HILBIG, Erdmann Leonard
THE LATE PRIVATE ERDMANN LEONARD HILBIG.
Private E. L. Hilbig was killed in action in the heavy fighting at Loos during September last. "The fourth son of Mr. E.P. Hilbig. of Point Pass, South Australia, he was born 'at Truro in November, 1891. He received his education at the Point Pass Public School, and afterwards worked for some years in Jansen Bros' implement factory at Eudunda. About three years ago he left to "see the world." He found employment at 'Motherwell, near Glasgow, Scotland. He served a term in the Royal Scottish Engineers. At the outbreak of hostilities he enlisted in the artillery and passed his gunner's examination. A surplus of artillery men resulted in his transfer, with 200 others, to the infantry on the western front in France. A comrade's letter to the young hero's sister, describes the manner of his death as follows:- |
|
"We were mates, and were both in the big charge against the Germans on September 25. We had both reached the enemy's trenches together, when I was badly wounded in both legs, making it impossible for me to walk. I told him to go on, but he only laughed, and, like the splendid chap he always was he just picked me up and under a perfect hail of shell and rifle, fire, carried me back to our own trenches to a deep dug-out, where I was safe. He turned back then with half a dozen other chaps to go to the enemy's trenches, when a 10-inch German shrapnel shell burst just over his head. All the small company dropped back into our trenches, some with their heads almost blown away and others perfectly riddled with bullets, and your poor brother's head was just a mass of blood. I think the poor chap was killed outright. Before the charge we exchanged the home addresses of each other so that in case one of us got killed the other could write to his people. He was a very silent lad, but he was very wild sometimes, and did not care a hang for anything. He told me many time she enlisted only for the love of adventure and the excitement he would get at the front. "
