On 11t1h June 1916, the 21st Battalion (2nd Tyneside Scottish) war diary records him as being temporally attached. On 1st July 1916 the Tyneside Scottish were tasked with the capture of La Boiselle during the Somme Battle. The casualties sustained by the whole brigade were such that the Tyneside Scottish was withdrawn from the line to be reconstituted. In August 1916, the Tyneside Scottish moved back into the line in the area of Armentieres. On the 7th September 1916 the Tyneside Scottish were relieved and moved into billets in the Rue Marle area. They were required to provide working parties to carry out repairs and construct dugouts. There were frequent patrols into No Mans Land to strengthen the wire. Portions of the line were in an appalling state, undefended positions having been blocked off with wire and obstacles. Orders were received that these positions were to be reopened and placed in a state of defence. Battalions were ordered to extend their lines to meet up with each other. This left a shortage of manpower, therefore the Battalion in support was called upon to supply carrying parties to deliver rations to those in the front line. It was on the night of 11/12 September, on one of those carrying parties that Second Lieutenant Catto to of the 23rd Battalion was shot through the heart, being buried in Erquinghem Churchyard the following day.

CHARLTON, Hugh Vaughan [2nd Lieut] Born 1883 in London, elder son of Mr John Charlton, the well known painter, 6 William St, Knightsbridge, London, and 24 Windsor St, Newcastle.

He painted Hugh and brother John sitting with their grandmother, the painting is lost. He did a Posthumous portrait of John that was exhibited in spring 1917. Hugh was in 1911 living 44 Beverley Tce Cullercoats, Tynemouth as a Artist Painter. Educated at The Mount, Northallerton. Alderham, School, Watford Herts. He studied at Armstrong Collage Newcastle, and joined the OTC while there, he obtained his commission August 1915. He went to France 13 March 1916. Was a artist of promise. The Yorkshire Post on 27 December 1916 published the total of his will £3858. Killed in action, struck by a bomb from a trench mortar. Obituary published on 1 September 1916 in "British Birds” journal (along with obituary to his brother John MacFarlan Charlton): LIEUTENANT HUGH VAUGHAN CHARLTON, N.F., fell in action near Whychaate, on June 24th, 1916, struck by a bomb from a trench mortar. He was thirty-two years of age, and joined the Armstrong College O.T.C., receiving his commission in August of last year. He, also, was a clever ornithologist, and the brothers worked much together, though Hugh's inclinations leaned towards animal painting, for which he studied in Newcastle, Edinburgh and London. Birds were his speciality; his work was very artistic, and he had a fine sense of colour and beauty in nature and in art, and was a sound critic. His paintings had already been hung in exhibitions in the cities where he had carried on his studies. One of his pictures, " The Home of the Dipper," was exhibited in the Royal Academy of 1912. As an officer he had earned warm tributes of affection from his Colonel and comrades : he devoted all his energies to his military duties, and, what makes his death doubly sad, is the knowledge that he had, a few days before, received an important appointment on the Staff. Both the Charlton's were keen sportsmen, taking special interest in wildfowling, for which they had exceptional opportunities on the Northumberland coast. It may truly be said of them that they would have shone in whatever profession they chose ; they were patterns of honour, integrity and gentlemanly character, as well as being charming companions. The writer deeply deplores their untimely death, a feeling that is shared by all who knew them, and lovers of natural history will regret that ornithology has lost two students of great promise. Their father is Mr. John Charlton, the well-known artist, of Knightsbridge, S.W., and Newcastle-on-Tyne. On their mother's side they were great-grandsons of the late John Vaughan, one of the pioneers of the Cleveland iron trade, and grandsons of the late Thomas Vaughan, of Gunnergate Hall, Middlesbrough.

CHARLTON, John Macfarlan [Capt.]. Born 1891 in Kensington, London, son of Mr John Charlton, the well known painter of 6 William St, Knightsbridge, London. John joined the Northumberland Yeomanry, Oct. 1914 and received a commission in the 21st in Nov. 25 01-Jul-16 http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/1543284/CHARLTON,%20JOHN%20MACFARLAN the same year. After volunteering in 1914, Captain Charlton trained with his battalion, the 21st Northumberland Fusiliers (Tyneside Scottish Brigade) throughout 1915. In 1916, the Brigade embarked for France and experienced life in the trenches on the Western Front in the early months of 1916. A few days before John was killed he wrote to a wife of a fallen soldier " Dear Mrs Welsh, I expect by now you will have heard of the death of your husband Corporal Welsh. I write these few lines to express my admiration of your husband. The day previous to his death, he held out with his section against the enemy and by rapid firing under heavy shell fire, he helped greatly in maintaining the position. I congratulated him on the way he had held on and he replied his motto was " never say die "I only wish I had more of his like in the company, and I want you to try and feel that in laying down his life as he has done, he has won the admiration and love of his, comrades and officers. My brother officers and myself wish to express to you our deepest sympathy to yourself and your children in your great sorrow. Yours Sincerely, J M Charlton, Captain. On 1 July 1916 the Northumberland Fusiliers were in the front line with orders to attack the German strong point of La Boiselle. At exactly 07.30 Captain Charlton and the other Company commanders led their men into No Man's Land towards the German lines. As the British troops reached the point of no return, machine gun crews of the Bavarian Infantry Regiment subjected them to withering fire. Despite heavy casualties some troops reached the German second line, but attempts to gain a foothold in La Boiselle failed. Captain Charlton and Captain Herries with 6 men were isolated in a crater and unable to advance because of heavy fire. They eventually obtained a machine gun and advanced. Herries reported how Charlton was killed. "For a while we did great execution but the gun jammed at a critical moment. Charlton was shot down while attempting to charge a German strong point and the initiative passed to the enemy." The 20th & 23rd Battalions, Northumberland Fusiliers had practically ceased to exist and only the remnants of the 21st and 22nd Battalions, some 200 men and seven officers, remained holding the line. After suffering great hardships, at midnight on 3rd July, these men made their way back to the British lines. The total number of casualties sustained by the 4 battalions of Northumberland Fusiliers was 2,438 killed, missing or wounded. The 21st Battalion alone recorded 11 officers killed, 10 wounded, other ranks killed 161, wounded 478. The survivors from the whole Brigade barely comprised one battalion and the Brigade was pulled from the line. He was killed in the attack on La Boisselle while leading his men, having assisted to capture the 1st & 2nd line in German trenches and about to attack the 3rd. His brother Capt. Charlton was killed in June 1915. He was Mentioned in Despatches on 13th Nov. 1917, over a year after his death. He had, at an early age, shown conspicuous ability in an illustrated essay on "The Birds of the Fame Islands, "while competing for the John Hancock prize of the Natural History Society of Northumberland in 1903, regarding which the late Canon Tristram wrote to him that he had had the duty of adjudicating upon the essays, and although Charlton did not win the prize, the Canon was so pleased that he gave him a special present for his work. In Dec. 1910 he won a special bronze medal given by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds [VOL. X.] CAPT. J. M. AND LT. H. V. CHARLTON. 91 (Public Schools Competition) ; in 1912 he wrote " The Birds of South-East Northumberland " for the Zoologist, which was later published in pamphlet form, with map and illustration. In 1913 " Notes on Norwegian Birds "appeared in Country-Side, and afterwards as a " separate "paper ; he also supplied British Birds with a number of interesting notes, commencing with Vol. IV., and wrote many short articles in other journals and local papers. He was a most skilful and artistic taxidermist, his methods of mounting birds in natural positions being, as a near relative of his observed, " equal even to those of my dear old friend, John Hancock," whose work both Charlton and his brother so much admired. The writer is of opinion that he would have made a great name, if he had been spared to continue his studies, in that branch of ornithology alone. As a soldier he had won golden opinions from his superior officers, and also from the men under him, and before the attack in which he fell, had already greatly distinguished himself, and been recommended for the Military Cross. He left £5, 737 in his will. CHARLTON, John Macfarlan [Capt.] joined the Northumberland Yeomanry October 1914, received a commission in the 21st in Nov. same year. He was killed in the attack on La Boisselle while leading his men, having assisted to capture the first and second line in German trenches and about to attack the third. His brother Capt. Charlton was killed in June 1915. He was Mentioned in Despatches on 13th November 1917, over a year after his death. DoD ! Jul 1916. Age 25yrs.

Mentioned in despatches, the following despatch has been received by the secretary of state for War from Filed Marshall Commanding the British Army in France. I have the honour to bring to the notice the name whom I recommend for gallant and distinguished service in the field. Gazette dated 1/2/1917 page 220 issue 29890 Duty France. Mentioned in despatches by General Sir Douglas Haig G.C.B., for distinguished and gallant service and devotion to duty. In Newcastle Daily Journal July 27 1917, Lieut-Col B.D. Gibson is in the 3rd General Hospital Wansworth London, for the purpose of recruiting his health. The only son of Col W Gibson, V.D. He went to France in April 1914 as a Major with the Northumberland fusiliers and later succeeded Col A.J. Foster in the command of the Battalion and the long spell of strenuous work at the front has brought on a attack of nervous exhaustion. Lieut.-Colonel Bertrand Dees Gibson, D.S.O., Northumberland Fusiliers, was killed in action on May 27. The only son of Colonel Wilfrid Gibson, V.D., of Hexham, Northumberland, he was born at Hexham in 1876, and was educated at Ushaw. He was admitted as solicitor in 1899, and was in partnership with his father at Hexham. He went out to France with his battalion in April, 1915, and was gazetted Lieutenant-Colonel the same year.

He married, in 1907, Margaret Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Collingwood Forster Jackson, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and leaves a son and a daughter. Lieut.-Colonel Gibson was a good all-round sportsman and a fine shot. For a number of years he captained the Northumberland County Hockey XI, and was a well-known lawn tennis player. Deploring his loss, the Hexham Herald says :—" Everybody who knew Bertie ' Gibson realized that he was a born soldier, who in peace time threw his heart and soul into the Volunteer movement, one who, when war was declared, sacrificed everything to save this country from the German menace. . . . Probably no sacrifice would have been considered too great for ' Bertie ' Gibson to make, and it would be impossible to exaggerate the loss of this splendid, virile, versatile; and patriotic Hexhamonian." Gibson joined the old 1st Volunteer Battalion in 1900, and after passing through the Musketry Course at Hythe, was appointed Musketry Instructor to the Battalion. In 1906, he became Hon. Secretary to the Northumberland Rifle Association. He obtained his majority in 1914, and went to the front with his Battalion in 1915, where he speedily rose to the command of the Battalion as Lieut Col., a position he held for nearly three years. He was invalided home last winter suffering from neuritis but returned to the front last April, and was killed leading his men on the 27th May last. His Brigadier General writes; - " He was the bravest of the brave and a soldier in whom I had complete confidence, and I have seldom met a man with more commanding power, greater determination or self confidence."

The night was exceptionally quiet. A rum issue was made half an hour before the assault. The Battalion HQ was at Pozieres Cemetery. At Zero hour 12:35pm the troops left the trenches and almost immediately the enemy’s barrage started on the front line, also considerable machine gun fire from the Moquet Farm and Zollern Redoubt. An inspection of the ground on the next day showed that many men were killed within 40 yards of the front line and some were hit whilst getting out of the trenches. The casualties in these operations were as follows: 19 Officers Patrick's C.O. later wrote to his parents ‘It would appear that your son was hit very soon after getting over the parapet and would not allow anyone to stop and bind him up’. 430 other ranks (approx.).

He has never been home on leave since proceeding overseas and had only been two months in France when he received his fatal wound. As a sportsman ‘Pat’ chiefly devoted his interest to rowing and as an active member of the BARC earned for himself a reputation as stroke in the fours. He took part at the local and North Country Regattas and was one of the most popular lads in the club. The sympathy of all goes out to Major & Mrs Grey in their great loss. A small picture of Grey accompanies the article Papers of Feb 1919 also refer to a plaque and scroll. Grey’s body was found on 29th Sept and buried by a fatigue party.

After returning he decided on a career at sea, he served an apprenticeship on ocean going sailing ships. During August 1914, his vessel narrowly escaped a German raider on route to Australia. Returning to England in 1915 he was offered a commission in the Northumberland Fusiliers, Tyneside Scottish, marked out for future promotion, he attended a course, at staff college, before shipping out to France in Jan 1916. The Tyneside Scottish were slated to mount an assault on La Boiselle, but 2 days before attack the British realized that not all enemy wire had been destroyed and that engineers would have to go out at night to destroy the wire before the attack could take place. A call went round for volunteers from 2nd Lieut Hall's Battalion to form covering party. Hall and 20 men volunteered and set out from the trenches at around midnight, but he was shot and killed by a sniper. His parent's received a letter praising him for his courage and it is said that 2nd Lieut Hall was to lead the attack next day as he CO believed 'nothing but a rifle bullet would stop him and his men would follow him anywhere.' London Gazette date 10 May 1915 Percy George Hall to be temporary 2nd Lieut dated 26th March 1915 Newcastle Royal Grammar Scholl ROH; HALL, PERCY GEORGE ('04), on leaving school joined the Merchant Service, and was at sea when war broke out. On his return he obtained his commission in the Tyneside Scottish in 1915, and went to France with them in January, 1916. In the early part of June the Brigade was moved to the front line trenches at La Boisselle in contemplation of the Somme offensive. On June 28th, 1916, it was found that German wire entanglements in front of their lines had remained untouched by our artillery fire owing to the formation of the ground. Engineers were detailed to go out at midnight to clear the ground of these obstacles, but previously a raid on a large scale was conducted by Tyneside Scottish troops which raised the German fire and activity. Volunteers were called for, to act as a covering party to the Engineers. Second-Lieutenant Hall immediately offered and was accepted, and the men of his platoon were eager to go with him. He made his dispositions so well that the operation was successfully accomplished, but while leading his men Lieutenant Hall was shot by a Sniper and died a few minutes later.

" He loved the open air, whether on a cricket field or on a golf course, on horseback, or with a gun.

Becoming Temporary Lieut in February 1915. In May he joined the Royal Flying Corps, and was granted his pilot's Certificate in June 1915, passing the Final Examination (Wings) in August 1915. He was appointed officer in charge of all the engines of his squadron. He was killed whilst flying, at Martin Mill near Dover, while flying on military duty. He was buried with full military honours at St. Margaret-at-Cliffe. His elder brother died in May. MILITARY AVIATOR KILLED AT DOVER. The first military fatal flying accident at Dover occurred early Tuesday morning, when we regret to report that Lieut. Geoffrey Brian Hobbs, of the Royal Flying Corps, aged 19 years, met his death owing to his machine falling to the ground at Martin Mill from a great height. An inquest was held at the Esplanade Hotel on Wednesday afternoon by the Borough Coroner (Mr. Sydenham Payn) as to the death. Mr. W. Wood was chosen foreman of the jury. An officer attached to the Royal Flying Corps, said that the body at the Military Hospital was that of Geoffrey Brian Hobbs, who was a lieutenant in the 10th Northumberland Fusiliers, serving with the Royal Flying Corps. His age was 19 years. He had flown for a total of from 45 to 50 hours, and had had experience of many sorts of machines. At about a quarter to six on Tuesday morning the deceased ascended in a Martinside biplane for a flight. This machine was new him, but it was in good order and had been flown the evening before by two different pilots. His time for flying would be about half an hour. At the end of that time a telephone message arrived from the waterworks at Martin saying that the machine had fallen to the ground heavily. Witness ordered the break-down tender and a hospital orderly to go at once. Witness went with the tender, and in a field to the east of the waterworks he found the machine which had been used by the deceased smashed on the ground, with the engine in the ground and the back doubled up as if it had come down head first. The deceased was pinned beneath the machine. The machine was lifted, and the deceased was cut clear. He was dead. The deceased was removed on a stretcher and taken on the tender to the Duke of York's Hospital. Raymond Champion said that he was the engineer in charge of the Martin Waterworks. A few minutes to six o'clock the previous morning he was in the yard, and he was watching a flying machine. It was flying very high —at least 3,000 feet — and was going straight along, when it suddenly shot round two or three times, and then turned over several times and fell to the ground. Witness heard the machine strike the ground, and he sent the message to the last witness, and then went to the place where the machine had fallen. Another officer of the Royal Flying Corps said that he gave the deceased instructions to fly on Tuesday morning and what he was to do. The machine was in good order, and had only been in use four and a half hours. It was sent out the night before for the purpose of seeing if it was all right, and it was reported by the instructor that all was right. Lieut. Hugh Roker Evans, R.A.M.C., stationed at the Duke of York's School, said that the body was brought to the Hospital a little before seven o'clock on Tuesday morning. He examined the body, and found that death had quite recently taken place. There was a very extensive fracture of the vault of the skull, exposing the brain. The left leg was broken — both bones. Death was caused by the fracture of the skull. The fall would be quite consistent with the injuries. The jury returned verdict of death by misadventure, and they wished to express their deepest sympathy with the deceased's relatives and friends. DoD 17 Sept 1915. Age 19 yrs.

Henry Knott was tutored at home in his early years followed by attendance like his brother James at Eton College. Morpeth Herald 18 Sep 1909; MOTOR CAR CASES; Henry Basil Knott, of Close House Wylam was charged with having driven a motor car through the control ay Seaton Burn, on Aug 28th, ata speed dangerous to the public. The police stated that the speed of the car was 22 miles an hour. A fine of £2 and costs was imposed. he worked in his father's business James Knott and Co/Sons and became a partner. Henry was particularly interested in the firm's coal trade department and was a regular attender at Newcastle Commercial Exchange on the Quayside, where he was held in high esteem by his colleagues. Shortly after the declaration of war Henry Knott applied for a commission which resulted in him joining the Northumberland Fusiliers as a 2nd Lieutenant in September of 1914 and undergoing training in England where he was promoted to Captain before travelling to France on July 15th 1915. Described as a most capable and popular officer and clever caricaturist, Captain Knott and the battalion spent the remainder of July and the early days of August being introduced to the vagaries of trench warfare before moving into the line on the southern edge of the notorious Ypres Salient. On September 6th the 9th Northumberland's were in the line at Bois Carre, a small wood close to the village of Vierstraat. It was here close to a position known as the Western Redoubt that Captain Knott received a bullet wound to the head resulting in him being taken by ambulance to Poperinghe where he arrived at 10p.m. where he died of his wounds at No 10 Casualty Clearing Station at Remy Siding at 1-40am on September 7th. "His loss is sincerely felt, and deeply mourned by all ranks" (War Dairy) His brother who died also Major J L Knott is Buried next to him he served with Yorkshire Reg. The Knott family were responsible for creating the Memorial Park, in Heddon, opened in 1925, in memory of the two sons who were both killed in action in the Great War: Major James Leadbitter Knott D.S.O. of the West Yorkshire Regiment and Captain Henry Basil Knott of the Northumberland Fusiliers. The file on Henry Knott at the National Archives reveals that his father Sir James received a letter in November of 1915 stating that his son was buried in "the new cemetery near Poperinghe" which is however seven miles west of Ypres where he lies today and the map references given in the letter equate to burial in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery very close to Remy Siding where he died so this would seem to fit in with the burial practice of the time. It is thought that in early 1920s Sir James Knott used his considerable importance and influence to get the bodies of his sons exhumed and moved to where they lie today side by side in Ypres Reservoir Cemetery. At the foot of each of the brothers' headstones is an identical inscription. "Devoted In Life In Death Not Divided" Just down the road from the cemetery stands St Georges Memorial Church built after the war the tower of which was funded by Sir James Knott and inside a plaque to his sons can be seen. The brothers are also remembered in their native north east of England on memorials at Cullercoats, Wylam and Heddon. Their father built and named the church of St James and St Basil at Fenham, as well as the memorial park in Heddon built in their memory and opened in 1925. DoD 27 Sept 1915. Age 24yrs.

He lived away from home and had a few landladies in his early student days - Mrs Kennedy in Houldsworth Street and Mrs Ogilvie in Gibson Street - before going home to Carluke. His record shows that he was more a persistent than a gifted student. The problem seemed to be Latin, a subject which had caused him a few difficulties even in the preliminary exams. Although he passed his exams in Mathematics in his first year at University, Logic and History in his second, Philosophy in third year, English and Political Economy in his final year, Latin seemed elusive. He passed just a month before graduating on 10th November 1909. No doubt glad to have conquered it, he went on to the Ministry. Andrew trained in the United Free Church and became an assistant in the West United Free Church at Hamilton. Later he was inducted to be Minister of the Isle of Whithorn Church in Wigtownshire. When war began, he could have avoided active service but chose not to. In 1915 he signed up as a Private in the Royal Naval Division.

He was gazetted Second-Lieutenant in March, 1915, to the 11th Battalion N.F., and went to France a few months later, From that time onward he was engaged in much fighting, not only through the autumn, but through a long and trying winter. At length, on July 7th, 1916, in the battle of the Somme, he went over the top for the last time in the third wave of a direct attack upon the German lines. He was struck by machine-gun bullets in the chest, and as he lay dying, just before losing consciousness, he said to a companion who survived, " Anyhow, we have taken the trench." It was thus he gave his life for his country. His Commanding Officer wrote : " He was a gallant lad and died a gallant death. He was a great favourite with everyone." He had taken the Collingwood prize on leaving the school. There was a memorial service held for him, in the Parish Church, The Rev H Haslam said "members of the congregation could estimate Lieut Taylor's life through seen him from day to day." There was also the evidence of the deceased's superior officers in letters sent to his father and mother. One said "Always cheery and brave, he was a fine example of a British officer, and was much loved and respected by all ranks. "His commanding officers wrote" He was a gallant lad and died a gallant death. He was a great favourite with everyone, and his lose will be felt by all ranks." Speaking personally, Mr Haslam said Lieut Taylor went to Newcastle Grammar School in 1904, and left 1916. During that time it had been his ( the preacher's) privilege to help to mould his character, Mr Haslam added that he followed Lieut Taylor's career from a small boy in the lower form until he became captain of his football team and captain of the school team and cricket club. he had seen him in some tight corners, and he was cheery, brave, and persevering. He became head prefect, and his good influence was felt throughout the school. On a vote of his fellow-scholars he got the prize on leaving as the one they considered worthy for true honest, straight dealing throughout his school. That was an excellent testimony.

Educated at Dukes School Alnwick. In January 1916 he joined the K.R.R.'s Yeomanry Battalion under Lord Feversham. He went out to the front May 1916 and was 21 26-Oct-17 http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/827559/THOMPSON,%20ROBERT given a commission in the field being gazetted to the Northumberland Fusiliers. He was awarded the M.C. in July for his ability and Daring. August 3, 1918. News has come from France to his parents Mr & Mrs Arthur Thompson of Warkworth giving details of how this gallant young officer met his death. In the late Lieutenant Thompson we have one whose example of courage and bravery was never wanting at any period in his Army career. When the call for volunteers was so great, he enlisted in the Yeoman Battalion of the King’s Royal Regiment under the command of Lord Haversham, in January 1916. He was drafted to France in May of the same year, and his ability soon gained him rapid promotion. In February of this year he was given a commission in the field, and was gazetted to the Northumberland Fusiliers with which he saw much fighting. He was awarded the Military Cross in July. The last letter he wrote home before going into action showed his courage and determination. In it he said: “ I will acquit myself like a man, and do as I have done before, play the game to the last, and if I fall, I fall. But if I come through, I come through once again, an honour to the regiment and to yourselves. In my sight there are only two ways – do and die; and if I do, mark my words, I do it creditably, and if I die, I die nobly. More than that I cannot say”. He did his duty and died, and a letter from his Colonel says: “He was a fine, young man. Warkworth and the Duke’s School have every reason to be proud of him. He won the Military Cross more quickly after coming out here than any officer I have ever had, and he met his death when fighting a plucky and scientific fight. We were attacking a wood, and his platoon met with severe opposition from a camouflaged trench which had not been before discovered. He set himself to attack it with his men according to his training. I was able to send reinforcements to his help, but alas, before they arrived he had been killed. He had an extraordinary nerve. Nothing seemed to daunt him, and the Battalion is proud to have numbered him amongst their officers. If I ever return to Alnwick, I hope to be able to personally convey to you the high opinion we all had of him”. That he was a favourite with all ranks will be shown by a letter of Private C. Elliott of Warkworth to Mr & Mrs Thompson. He says: “Robert was a good officer and soldier and was respected by all who had dealings with him. He died like the true British soldier which he was, and you have the consolation in knowing that his death was instantaneous”. DoD 26 Oct 1917. Age 21yrs. [Sources, Warkworth Memorial page.]

THORP, Robert Oakley Vavasour M.C. [Lieut] 4th son of Rev. W.T. Thorp Charlton Hall, Northumberland. Robert Oakley Vavasour Thorp (also written as Thorpe), was born in 1877 in Llangaron, Herefordshire. He was the fourth son of the Rev. William Tudor 39 22-Mar-18 http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/315901/THORP,%20R%20O%20V Thorp. His family home was at Charlton Hall, Chathill, Northumberland. He was educated at Berwick Grammar School and King's College, Cambridge, where he received a B.A. on 19th June 1900 and an M.A. on 19th December 1900. He joined the Berwick Naturalist's Club on 13th October 1904, and was, according to their History, “a good entomologist” and along with his brother formed a comprehensive collection of local specimens. He became a schoolmaster by trade, with a particularly focus on modern foreign languages, and worked at the Mercer's School, Holborn in 1901, at Pocklington School from 1901 to 1905, at Trent College in 1905, and at Scarborough College from 1906 to 1911. Whilst at Scarborough College, he was the Modern Languages Master. According to the school magazine, “he was a good all-round athlete, and was respected by all who came in contact with him, but only those who knew him best were able to get at the real depths of a character that was of the finest quality and true to the core.” He then went on to work as an Assistant Schoolmaster at Manchester Corporation School from 1911 to 1914 before joining the Army on the outbreak of the war. He enlisted with the Royal Fusiliers (Public Schools and Universities Battalion) in October 1914, and reached Sergeant before being posted to the Oxford School for Officers in 1916. He was gazetted later that year as a Second Lieutenant with either the 1st Battalion, the Northumberland Fusiliers. On 14th October 1916, Robert was involved in a raid on German trenches to secure important information about the line of the enemy's artillery. The raid included 2 officers and 47 other ranks. It was being led by Lieutenant Hadow, and Robert's role was to lead a “souvenir” squad on the right flank, consisting of one NCO and eight “bayonet men.” Two of the party also carried bombs in their pockets. When the raiding party reached the German trench, they found two German sentries on duty. One of the sentries attempted to attack the raiding party, but was wounded and taken prisoner by Robert. The other was killed as he tried to run away. Shortly after, the signal was given for retreat and the raiding party returned safely to the British trenches having captured one prisoner and sustained no casualties. The Fifth in the Great War recalls that “On this night, Second Lieutenant Thorp, whose conduct throughout had been admirable, had been given a first opportunity to show the high qualities of leadership which were to distinguish him on many later occasions.” For his part in the raid, in November 1916, Robert was awarded a Military Cross, and according to the Manchester Evening News “It is understood that the award of this honour is due to the part he played on raid to a German trench.” The exact citation reads “For conspicuous gallantry in action. He led a successful raid against the enemy with great courage and determination, himself killing two of the enemy and capturing a prisoner.” He was later invalided home with trench fever, but returned to the front lines in 1917, attached to the 64th Trench Mortar Battery. The 64th Trench Mortar Battery had been formed by 19th June 1916, and formed part of the 64th Brigade, 21st Division. When Robert joined the Brigade, Brigadier Hugh Headlam was the Commanding Officer. The symbol of the 64th Trench Mortar Battery was a dark green diamond in felt. Commemorated On: Scarborough College First World War Memorial Educated privately and at Kings College, Cambridge. At the outbreak of war he enlisted in the Public school and University Corps and went to the front in 1915. He served in the trenches in the winter of 1915. He obtained a commission in the Northumberland Fusiliers, after been twice wounded, and awarded the M.C. he was invalided home with trench fever. He returned to the front and was attached to trench-mortar battery. DoD 22 Mar 1918. Age 39yrs. [Sources, War Forces, Scarborough College WW1.]

WALTON, Harold Forster [2nd Lieut] Son of Joseph & Ruth Walton, Freelands, Alnwick. Lieutenant H.F. Walton. Killed. The flag was flown at half-mast on the tower of Hexham Abbey, and the tolling of the bell conveyed the mournful intelligence, that 2nd 23 11-Apr-17 http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/996807/WALTON,%20HAROLD%20FOSTER Lieutenant Harold Foster Walton, the only son of Mr J. Walton, Stat………, Hexham, had succumbed on April 10th to wounds received the previous day while leading his platoon in France. The sad news created a painful impression among the gallant young officers, many friends, and the deepest sympathy was expressed with his parents in the loss of their only son, a promising young man only 23 years of age. Lieutenant H.F. Walton was educated at the Duke School, Alnwick. As a boy he was chorister at St. Paul’s Church. His father at that time being station master at Alnmouth Junction. At Hexham he joined the Abbey choir and both father and son prided themselves upon being choristers in this voluntary choir which has the admiration of musicians from all parts of the Kingdom. Choosing the same career as his father he entered the accounts department of the North Eastern Railway at Newcastle, where his assiduity, and unassuming nature won him many friends. There was no doubt he was marked out for promotion and a prominent career on the North Eastern Railway system. On the outbreak of war he immediately made up his mind to respond to the call for volunteers, and on August 8th, 1914, became a Private in the Northumberland Fusiliers. Going to the front the following April he was engaged in several stern fights, but was always fortunate to come through unscathed. He returned in August 1916 and gained his commission some weeks ago, when he was a attached to another Battalion of the Fighting Fifth, and again went over to France. The news of his death on the battlefield so soon after came as a great shock. The commanding officer writes “He led his men bravely and helped materially in the very successful attack this Battalion made, which was carried through to the proper objective. When two thirds of the way towards the point we were temporarily held up and met with considerable resistance. Unfortunately at this point your son was hit through both legs, which wounds, I regret to say, proved fatal. He made many friends and won the respect of his men.” 5/5/1917. DoD 11 Apr 1917.

WINKWORTH, Walter [2ndLieut] Son of Walter Albert and Marie Louise Munroe Winkworth, of 22 Simonside Tce, Heaton, Newcastle. He was Baptised on 5th October 1882, at Hood St Methodist Chapel. On 1901 census he is down as a Electrical Engineer 32 26-Aug-15 http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/202303/WINKWORTH,%20WALTER Apprentice. By 1911 he is a Electrical Engineer. An active scoutmaster of the 19th Newcastle Troop and Divisional Scoutmaster for the East End Division of the Newcastle Association. Walter was also a Freemason and member of Lodge Temperance No "557, which held its meeting in the Old Assembly Rooms, Westgate Rd, Newcastle. He was gazetted to the 5th Battalion 3th March 1915. Walter was an associate member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers and the following is taken from Walters excellent Biographical sketch in the Institution of Engineering and Technology, Electrical Engineer's WW1 Roll of Honour. He proceeded to France on July 9 1915, with a draft for the 1/5th Battalion of his Regiment, at the time one of the battalions of the 149th Infantry Brigade of the 50th (Northumbrian) Division. This Division had crossed to France in the middle of April, 1915, and its 149th Infantry Brigade had, within a few days of its arrival at the Front, gone into action at the Battle of St. Julien (April 24 — May 4 ), where it had behaved splendidly in the crisis of the German Gas Attack. When he joined his new unit, his Division was in the Command of the II Corps, which then lay in the Second Army area, and stationed in the Armentieres Sector. His Division was at the time on the right of the II Corps front and made junction on its southern flank with the Canadian Division, which formed the left flank of the III Corps. Immediately to the north of the II Corps, the British line was held by the V Corps: on the front of the latter Corps, the enemy, from time to time, showed considerable activity (Actions of Hooge—July 19 and 30, and Aug. 9); otherwise, there was a period of relative calm during the later days of the summer of 1915. Raids and reconnaissance's were, however, being frequently carried out along the front held by the II Corps. On the evening of August 25, he was directed to carry out a night reconnaissance in the neighbourhood of Houplines, and accordingly led his Platoon out of the trenches into No Man’s Land to accomplish the duty assigned to him; whilst he was feeling his way forward the enemy put up flare lights and thus located his command. The Germans then suddenly opened a heavy machine-gun fire on his detachment and he was hit in the abdomen and the right arm. He was conveyed at once to the Military Hospital at Bailleul, where he succumbed to his wounds on the following day. DoD 26 Aug 1915. Age 32yrs.

Victoria Cross citation for Temporary Second Lieutenant John Scott Youll, 11th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, London Gazette, 25 July 1918. “For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty during enemy attacks when in command of a patrol which came under the hostile barrage. Sending his men back to safety, he remained to observe the situation. Unable subsequently to re-join his company, 2nd Lt. Youll reported to a neighbouring unit, and when the enemy attacked he maintained his position with several men of different units until the troops on his left had given way and an enemy machine gun had opened fire from behind him. He rushed the gun and, having himself killed most of the team, opened fire on the enemy with the captured gun, inflicting heavy casualties. Then, finding that the enemy had gained a footing in a portion of the front line, he organised and carried out with a few men three separate counter-attacks. On each occasion he drove back the enemy, but was unable to maintain his position by reason of reverse fire. Throughout the fighting his complete disregard of personal safety and very gallant leading set a magnificent example to all.” Second Lieutenant John Youll was killed in action on 27 October 1918 during the crossing of the River Piave under fire and was buried at Giavera British Cemetery, Veneto, Italy.
