    “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.

Brigadier-General Cannan, who was visited during :he niorning by his divisional commander, General Motlash, obtained from him the impression that this advance \vas intended rather as a demonstration-to itnpress the Germans with the fact that their progress in that sector was at an end. Cannan accordingly put forward a plan, already prepared, for a patrol action. The 43rd, holding the higher part of the slope above the Soninie, would try to steal, by daylight patrols, the un- occupied portion of the knuckle in its front and possibly part of tlie nest spur, in front of Morlan- court. The ground so occupied would afterwards be consolidated Monash also visited General McNicoll, commanding his northern brigade. the xotli. and arranged for an advance on its front also.

  • Private Arthur Timmis 8629 1St Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers 9Th Brigade, 3Rd Division Died 1St April 1916
    Private Arthur Timmis 8629 1st Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers 9th Brigade, 3rd Division died 1st April 1916 Arthur Timmins, was born in the Autumn of 1883 in Hoobrook. He was the son of Henry Thomas Timmis born around 1847 in Hartlebury and Eliza, born around 1847 in Worcester. Arthur was the second youngest of nine children. The older siblings George, Emily, Ann Elizabeth, Alice, Helen, Rose and Frank were all born in Worcester while his younger sister, Charlotte, was also born in Hoobrook. Arthur’s family had moved to Hoobrook around 1880. They later moved to Mill Cottage Stone by 1891 and then to 57 Peel Street in Kidderminster by 1901. Arthur’s father was a Steam Engine Fitter and by 1891 his mother and elder sisters were all working in the carpet industry. Arthur’s first known occupation, in 1901 at the age of 17, was as a Brickhouse Labourer.2 At some point after this, Arthur enlisted in the 1st Battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers. His service number suggests that this might have been as early as mid-1902 but this is not certain. All that is certain is that in 1908 Arthur was in India. The 1st Battalion was based in Peshawar from 19053 and we know that Arthur was awarded the India General Service Medal 1908 for his service on the North West Frontier.4 In that year, Arthur’s regiment was involved in the Mohmand Expedition in the hills north of Peshawar.5 Arthur does not appear on the 1911 census for England and my supposition is that his regiment was still in India.

Cat. No.: V32-60/2004 ISBN: 0-662-68589-X Printed in Canada The poppy is the registered trademark of the Royal Canadian Legion. Canada-Belgium Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including online learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have died for these beliefs, and many others have dedicated their lives to these pursuits.

  • Surviving the Great War
    Surviving the Great War Australian Prisoners of War on the Western Front, 1916-18 Aaron Pegram BA (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University Research School of Humanities & Arts ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences 24 July 2017 © Copyright by Aaron Pegram 2017 All Rights Reserved 1 CERTIFICATION I, Aaron Pegram, declare that this thesis, submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Research School of Humanities and Arts, ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences, Australian National University, is wholly my work unless otherwise referenced or acknowledged. The thesis has not been submitted for a qualification at any other academic institution. Aaron Pegram 24 July 2017 2 Acknowledgements ________________ This thesis would not be completed without the assistance of a good many people. First, I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Bill Gammage at ANU, and Professor Peter Stanley of UNSW Canberra, who both gave endless advice on drafts, did their best to rid the verbosity from my writing, and were exceptionally patient while I completed this thesis part-time. I am eternally grateful to Bill, Peter and Professor Paul Pickering at ANU for their mentoring and overall efforts in making me a better historian. I would also like to recognise the assistance of Dr Roger Lee, Dr Andrew Richardson, Nick Anderson and the Australian Army History Unit for a research grant that allowed me to study the Western Front battlefields and carry out research in Germany in 2011.
