1914-18 War
Nearly 60 OHs from Hailey died during the Great War. The roll includes 4 MCs, a DSO and a DCM.
One of the casualties was Henry Boucher (H 1906), who is commemorated at St Andrew’s Church in Hertford. His Military Cross citation says he “encouraged his men to press on through heavy machine-gun fire by going ahead of them. Later, when the enemy counter-attacked under cover of heavy mortar and shell fire, he dashed up to the front line and rallied some posts which were wavering, and pushed in supports and reserve Lewis guns, breaking up the counter-attack”.
