  • World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District
    WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given.

  • Roads in the Battle District: an Introduction and an Essay On
    ROADS IN THE BATTLE DISTRICT: AN INTRODUCTION AND AN ESSAY ON TURNPIKES In historic times travel outside one’s own parish was difficult, and yet people did so, moving from place to place in search of work or after marriage. They did so on foot, on horseback or in vehicles drawn by horses, or by water. In some areas, such as almost all of the Battle district, water transport was unavailable. This remained the position until the coming of the railways, which were developed from about 1800, at first very cautiously and in very few districts and then, after proof that steam traction worked well, at an increasing pace. A railway reached the Battle area at the beginning of 1852. Steam and the horse ruled the road shortly before the First World War, when petrol vehicles began to appear; from then on the story was one of increasing road use. In so far as a road differed from a mere track, the first roads were built by the Roman occupiers after 55 AD. In the first place roads were needed for military purposes, to ensure that Roman dominance was unchallenged (as it sometimes was); commercial traffic naturally used them too. A road connected Beauport with Brede bridge and ran further north and east from there, and there may have been a road from Beauport to Pevensey by way of Boreham Street. A Roman road ran from Ore to Westfield and on to Sedlescombe, going north past Cripps Corner. There must have been more. BEFORE THE TURNPIKE It appears that little was done to improve roads for many centuries after the Romans left.

    Chris Butler MIFA Archaeological Services A Desk -based Assessment for Hurst Green Primary School, Hurst Green East Sussex by Chris Butler November 2008 Chris Butler MIFA Hurst Green Primary School, Archaeological Services Hurst Green Summary An archaeological Desk-based Assessment has been carried out at Hurst Green Primary School, Hurst Green, East Sussex, which has been proposed for the site of a new primary school. The desk-based assessment has established that prior to having the current school built on the site in 1862 it was used as a nursery garden. There is no evidence for any previous use of the site although there is evidence in the surrounding landscape for Roman and Post Medieval ironworking. The likelyhood of there being significant archaeological remains on the site is small.

  • Ww2 Civilian Deaths in and from the Battle District
    WW2 CIVILIAN DEATHS IN AND FROM THE BATTLE DISTRICT Records show that 17 civilians in or from the Battle district died as a result of enemy action in the Second World War. The total for the whole country was about 40,000. This otherwise peaceful area had no industries worth bombing but nevertheless suffered along with the rest of the country – though to a much lesser extent than most of the cities and large towns. This was partly due to its being beneath the bombers’ flight path when they rid themselves of undropped bombs on the way home. If in the First World War those who stayed behind in the Battle district were in negligible danger of an early death this would not be true of the later war: nowhere in the UK was safe from enemy attack, regardless of age – and our own dead ranged from 14 months to 77 years. Details are hard to find because the newspapers of the day were properly restrained from reporting anything that would give help to the enemy or harm local morale. However, the overall position is known from a report of August 1945 which, being unofficial, may not be wholly accurate.1 For the area with which this account is concerned the bombing was, in brief: Notes: HE = high explosive; unexpl = unexploded; MG = machine gun.

    ROTHER DISTRICT COUNCIL SALEHURST AND ROBERTSBRIDGE NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016-2028 DECISION STATEMENT1 1. Summary 1.1 Following a favourable Referendum result, notice is given that Rother District Council (“the District Council”), at its meeting on 9 July 2018, „made‟ the Salehurst and Robertsbridge Neighbourhood Development Plan 2016-28 with immediate effect; hence, it forms part of the statutory Development Plan for the area and, as such, is a key policy document in the determination of planning applications for development in Salehurst and Robertsbridge Parish.2 1.2 The „made‟ Salehurst and Robertsbridge Neighbourhood Development Plan can be viewed on the District Council‟s website at: http://www.rother.gov.uk/Salehurst-and-Robertsbridge-Neighbourhood-Plan and a hard copy inspected at the Town Hall, Bexhill-on-Sea. Also available is the Strategic Environmental Assessment Adoption Statement. Further details of the availability of documents are given at the end of this Statement. 2. Background 2.1 Upon application by Salehurst and Robertsbridge Parish Council (“the Parish Council”), as the qualifying body, the District Council designated Salehurst and Robertsbridge Parish as a „Neighbourhood Area‟, under Part 2 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, in April 2015. 2.2 Following consultation on a draft (pre submission) Plan, the Salehurst and Robertsbridge Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to the District Council in December 2016. The Plan and its supporting documents were publicised and representations invited. The period of formal consultation ran from 10 February to 24 March 2017. Independent Examination followed. The appointed Examiner, Mr. John Slater, undertook a hearing, on 27 September 2017, to explore issues notably surrounding the allocation of the Mill; flooding mitigation of the Mill site; the robustness of the SEA and site assessments; Local Green Spaces; and the allocation of and access to the Vicarage Land.
