Brigadier-General Augustus West Hill, (4 May 1853 – 2 January 1921) was a British Army officer.
Hill was commissioned into the 57th (West Middlesex) Regiment of Foot on 1 January 1873. Following the 1881 Childers Reforms, the 57th merged with the 77th (East Middlesex), and became 2nd Battalion, the Middlesex Regiment; Hill commanded the battalion at the Battle of Spion Kop in January 1900, during the Second Boer War. He was subsequently mentioned in dispatches[1] and appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath for this action.
He became General Officer Commanding the Welsh Division in August 1908, shortly before retiring in January 1909.[2] He lived at Beckington Castle in Somerset from 1896 until 1901.[3]
He married Alice Emma Vane, daughter of George Vane, Treasurer of Ceylon (1865-1882), and they had at least two sons, both of whom also became soldiers. Herbert (1880-1943), served in South Africa with his father, followed by the British Indian Army, and Gerald (1886-?), who joined the Royal Irish Fusiliers, and won a DSO in 1918.
