    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

    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.

He had been talking to Mr. R. J. Davis of White Cottage in Friars Road who recalled that when his home was redecorated a preventive officer's diary was found written on the wall. It recorded where he had been on each day to prevent smuggling and also revealed that the principal smuggling watch was kept from the top of the ruins of the Greyfriars Chapel nearby. Mr. Davis told Mr. Homan that the diary was found, 'a good many years ago'. Friars Road with White Cottage on the left. The girl in red is Lucy Goldie, W. M. Homan's youngest grandchild PAGE 2 WINCHELSEA’S PLACE IN THE ANNALS OF SMUGGLING Smugglers in Prison These pages are from the Winchelsea Gaol Book commenced in 1828 where full details about each prisoner are recorded by the gaoler. The first sixteen entries are those of smugglers whose offence is listed as 'Breech of Revenue.' The trial of these men took place in this room with the mayor and jurats sitting as magistrates. Their sentences were served in the cells downstairs. The cells as such no longer exist but if you look to the left of the steps that lead up to the Museum (Upper Court Hall) you will see the best remaining evidence that the lower floor of this building was a prison.

(580 mm x 450 mm) uneven Purchased, 1974 NPG 4980(6) © National Portrait Gallery, London Edward I cannot have had particularly fond memories of eastern Sussex after his visit with his father during the 2nd Barons War before the Battle of Lewes (14 May 1264) and its aftermath (the 1st Barons War vs King John was 1215-7). They had entered Sussex from Kent on 2 May and their first experience was an affray on the Kent-Sussex border, after which a severe reprisal took place. Carpenter says, '315 archers were beheaded in the Weald in the parish of St Mary, Ticehurst, in the place called Flimwell in the presence of the king … ' After this Henry III and Prince Edward moved on to the Cistercian Robertsbridge Abbey, where they were ‘entertained’, but they demanded 500 marks (1 mark = 2/3 of one pound or 13s 4d [67p). Converted to a 2016 value one mark might be equal to £650 today) to be paid to Edward to spare the monks’ lives. The next day Abbot Reginald of Brecon and the brothers of the Benedictine Battle Abbey went out in procession to meet the king and give him a loyal welcome, but Henry was still angry and demanded 100 marks from the abbey as he said that some of its tenants had been at Ticehurst. Prince Edward demanded another 40 marks.
