initially had what was called a 'Reserved Occupation' - ie. he was needed at home to keep the country running, previously in the Great War so many had volunteered that not enough people were left to run the country properly or to work on the Home Front and this was a Government measure take to try to avoid a repetition. When he was later called-up to fight in 1942, the Bank kept his job open for him to return to after the cessation of hostilities. On 9 January 1975 Hugh retired from The Comptoir National descompt de Paris, then the Banque Nationale de Paris, which subsequently merged with Paribas to become BNP Paribas [the Company's website described it as 'The bank for a changing world'. 'BNP Paribas is one of the world’s biggest banking groups, operating across 87 countries and with assets of almost 700 billion Euro. We’re the dominant bank on the Continent of Europe and, as well as corporate and investment banking, we are a major player in retail banking, international private banking, asset management and global custody. BNP Paribas was formed by the merger between Banque Nationale de Paris and Paribas. It was a merger widely regarded as one of the most successful in corporate history, as evidenced by our results and stock price, which have significantly outperformed recommendations by Equity analysts.' 26 November 2002.] He was given a Retirement Party at which he was photographed. On 9 July 1981 Hugh was presented with Medaille D'Honneur Du Travail, Argent, Vermeil and Or, awarded for quarante-trois annee of service by Compoir descent de Paris.

She registered his birth as Arundel giving his father's occupation as 'East India Merchant'. He was not christened until 1873 with different first names and so his father may not have been living in London until the christening.

Two copies of his birth certificate, issued in his lifetime, in the name of Arundel are in the family papers. His Baptismal entry in the Parish Register of Baptisms in the Parish of St John, Notting Hill [London], solves the mystery that Gordon and Arundel are one and the same person as the entry reads 'When baptised: 1873, April 20th, Child's Christian Name: Gordon Caldwell Gemmell, Parents Name: Christian: Hugh Bowie and Georgina Hillatt, Surname: Macculloch, Abode: 6 Ladbroke Crescent, Quality, Trade or Profession: Gentleman, By whom the Ceremony was performed: R S Cobbett Curate, BORN 18 Dec/71'.

He and Mary Hillatt lived on 19 September 1881 at 5 Radnor Place, Westminster, London England; as when Alfred wrote his Will he gave this as his address.⁸⁵ Alfred Abraham Jones and Mary Hillatt were photographed together and Mary is standing beside her seated husband Alfred and the photograph is on the website circa 1882 at Brighton, Sussex England.^{86,87,88,89,90,91} Alfred Abraham Jones lived in 1882 at 64 Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, London England; For the year 1882, 64 Grosvenor Street, London, was given as 'Unoccupied' in The London Directory of Streets and there was also no entry for Alfred in either the Law, Court or Clerical London Post Office Directories.⁹² He lived before 17 August 1882 at 77 Lansdowne Place, Hove, Sussex England.^93,76,94 He died on 17 August 1882 at 38 Lansdowne Place, Hove, Sussex England; he appears to have died in a neighbouring house. [During a visit in 2002, Number 38 was found to be situated nearest the sea and, looking up from the sea, was on the righthand side and number 77 was found to be higher up the slope on the lefthand side. The houses were within easy walking distance of each other.] Alfred was given on his Death Certificate as 'Surgeon Dentist'. [16 months previously when the 1881 census was taken, there were two households living at Number 38, one headed by James Morgan, a Lodging House Keeper, and the other by Arthur Shepherd, a Landed Proprietor; none of these people appear to be related to the Jones family. At Number 77 the Head of Household was Miles Stringer, JP Surrey, Col 3rd Surrey Militia, birthplace Russell Square, London, and this may possibly have been the person from whom Alfred purchased the house.] His death was registered in the September quarter 1882 at Steyning Registration district.^95,96

He was the subject of an obituary Alfred's death was announced in 'The Times' of 21 August 1882 as:

     'On the 17th inst., in Lansdowne-place, Brighton, after three days' illness, ALFRED JONES, Esq., of 77, Lansdowne-place, Brighton and late of 64, Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, and Grove Lodge, West Moulsey, Surrey, deeply regretted'

and also in an unidentified, perhaps local, publication as:

After an inspection in 1996, Highgate Cemetery reported 'the memorial is a white marble cross on 3 plinths plus kerbset. The Grave is situated near The Chester Road gates in The East Cemetery in an area rather overgrown with a large Ash tree grown in centre of grave'.

His inscription is:

His estate was probated on 20 September 1882; with an 'Affidavit of due execution filed.. at London....by the oath of Mary Hillatt Jones (in the Will called Mary Jones) widow the ...relict the sole Executrix to whom Admon was granted.^100,85'

      Her married name was Jones. Mary Hillatt Family history: The Institute of Heraldic Studies: 'suggest that Hillatt is an old Essex name which moved into London during early 18th century'. The family have a coat of arms on parchment with a Winged Heart and the motto: 'Ambula: in Luce', which can be translated as 'Walk: in Light.^{2,3,4,5,6,7,8}' She was born circa 22 April 1810 at London, London England.^9,10,11 She was the daughter of Simon Hillatt and Mary Cooper.¹ Mary Hillatt and Alfred Abraham Jones were engaged in 1823; according to 'The Lady's magazine (and museum) improved ser enlarged' ... Alfred Jones, Esq., of Lower Grosvenor-street, ... only child of S. Hillatt, Esq., of Clapham-rise, Surrey.¹²' Mary Hillatt and Alfred Abraham Jones obtained a marriage license on 6 December 1834; and this 'was issued by the faculty office of the Archbishop of Canterbury.....allegation made in application for the licence.' '..made Oath, that he [Alfred] believeth there is no impediment of Kindred or Alliance, or of any other lawful Cause, nor any Suit commenced in any Ecclesiastical Court to bar or hinder the Proceeding of the said Matrimony, according to the Tenor of such Licence.' Alfred had presented himself to the faculty office at Knightrider Street, Westminster. Lambeth Palace Library writes: 'The charge for a common licence in 1880 was £2 2s 6d, which is thought to have remained fairly constant throughout the nineteenth century. The signature on the microfilm printout is indeed that of Alfred Abraham Jones ...The allegation was sworn before Mr Phillimore, a surrogate.^{13,14,15,16,17}'

Mary Hillatt lived on 6 December 1834; Alfred Abrham Jones 'made Oath, that she the said Mary Hillatt hath had her usual Place of Abode within the said Parish of Clapham aforesaid for the Space of Fifteen Days last past.¹⁸' She was a Spinster of the Age of Twentyone Years and upwards and was of the Parish of Clapham according to her Marriage Certificate on 9 December 1834.¹⁸ She married Alfred Abraham Jones, son of Hart Jones and Rachel Miriam Abraham, on 9 December 1834 at Holy Trinity, Clapham, Surrey, England; and their entry reads: 'Alfred A.

Tapley, Vicar of Hare (?) in the county of Northampton in the presence of Simon Hillatt, Marian Absalon, Emma Saing.^{19,20,21,22,23}'

The Bristol Mercury (Bristol, England), Saturday, December 13, 1834; Issue 2337 carried a notice of their marriage.²⁴ Mary Hillatt lived between 1837 and 1839 at Putney, Surrey England; as it is given as the birthplace of her first son Alfred James.⁹

She was oral histo Both her great grandchildren Grace Agnes Macculloch and Hugh Bowie Macculloch believed that Mary and her husband attended Queen Victoria's wedding and that a ring of hers was, according to notes written by Grace, a 'Souvenir Ring of Queen Victoria's wedding, one was given to each lady guest. This one was given to our great grandmother.' At the time Mary would have been approximately 4 months pregnant with her son William Frederick Hillatt Jones. The reason for being invited to the Wedding was that Alfred was 'Dentist to Queen Victoria'. This has yet to be proved, but records do show Alfred listed in 1841 as 'Jones, Alfred, surgeon dentist to the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester', in the 'Commercial' Section of The London Post Office Directory. [These were two of Queen Victoria's Aunts: 'Princess Augusta Sophia of Great Britain (1768-1840)' and 'Mary Princess of Great Britain Duchess of Gloucester (1776-1857)'.] Queen Victoria's wedding took place on 10 February 1840.^{25,26,27,28,29,30,31} She lived between 3 July 1840 and 1881 at 64 Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, London England.^19,32 She appeared on the census of 6 June 1841 at 64 Lower Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, London England, as age 25 and she was born in the county.³³ She appeared on the census of 30 March 1851 at Broad Lane, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey England, as Wife, age 35, birthplace Middlesex.^34,35,36 She and Alfred Abraham Jones lived between 1860 and 1881 at Grove Lodge, West Molesey, Surrey England; no more is known about this address other than it appeared in Alfred's Obituary notice; it is possible this address was a second home.³⁷ Mary Hillatt appeared on the census of 7 April 1861 at 64 Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, London England, as age 44 [?], wife, married, birthplace Middx-London.⁹ She was photographed Mary was photographed and the date, 22 April 1864, the significance of which is unknown, was written on the back of the photograph on 22 April 1864.³⁸ She appeared on the census of 2 April 1871 Neither Mary nor her husband Alfred were at home - 64 Grosvenor Street, Hanover Square, London - for the 1871 Census, although their son, Alfred was.³⁹ She appeared on the census of 3 April 1881 at 11 Cavendish Place, Brighton, Sussex England, as wife age 60 [?].⁴⁰ She and Alfred Abraham Jones lived on 19 September 1881 at 5 Radnor Place, Westminster, London England; as when Alfred wrote his Will he gave this as his address.⁴¹ Mary Hillatt and Alfred Abraham Jones were photographed together and Mary is standing beside her seated husband Alfred and the photograph is on the website circa 1882 at Brighton, Sussex England.^{42,43,44,45,46,47} Mary Hillatt was ownership ownership of The Jones Family Grave was transferred into her name after her husband died

     Alfred James Hillatt Jones was born on 5 June 1836 at Putney, Surrey England.^1,2,3,4,5 He was the son of Alfred Abraham Jones and Mary Hillatt. Alfred James Hillatt Jones appeared on the census of 6 June 1841 at 64 Lower Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, London England, as age 5 and he was born in the county.⁶ He was educated at Westminster School where their records show he was admitted on 19 January 1849.⁷ He appeared on the census of 30 March 1851 at Broad Lane, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey England, as Son, age 14, birthplace Putney, Surrey, and he was a Scholar.^8,9,10 He appeared on the census of 7 April 1861 at 64 Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, London England, as Son, age 24, unmarried, Student, born Putney, Surrey.^11,12 He was photographed between 1867 and 1869 at Belton & Reed Photographers, 57 Oxford Street, Westminster, London England.¹³ He appeared on the census of 2 April 1871 at 64 Grosvenor Street, Grosvenor Square, London England, as Son, age 30, birthplace Putney, Surrey, and he was a Surgeon Dentist.¹⁴

He died on 25 April 1877 at 24 London Road, Charlton, Dover, Kent England, at age 40; his occupation was given as 'Gentleman' and his death was witnessed, registered and certified by his informant Charles A Wade, Warden, at 24 London Road, Charlton, Dover, Kent. This gentleman gave Alfred's age as 37 years, and as the cause of his death was Spinal Disease 18 months and Paraplegia 3 months, it would appear that he was receiving treatment or care at this address and he could have moved to Dover to be near the sea for the benefit of his health. (There is a gentleman photographed with a walking stick - or it could be a fashionable cane such as a family member carried in another photograph - in The Jones Family Photograph Album, but it is pure speculation that he was this gentleman. There are also 3 unidentified children in another photograph on the same page as this one in the Album, but it seems unlikely that these are his children as he does not appear to have been married).^15,16

He was buried at Highgate Cemetery, Swains Lane, Highgate, London England; in The Jones Family Grave. After an inspection in 1996 Highgate Cemetery reported 'The memorial is a white marble cross on 3 plinths plus kerbset. The Grave is situated near The Chester Road gates in The East Cemetery in an area rather overgrown with a large Ash tree grown in centre of grave.' The grave was purchased on Alfred's death by his father, Alfred Abraham Jones. Along with Alfred, this grave is the final resting place of his parents, younger brother and one of his two sisters. The inscriptions on the grave were difficult to decipher in 1996 and were even more difficult to read when the grave was visited in May 2003, but his part of the inscription is believed to read:

Also of Alfred James Hillatt Jones
who died April 25 1877 aged 39 years.¹⁷

Locality: Ieper, West-Vlaanderen.

Location Information: Railway Dugouts Burial Ground (Transport Farm) is located 2 kilometres south-east of Ieper town centre, on the Komenseweg, a road connecting Ieper to Komen (N336). From Ieper town centre the Komenseweg is located via the Rijselsestraat, through the Rijselpoort (Lille Gate) and crossing the Ieper ring road, towards Armentieres and Lille. The road name then changes to Rijselseweg. 1 kilometre along the Rijselseweg lies the left hand turning onto Komenseweg. The cemetery itself is located 1.2 kilometres along the Komenseweg on the right hand side of the road.

Historical Information: The commune of Zillebeke contains many Commonwealth cemeteries as the front line trenches ran through it during the greater part of the First World War. Railway Dugouts Cemetery is two kilometres west of Zillebeke village, where the railway runs on an embankment overlooking a small farmstead known to the troops as Transport Farm. The site of the cemetery was screened by slightly rising ground to the east, and burials began there in April 1915. They were continued until the Armistice, especially in 1916 and 1917, when advanced dressing stations were placed in the dugouts and the farm. They were made in small groups, without any definite arrangement; and in the summer of 1917 a considerable number were obliterated by shell fire before they could be marked. The names "Railway Dugouts" and "Transport Farm" were both used for the cemetery. At the time of the Armistice, more than 1,700 graves in the cemetery were known and marked. Other graves were then brought in from the battlefields and small cemeteries in the vicinity, and a number of the known graves destroyed by artillery fire were specially commemorated. The latter were mainly in the present Plots IV and VII. The cemetery now contains 2,459 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War. 430 of the burials are unidentified and 261 casualties are represented by special memorials. Other special memorials record the names of 72 casualties buried in Valley Cottages and Transport Farm Annexe Cemeteries whose graves were destroyed in later fighting. The cemetery was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

At the time of James's recorded death he was a serving soldier with the 7th Battalion, Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment.) where he held the rank of private. The prefix of James's service number G/ shows that he was New Army Man and Later in a Home County Regiment. The 7th Battalion was formed at Guildford during September 1914, as part of Lord Kitcheners (K2) 2nd New Army. Also during September 1914 the 7th Battalion was attached to 55th Brigade with the 18th (Eastern) Division.

The 18th (Eastern) Division was Established by the Eastern Command, September 1914, as part of K2. Early days were somewhat chaotic, the new volunteers having very few trained officers and NCOs to command them, no organised billets or equipment. However, by the Spring of 1915, the Division was considered to be ready for France.

On the 25 May 1915 the 18th (Eastern) Division landed in Boulogne; the Division served with distinction on the Western Front for the remainder of the war, taking part in most of the significant actions.

THIRD BATTLE OF YPRES (31st July - 10th November)

GENERAL OVERVIEW
Between July 31st and November 10th the British launched a series of attacks known as the Third Ypres, or more simply Passchendaele. British troops fought battles against the Germans and the elements. The almost constant rain had turned the battlefield into a sea of mud and destroyed any hope of a major advance. The initial attack failed but despite of this further attacks were ordered.
At 3.50.a.m. on July 31st the Divisions of the British army advanced in driving rain. North of Ypres advances of 2 miles were made and Pilckem Ridge was captured from the Germans but further south, around the Menin road the attack was far less successful. Constant bombardment in this area had destroyed the drainage system and water could not run away. Shell holes were filled with water and everywhere the earth had turned to mud. It is said that when Lt-Gen Sir Launcelot Kiggell (Haig's Chief of Staff) visited the battlefield for the first time after the fighting was over and when he saw the conditions he burst into tears saying:
'Good God! Did we really send men to fight in this?' By the time that the British finally seized control of Passcendaele ridge in November their casualties had risen to over 300,000 and there was no chance of a major breakthrough. Allied causalities of which 90,000 were killed or reported missing. Of these dead , 42,000 bodies were never recovered . Many were simply blown to bits or still lie in the mud where they fell . Some were wounded and fell face down and were drowned in the mud ,unable to move due to the weight of equipment they were carrying, some managed to crawl into a shell holes but were drowned as they were unable to move and the water level rose . Many soldiers reported hearing their cries and screams for help but were unable to do anything . It is not possible to comprehend the horror of all this . Some soldiers words summed it all up ~ " We died in Hell " ~ " Oh Jesus make it stop " .For the Germans it was equally bad , they estimated they lost 400,000 men in this battle .

Listed above are the major Battles & engagements of Third Ypres, but it should be remembered that there were many minor operations within these larger scale Battles. It was in one of these minor operations that James lost his life.

A week after the Battle of Pilckem (31st July - 2nd August), on the 10th August 1917, the 18th (Eastern) and 25th Divisions, were ordered to attack, capture and hold Westhoek.
These two British Divisions advanced on two-mile front east of Ypres, to capture remainder of Westhoek, and occupy Glencorse Wood. They attacked under a hail of machine gun fire from German pillboxes in the vicinity of Westhoek Ridge. The attacking Battalions of the two Divisions were cut to pieces, but by the end of the day their objectives were met and they took Westhoek. The German forces launched Seven hostile counter-attacks within the following four days, but these broke down before the British defences defence.
Although the capture of Westhoek was a success, Both the 18th (Eastern) and 25th Divisions suffered high casualties. The 7th Battalion, the Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment) suffered horrendous casualties on the 10 August 1917. On that day James was one of 81 ( 1 officer. 80 rank & file) to lose their lives with the 7th Battalion, all 81 men were recorded as been Killed in Action. Unlike James most of the fallen that day have no known grave, and are commemorated on Panel 11 - 13 and 14 YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIAL .


The 7th Battalion, the Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment) suffered horrendous casualties during the Great war 1914-1918. 47 officers and 1,199 men from the rank & file lost their lives whilst serving with the Battalion. Many more suffered wounds of all descriptions. The Battalion was the basic tactical unit of the infantry of the British Army in the Great War of 1914-1918. At full establishment, it consisted of 1,007 men, of whom 30 were officers. It comprised a Battalion Headquarters, and four Companies. These casualty figures for the 7th Battalion show that on many occasion the Battalion would have received new drafts and transfers to bring it up to fighting strength. Most of the fallen from the 7th Battalion have no known grave. Where they rest is known only unto God.^{22,23,24,25,26,27,28}'

His Grandson, Eric William Hall says 'Colchester was the base of the Division' and he 'was very surprised to see the book [in Holy Trinity Church] a few years ago and the Rector very kindly opened it at the correct page so that he 'could photograph it. The Queen's Regimental Museum, Clandon Park, Surrey, has various items associated with the regiment including a book containing all the names of those killed, commissioned by the regiment.'

'I have found out very recently the full story from the War Graves Commission.. when originally buried one number from the identity tags was missing and so it was not certain who the solider was...when the battlefields were being tied up and graves put together it was possible, by process of elimination, to be positive that it was the body of James Hall. He was originally buried some 5 miles away and only a few metres from where he must have been killed according to the diary. These facts came to light before the opening of the famous memorial to the missing at the Menin Gate as his name never appeared on it although my grandmother thought that it did'

I am at the same time to express the regret of the Army Council at the soldier's death in his Country's service. I am to add that any information that may be received as to the soldier's burial will be communicated to you in due course. A separate leaflet dealing more fully with this subject is enclosed. Signed by Officer in charge of Records.'
