Note 1: Captain in Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Field Artillery
Note 2: The following entry is an extract from the London Gazette, April 1918.
"2nd Lt. Oscar Hilton, R.F.A., Spec. Res.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in getting four guns of his battery in position under the worst possible conditions of wind and weather, and carrying up a supply of ammunition for them under heavy shell fire. On the same night, under heavy shell fire, he ran forward and extinguished a fire which had broken out under one of the gun-pits."

Sadly, he died from a combination of the 'flu epidemic and his wounds.
