John William Cotterill was born in Rotherham on 7 January 1895 and attested for the 5th Dragoon Guards at Aldershot on 17 February 1913. He served with them during the Great War on the Western Front from 16 August 1914 as part of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, and was appointed Lance-Corporal on 20 August 1914. Posted as ‘Missing’ in the retreat from Mons on 5 September, he later became reunited with his unit. He was wounded by gun-shot to the right thigh on 13 May 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres, and following his recovery, he was posted to the 1st Reserve Cavalry Regiment and then, in February 1916, to the 1st Dragoon Guards. With them he remained at the front until April 1917 when he was repatriated as sick, and in October 1917 he was posted to the 4th Reserve Cavalry Regiment.
Cotterill was awarded the Royal Victorian Medal on the occasion of King George V’s visit to Aldershot on 25 May 1920 – probably for his services as a standard bearer. Promoted Sergeant on 12 November 1923, and Warrant Officer Class II on 17 November 1927, being appointed Squadron Sergeant Major on the same date, he transferred to the 4th/7th Dragoon Guards in India on 18 March 1929. He was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal per Army Order 208 of 11 December 1931, and was discharged on 16 February 1934.
Cotterill joined the Royal Army Pay Corps Special Reserve Militia on 10 April 1934, remaining with them until the outbreak of the Second World War when he was remobilised. He served throughout the war on Home Service, firstly in Manchester and then at Aldershot, being awarded the Efficiency Medal per Army Order 164 in October 1943. He was finally discharged from the Reserve on 19 February 1951, and died in Guildford on 28 November 1976.
