The memorial board in the church

The grave in the churchyard extension for William and Ellen Hollands also carries an inscription for Frederick Hollands that reads FREDERICK THOMAS HOLLANDS their son reported missing in the great war March 1918 aged 32 years.

The 1901 census lists a Frederick T Hollands as living in Barrow Cottages, then aged 14 (31 or 32 in 1918).

Frederick Hollands appears to have left Hartlip before the outbreak of the First World War as he joined the 9th Gloucestershire Regiment at Wotton-under-Edge, service number 012766. He rose to the rank of corporal.

He was killed in action on the 23rd of May 1918 during the opening stages of the German "Spring Offensive", a campaign that sought to defeat the Allies before American troop numbers became signficant. His body was never found and his name is on the Pozières Memorial on the Somme in France. Those listed on this memorial were killed when the Allies were driven back across the Somme battlefields by overwhelming German numbers. His entry in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission records that his age was 34 when he died.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission also states that he was serving in the 10th Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment at the time of his death. However, this Battalion had been disbanded in February 1918.

His name appears on the war memorial in front of the School and on the memorial board inside the Church porch. The memorial board as it was before the additions of the Second World War is shown on the left.
