Killed in airplane accident, July 13, 1918

A letter from the Chaplain to Lieut. Hill's family said in part:
In speaking with Captain Leach, the Commanding Officer of the School of Special Flying, he said it was a pure accident which caused the death of Lieutenant A. W. Hill; he was a promising flyer, a good officer, and personally a very fine fellow. His death cast a deep gloom over the airdrome. Speaking personally, I know he was very popular among his fellow officers and all who knew him in the airdrome. There is no doubt that he took his duties very seriously and showed wonderful ability. There is every evidence that he was a fine, clean-living, manly fellow, who commanded the respect and confidence of all who knew him. He was not be forgotten. Be assured that his passing was due to no mistake or neglect on his own part or the part of any one, but just one of the unaccountable accidents that have taken from us so many of our fine, heroic boys.
