* Date of action: 17 Aug 44. Lt. Hills was
commanding a Troop of C Squadron in support of a Company of the Duke of
Cornwall's Light Infantry (D.C.L.I.) which had been ordered to capture LE
HAMEL over the Burjus [= Berjou] ridge in order that the bridgehead on the
Burjus [= Berjou] ridge could be firmly established. In order to reach the
village of LE HAMEL it was necessary to pass through extremely thickly
wooded country from which the enemy had not been cleared. Owing to this
difficult country, his troop became separated from the Company of Infantry.
However, he pushed forward to the outskirts of the village, during which
time his whole troop were continually engaged by enemy Bazookas which he was
unable to locate owing to the thick country and the fact that the enemy
allowed his troop to pass and attacked him from the rear. In spite of having
two of of his tanks badly damaged by enemy Bazookas, Lt. Hills continued to
lead his troop forward until he reached the outskirts of the village. He
continued to engage enemy positions in the village until he had used up all
his ammunition. In spite of the failing light and continued attacks from
enemy snipers and shortage of ammunition, Lt. Hills remained in position
with his troop, until after darkness had fallen, and the Infantry arrived to
clear the village. Lt. Hills displayed the highest courage throughout the
whole of the action, and carried on quite regardless of his own personal
danger, especially when he guided his troop on foot in order to find a way
through this difficult and wooded country which was infested with enemy
snipers and Bazookas. |

1914-15 Star; British War Medal ; Victory Medal;
Commander,
Order of St Olav, Norway, 1945.
* An officer who shows remarkable skill and courage in co-operating with our
artillery, and in carrying out photographic reconnaissances. He also proved
himself a very gallant leader on a recent raid, when he led two low patrols
over the lines, attacking with machine-gun fire and heavily bombing enemy
reserves. The machine in which he was flying was rendered useless for further
service, so intense was the hostile aircraft fire.
** A most courageous and determined officer who has rendered valuable service
on low reconnaissances. On August 8th, after dropping bombs to form smoke
screens, he was attacked by five scouts; his observer was wounded, but Captain
Hilton, flying at an extremely low altitude, with great skill evaded his
pursuers and landed safely. His machine was so badly damaged that it had to be
replaced. |

* On 6 Jun 44 Lieut. Hodgson held his platoon position
with great gallantry & resource, although subjected to many attacks by
greatly superior forces & inflicted at least 45 casualties on the enemy & 1
AFV knocked out. He so manoeuvred his platoon & personally led a
counter-attack that the enemy was completely deceived as to his strength &
positions & eventually withdrew. His own platoon suffered no casualties.
Throughout all this time he was a constant example of courageous leadership
& his cheerful disregard of danger was an inspiring example to his men.

A relative writes: "I was told by another
relative that he was wounded again when allied aircraft bombed his camp in
Germany (which one, I wonder, of the 120 approx?), and whilst they were playing
soccer the football landed near the fence. Another officer asked permission to
fetch it; so the soldier in the watchtower gave his permission. It happened
again; so the same officer ran to fetch it again without asking; so the German
in tower shot and killed him. Ernest, might have been repatriated by the Germans
due to his wounds but I have no evidence to support this assumption." |

One night this officer, with 12 men and a party of infantry, captured two
machine guns, holding at bay a large body of the enemy who nearly cut them
off, and successfully extricating the whole of his men with but few

and about 100 men, clearing it at the point of the bayonet and accounting for
at least fifty men and three machine guns. Although wounded himself, he
