_________________
2nd Battalion Honourable Artillery Company (Infantry).
Killed in action on the 31st of March 1917, aged 30.
Samuel Francis Hutchinson was born at the Royal Hospital,
Chelsea, the son of Samuel Hutchinson, a bank clerk, and
Marie Louise Hutchinson, later of Glenrock, 95 Park Lane,
Wallington in Surrey.
He worked as a marine insurance clerk for Henry Head
& Company Ltd, Lloyd's brokers.
Samuel enlisted at the Headquarters of the Honourable
Artillery Company at Armoury House, Finsbury on the
20th of December 1915 where it was recorded at his
medical examination that he was five feet 11 inches tall.
He gave his address as Westleigh, Theale Road,
Streatham in South London.
He transferred to the 2nd Battalion on the 7th of
September 1916 and embarked for France on the 2nd of
October 1916. He was appointed to the rank of unpaid
Lance Corporal on the 18th of January 1917.
At 6.50am on the 30th of March 1917 the 2nd Battalion
Honourable Artillery Company completed the relief of a
battalion of the Border Regiment in trenches at Mory in a
line which ran midway between Mory and Ecoust-St.-Mein.
At dusk the following day an advanced post on the MoryBullecourt Road was heavily shelled by the enemy which
was quickly followed by an attack by a large force of their
infantry, resulting in its capture. An attack was made on
another post at the same time but this was repulsed. As
the first post to fall was of considerable importance it was
decided that A Company was to recapture it at the earliest
opportunity and an attack was mounted at 2am on the 1st of
April, but this attack failed, as did a later one by C Company.
The Battalion suffered total casualties during this
engagement of some 200 officers and men of whom
two officers and 28 men were killed, one of whom was
Samuel Hutchinson.
He is buried at H.A.C. Cemetery, Plot I, Row A, Grave 21.
