English: Mural monument in St Disen's Church, Bradninch, Devon, to Lt-Col. Collis George Herbert St. Hill (1865-1917). Promoted Lt-Col.

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] |
