Matthew, the brother of Joseph Holroyd Hutchinson, was born on April 7th 1890 in Bishop Auckland. He was a joiner by trade and the 1911 census shows that he was single and living in Craddock Street with his parents. Matthew’s Service Record survives (unlike his brother’s) and it shows enlistment at the age of twenty four in 1914.
