  • Cartwright, James
    Wellington Remembers 1914–1918 021 39895 Private James Cartwright South Wales Borderers Born on 5 June 1881 in Peplow, Hodnet, Shropshire Lived in Peplow; Eaton Villa and No. 12, Eaton upon Tern Died on 22 January 1919 aged 37 at Wolverhampton Buried in Wellington Cemetery; section 3, grave 1671 His story James Cartwright was one of 11 siblings. His parents, Thomas Cartwright and Mary Ann Porter, were married on 5 November 1860 at the parish church in Child’s Ercall. Thomas was a labourer living in Peplow and Mary Ann was a servant from Child’s Ercall. As the years passed the family stayed in the area, and in 1881 they were living at Peplow Cottages in Hodnet. Thomas was still an agricultural labourer, and five of the children were at home. James was born at 12.30am on 5 June 1881; the time is noted on his birth certificate because he was twin brother to Alice. In 1891 Thomas, Mary and seven of the children were still living in Hodnet, at Isle of Want. By 1901 James had left home, and was working as a cowman, living at Eaton Villa, Eaton upon Tern. It was probably here that he met Fanny Buttery, a general servant at the same address, and on 26 December 1906 the young couple married at St Michael and All Angels Church, Child’s Ercall. When the 1911 census was taken, James was living with his parents-in-law at No. 12, Eaton on Tern. He was working as a wagoner on a farm, and Fanny was visiting her sister Elizabeth Dorsett at Hoar Cross, Burton on Trent.

  • THE 24Th REGIMENTS LINKS with the COUNTY of WARWICKSHIRE
    THE 24th REGIMENT’S LINKS WITH THE COUNTY OF WARWICKSHIRE. A revision of the article of the same name from the Journal of the Anglo Zulu War Historical Society, June 1997. (Inaugural Edition). By Derrick Smart __________________________________________________________________________________ ‘Regiments are raised in troubled times’. The birth of the 24th Regiment was in accordance with this dictum. In the early months of 1689 William and Mary newly arrived from Holland, reigned uneasily over a country still recovering from James II’s determined bid to regain the throne of England in the revolution of 1688. That revolution led to war with Louis X1V’s France (Louis had championed the ill-fated James); and to fight the war it was necessary to provide troops. King William as was the custom of the times, sent off Commissions to the noblemen and landowners who supported his cause. One such Commission went to Sir Edward Dering, 3rd Baronet, of Surrenden in Kent. The Commission was acted upon at once. It was dated 8th March 1689 and by 28th March, the first muster was held and Dering’s Regiment became part of the Standing Army and thereafter named after the Colonel (1). The Royal Warrant of 1st July 1751 listing precedence gave the Regiment seniority as the 24th Regiment of Foot. The 24th formed a 2nd Battalion in Lincolnshire in 1756, which was used in 1758 to form the 69th Regiment of Foot. In 1782 they were re-titled as the 69th (South Lincolnshire) Regiment of Foot. The 24th Regiment’s 2nd Battalion was re-formed in Warwick in 1804 being disbanded in 1814.

B 5963 THE DRIVE ON CAEN | 1 Foreword by the Under Secretary of State for Defence and Minister for Veterans, Ivor Caplin MP In carrying out my responsibilities as Minister for Veterans, I have become aware of the importance of meeting the desire of the British people to find ways of expressing their feelings for those who fought – and in many cases gave their lives – during the Second World War. These booklets aim not only to remember and commemorate those who served, but also to inform future generations of their efforts and achievements. Their stories can only serve as an inspiration for those growing up now. I want new generations to be aware of the veterans’ sacrifices, and of the important contributions they made to our security and to the way of life we enjoy today. This, the fourth book in the series, commemorates the actions of Operations Perch, Epsom and Charnwood that led to the liberation of Caen on 9 July 1944. Caen, the ancient capital of Normandy, was a vital road and rail junction that the Allies needed to capture before they could advance south through the excellent tank country of the Falaise Plain.
