The Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site lists all servicemen from the British Commonwealth who died in the First World War. I have extracted the names of all the Hingstons and have added, when I can identify it, the link to the relevant web page on this site. The list of relatives is as given on the CWGC site. There are no Hingstons listed on the American Battle Monuments Commission web site although there is one Hinkson.
