I have his autobiogrpahy: "Flotsam's Follies: The Autobiography of B.C. Hilliam". London: Arthur Barron Ltd., 1948. He was in BC from I think 1905 to 1914, when he became a sapper in the Canadian Engineers. While here, he made quite a few local songs, including "Lottie Has Lots and Lots of Lots" about the real estate boom in pre-war Vancouver.
