  • Frank Percy Caudery Private 31218, 3Rd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Private 45649, 8 Th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment
    ! Frank Percy Caudery Private 31218, 3rd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Private 45649, 8 th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment Frank Percy Caudery was born at Wendover on 8 May 1892, the sixth and youngest child of Frederick Caudery, a butcher, and his wife Mary (née Minnie). In the Census Returns of 1901 and 1911, the family was living at Chesham Villas, Amersham. In 1911, Frank was described as a helmet maker, perhaps at the Misbourne Works of William Stone, which had a contract with the War Office for this manufacture in 1915. Frank married Amersham girl Ethel Stokes in 1912 when they were both aged 20. The following year, a daughter Gladys was born. Frank enlisted at Amersham with the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry but was then transferred to the Royal Berkshires, 8 th Battalion, (date unknown). The Royal Berkshire Regiment were generally known as ‘The Biscuit Boys ’ because the regimental depot, Brock Barracks was located at Reading, not far from the well known biscuit factory, Huntley and Palmers, who were biscuit suppliers to the British Army for many years. The 8th Battalion of the Royal Berkshire Regiment was a unit of one of Kitchener's New Armies created early in the war. It was in Chesham Villas, White Lion Road, Amersham Kitchener's 5th New Army, known, like the (Photo – H Garas 7 Aug 2014) others, by an abbreviation, in this case K5 "! which came into being on 10 December 1914. For most of their time in England they were linked to the 7th Battalion. They moved to huts at Sutton Veney near Warminster on 7 May 1915 after having spent most of the winter billeted in Reading.

  • Western Front
    Version 1.0 | Last updated 11 November 2015 Western Front By Jonathan Krause The Western Front, a 400-plus mile stretch of land weaving through France and Belgium from the Swiss border to the North Sea, was the decisive front during the First World War. Whichever side won there – either the Central Powers or the Entente – would be able to claim victory for their respective alliance. Despite the global nature of the conflict, much of the world remembers the First World War through the lens of the Western Front, in large part thanks to the success of Erich Maria Remarque’s classic, All Quiet on the Western Front. This article looks at the war on the Western Front from 1914-1918, its major events, battles, and strategies. Table of Contents 1 Introduction 2 The War of Movement 3 1915: The Early Trench Battles 4 1916: The Attritional Battles 5 The Somme 6 1917: The Year of Desperation 7 The British Army Ascendant 8 1918: The Year of Decision 9 Conclusion Notes Selected Bibliography Citation Introduction In many ways the war on the Western Front began as a fundamentally Franco-German conflict, and one with deep historical roots. The region had been of critical importance for French security for centuries. In the 1600s, Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1707) famously sought to design and build an interlinking series of forts (which he called the “pré carré”) to shelter France’s eastern border from attacks that might come through Central Europe. There is a longue durée concept of fortified defence running from Vauban through to the great forts that existed in 1914 (Verdun, Belfort, Toul) and the later Maginot Line.

  • The Allied Counter-Offensive in the Somme Sector
    USI Vol69 No2 Jun18_USI Vol55 No4/2005 31/05/2018 3:01 pm Page 14 CONTRIBUTED HISTORY PAPER The guns of August 1918: the Allied counter-offensive in the Somme Sector Marcus Fielding Royal United Services Institute of Victoria1 After absorbing and eventually halting the German spring offensive by July 1918, the Allies launched a major counter-offensive. On 8 August, 31 divisions – 6 British, 5 Australian, 4 Canadian and 16 French – and an American regiment, each supported by tanks, artillery and aircraft, began what would become series of attacks over several weeks in the Somme sector. Applying tactics that had been learned over years of war, they tore a great hole in the German lines and, by the end of August, had driven the German Army back to the Hindenburg Line – regaining most of the ground that had been lost to the Germans in their spring offensive. More significantly, the counter-offensive caused the German Army’s morale to collapse – an end to the war seemed near. Key words: Great War; World War I; 1918; Western Front; Allied offensive; Somme; Amiens; Albert; Bapaume; Montdidier; Noyon; Hindenburg Line. The German spring offensive, which began with free the railway lines that ran through Amiens from Operation Michael in March 1918, had culminated by the German shellfire. Foch agreed on a proposal by Field Second Battle of the Marne in mid-July 1918. By this Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, commander-in-chief of the time, the German superiority of numbers on the Western BEF, to strike on the River Somme east of Amiens with Front had sunk to a negligible lead which would be the objective of forcing the Germans away from the vital reversed as more American troops arrived.
