'Hugh Egerton Woodhouse was the second surviving son of Mr. Coventry Woodhouse, of Southmead, Wimbledon Park, S.W. He came to No. 5 at Malvern in 1905, and went through the Modern Side to the top. He left in 1909, and, after being articled to a chartered accountant, entered his father's firm in 1913. At the outbreak of war he immediately responded to the call, and joined the H.A.C. as a Private. He went overseas with the 1st Battalion in September 1914, was invalided home with gastritis in January 1915, and in March of that year was commissioned to the 1/5 Bedfords, with whom he went to Gallipoli. He was wounded at Suvla Bay on September 4th, and after recovering received an appointment at the War Office in Officers' Casualties Department. Promoted July 17th, he has been twice mentioned in despatches. On February 15th, 1919, he entered the Empire Hospital, for another operation on his wounded arm, contracted influenza and double pneumonia, and died there March 1st. He was well known amongst O.Ms. In town in pre-war days, and was possibly Malvern's greatest son in inches, as he was of the best in character.' (Malvernian, Jul 1919).
