PTE. JOHN HILLSON KILLED
On Thursday last week, W.G. Hensman was the recipient of a letter from Rev. A. Carlisle, chaplain of the 18th battalion, stating that Pte. John Hillson had been killed in action a few days previous. Pte. Hillson was one of the Barndardo boy whom Mr. Hensman had raised, and has written regularly of his life in the trenches. He enlisted in Windsor over a year ago, and had been six months in the firing line. Rev. Carlisle wrote that he had conducted himself as a noble soldier and a true man whom they all liked and respected, also that he had been buried in a military cemetery along with 4 of his comrades, quite close to the trench where he met his death. Pte. Hillson was well known in this locality.
Source: Unknown. Date published: Possibly March 31, 1916.

CIMETIÈRE MILITAIRE DE RIDGE WOOD Belgique
Le CIMETIÈRE MILITAIRE DE RIDGE WOOD est situé à 5 kilomètres au sud-ouest du centre-ville d'Ypres, sur la Slijpstraat, une route qui rejoint la Kemmelseweg (reliant Ypres à Kemmel N331). Du centre-ville d'Ypres on rejoint la Kemmelseweg via la Rijselsestraat, en passant par la porte de Lille (Rijselpoort), en direction d'Armentières (N365). À 900 mètres du carrefour se trouve le virage à droite sur la Kemmelseweg (qu'un passage à niveau rend plus facile à repérer).
Quatre kilomètres plus loin sur la Kemmelseweg, du côté droit, se trouve le cimetière militaire d'Elzenwalle, qui marque le croisement avec la Slijpstraat. Le CIMETIÈRE MILITAIRE DE RIDGE WOOD se trouve un kilomètre plus loin sur la Slijpstraat, après un petit carrefour décalé.
