Son of William Arthur and Charlotte Catherine Birch Johnstone Hutchinson, of Rooi Vaal, Harding, Natal, South Africa. Captain Hutchinson was originally buried between the two original front lines from before the battle, just to the south of the Hulluch Road but his final resting place was either lost or disturbed as he is now remembered on the Loos Memorial to the missing. ref.
