Note: Stanley’s Grandfather Amos had started a Grocery business in middlesborough and he and his father were eventually work in the very successful chain of Grocery Stores. In “1871, Amos Hinton took over John Birks’ grocery shop in South Street, Middlesbrough. By 1874 he had opened two more shops in the town, in Linthorpe Road and Newport Road. By the time of the First World War, Hinton’s company had branches in South Bank, Grangetown, Redcar and Haverton Hill as well as the Middlesbrough shops. However, the pride of the company was the store on Corporation Road, at the corner of Albert Road, with its highly successful “Oriental Café”. Hinton’s shops were famous locally for his own blends of tea and coffee and for the high quality of his cooked meats. Amos Hinton was elected to Middlesbrough town council in 1874. He became mayor in 1886 and was made an alderman in 1892. From then on he was often referred to as “the Alderman”. He donated part of the land on which the Middlesbrough central library was built and he officiated at the opening ceremony in 1912. The Alderman also contributed to the purchase of the land where Park Wesley Methodist Chapel was built in 1904. He was active in the temperance movement.” from Cleveland and Teeside Local History Society

Stanley M Hinton, Lieutenant 3rd, 8th and 11th Gordon Highlanders , Seaforth Highlanders,

Synopsis

Although Stanley’s 1918 discharge card states Home Service it’s not clear that he did not serve with the 8th Bn Gordon Highlanders in Arras in the spring of 1918. However, the war diary doesn’t mention him and so we can assume that he didn’t and that he developed Neurasthenia not from combat exposure but from some other situation.
