There are two possibilities for this man but it may be possible to identify the correct one by the diary entry dates.
13349 Pte William Hilton, 13th Bn, from Clayton, an original member of the Battalion, posted to the UK 08.06.1918.
28933 Pte William Hilton, 13th & 9th Bns, from Ince, joined the 13th Bn 18.01.1918.
Both men's service records have survived.
Are you aware that your Grandfathers brother served as 16237 Pte William Belford Whitehead with East Lancashire Regt?
