The reason I am so interested in Serge Hill, is because I have a book that belonged to my Grandfather (Herman Nullmeyer b. 1873). This book ( Pilgrims Progress) was presented to him in 1914 by, Harvey. C. Perkins and Percy G. Simmonds. It reads "To Sergeant. Herman Nullmeyer, in remembrance of Hyde Park 1914. My grandfather was attached to the, Queens Westminster Rifles, 1914-1918 rank of CSM. Also 1st. Middlesex R.V 1895-1900 The information below I found last week, having had my memory jogged re. 1st WW. I thought to my self what did happen in Hyde Park in 1914. August 1914 Hemel Hempstead, in Hertfordshire. The Queen's Westminster Rifles marched (as part of the 2nd London Division) from Hyde Park to Edgware on 16 August 1914 and then on the following day to the St Alban's area. At Leverstock Green they carried out a systematic course of hard training in preparation for their departure for France. In a completely different search I looked for Herman's mother on the 1911 census, when I found that she was the House keeper at Serge Hill House, I thought that the two must be linked. >From the information found, it looks like Mary Anne was housekeeper to the Solly family. I wonder if Capt. H. Solly had links with the "Queens Westminster Rifle's" I think another family History mystery, may have been solved. Rg. Lynne
