Description: Mural monument in St Disen's Church, Bradninch, Devon, to Lt-Col. Collis George Herbert St. Hill (1865-1917). Promoted Lt-Col. Royal North Devon Hussars, 16 June 1916.[1] Killed in action 8 July 1917 at Villers-Plouich, Northern France,[2] whilst commanding a batallion of the Sherwood Foresters; buried at Neuville-Bourjonval,[3] near Ypres. He was the 2nd son of Rev.

His mural monument exists in St Disen's Church, Bradninch. In 1899 he married Ammabel Wilson (d.1949),[6] a daughter of Sir Spencer Maryon Wilson, 10th Baronet of Charlton House, Kent.[7]
