  • 16Th Infantry Division 47Th Field Artillery Camp Kearny, California Private John Leslie Banner
    16th Infantry Division 47th Field Artillery Camp Kearny, California Private John Leslie Banner John Leslie Banner, a son of Samuel Banner and Ellen Radford Banner, was born on November 5, 1896 in Upton, Utah. He was the tenth of eleven children in the family of seven girls and four boys. He entered the army on September 3, 1918 and was assigned to Camp Kearny, California where he was training in the field artillery. While training, he became ill with influenza and developed pneumonia. The military contacted his Mother and she traveled to Camp Kearny to be at his side when he died. Just before he died, he told his mother, “Tell the folks not to feel bad. I am one out of thousands”. He died on December 6, 1918. A military funeral was held at Camp Kearny before his body was shipped home. Funeral services were held at the Coalville, Utah cemetery and he was buried there. At the time of his death, he was survived by his parents, four sisters and two brothers: Mary Ellen, Elizabeth Ann, Lydia, Cora Leone, Samuel, and William Henry. He was preceded in death by three sisters and one brother: Frances Alice, Lydia May, Mabel, and Benjamin. During World War I, the 16th Division was renamed the 37th Infantry Division. The formation of another division designated as the 16th Division occurred in 1918 and was stationed at Camp Kearny, California. It never went overseas and it was one of several divisions in WWI that did not select an insignia. The Army has not designated a new division as the 16th since it was demobilized in March 1919..

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

    “Expect to like this great as it may be exciting.” The War Diary of Sapper John Popham Fotheringham June 1917 - January 1919 June 2009 Sapper John Popham Fotheringham served as a driver with the 9th Canadian Artillery Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery in France and Belgium from June 1917 to January 1919. His diary, on its own, is not particularly detailed, except in certain small parts. However, when meshed with the War Diary of the Brigade, and the history of the Canadian Army in action in World War 1, it becomes evident that Sapper Fotheringham was involved in some of the biggest battles of the latter stages of the war - Amiens, Cambrai, Arras - only missing Passchendaele as he recovered from exposure to mustard gas in September 1917. John Popham Fotheringham was born in Ottawa on May 19th, 1897 to John Turnbull Fotheringham and Mary Popham Fotheringham. His sister, Laura, was born two years later. His uncle, George Beveridge Fotheringham (father of cousin Lieutenant John Beveridge Fotheringham) served with the Ottawa Field Battery during the Fenian Raid of 1866. J.P. Fotheringham studied Applied Science at McGill University in 1915 to 1916, serving in the cadet corps with CCTC McGill. On August 24th, 1916, at Ottawa, he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force as a Sapper (Private) with the Canadian Engineers, being posted to the 3rd Canadian Divisional Signal Company. Following training, he left Canada on January 16th, 1917 on the RMS Scandinavian, arriving in England on February 6th. He arrived in Le Havre, France, on May 24th, 1917. He marched from the Divisional Rest Camp and joined the 3rd Canadian Divisional Company on June 9th, 1917.

  • CHAPTER S1V the First Attack on the 1St Australian Division's New Front At
    CHAPTER S1V THE BATTLE OF THE LYS-(11) APRIL llTH-%TEI THE first attack on the 1st Australian Division’s new front at Hazebrouck was made shortly after midnight of the 13th’ when a company of Germans came marching up a cross- country lane leading from Verte Rue to the Rue du Bois, across the Australian front. Behind a hedge bordering this lane was a Lewis gun post’ of Lieutenant Murdoch’s’ platoon of the centre company (Captain Fox’sS), 8th Battalion. The approaching troops, who were seen at some distance, were allowed to march without alarm to within twenty yards, when the Victorians blazed at them from every barrel, and continued to pour a withering fire into the Germans, whose survivors panicked and fled. Murdoch and some of his men went out and found a German officer and twenty men of the 141st Infantry Regiment dead, (Attack shown by artow.) and five abandoned machine-guns. Two nights later a sixth gun was found. The history of the I4rst I.R. (35th Division) states that on.ApriU 13, when the I and I1 Battalions of the regiment were held up after taking Verte Rue, the reserve battalion-the 111-was ordered to advance northwards on their right and seize Rue du Bois4 The battalion advanced in almost full force, with only the 10th company in reserve. “ Unfortunately,” says the history, “ no attack patrols were ahead of the front, and so it happened that, when the road had nearly been reached, machine-gun fire struck against the leading company. Many pressed back.
