Hubert Henry Hillier(Papers have his name crossed out and replaced with Rupert Ghillyer) was born in Colchester on 20/05/1889.He joined the Royal Navy on 11th June 1907, trade given as Clerk. During WW1 he served on H.M.S.Tiger from 3rd October 1914 to 25th July 1918.He would have seen action at Dogger Bank and Jutland.Thev last ship he served on was H.M.S.Hood, and he was shore pensioned on 10 June,1929.Papers also state that his true date of birth was 17th May, 1886.Medal traced 25/06/1927
He is on the WW1 medal roll as 311813 Hubert H Hillier. His marriage certificate of 1910 shows him as Rupert Ghillyer.It may be that he used Hubert Henry Hillier as an alias, or more likely the Naval Authorities mis-transcribed his name?
Comes with copied papers, medal roll, etc.
Interesting pair, worthy of further research.
