  • The Original BAOR Divisions Closed Down

    The Original BAOR Divisions Closed Down

    The Original British Army of the Rhine Richard A. Rinaldi © 2006 The first British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) was created in March 1919 to control troops in the British occupation zone along the Rhine. The Armistice that went into effect on 11 November 1918 provided for British, French and American troops to occupy bridgeheads across the Rhine River. The new army had five corps, each of two divisions, and a cavalry division. Regular units (other than cavalry) were largely withdrawn from BAOR divisions as they formed, with few remaining even to May 1919. While some New Armies and TF battalions survived as part of BAOR, the divisions were reinforced or continued with a large number of former training battalions. See Note 1 at the end for a discussion of the sources and conventions adopted for this material. It is quite likely that details of artillery in particular are incomplete. Where a division retained its former brigade numbers, it may be presumed that the wartime battalions were gone in or before March 1919, and they appear only where they remained at least to April 1919. See Note 2 for a discussion of the ‘50-series’ battalions. BAOR began organized as follows: II Corps Light Division (formed from 2nd Division) Southern Division (formed from 29th Division) IV Corps Lowland Division (formed from 9th Division) Highland Division (formed from 62nd Division) VI Corps Northern Division (formed from 3rd Division) London Division (formed from 41st Division) IX Corps Western Division (formed from 1st Division) Midland Division (formed from 6th Division) X Corps Lancashire Division (formed from 32nd Division) Eastern Division (formed from 34th Division) Cavalry Division (formed from 1st Cavalry Division) This force began to contract only five months later, with four divisions (Highland, Western, Midland and Eastern) and three corps (IV, VI and IX) closing down by the end of August.

Are you seeking information regarding individuals who identify themselves as being Scottish regardless of where they live now, or people who currently have a Scottish address regardless of their background or country of origin? Please note that for the MOD Joint Personnel Administration, some of the nationality options an individual can record themselves as include ‘British’, ‘Scottish’ or ‘British Scottish’. I was mainly looking for those having joined the Army from a Scottish address as I’m looking at how many people located in Scotland join the Army. Further clarification is required concerning the second part of your request - please clarify if you want Corps and Infantry Regiment (In essence Cap badge) or Corps and Infantry totals. Please note that a proportion of those who joined the untrained strength in 2016 may still be in training. Yes please, looking for Cap Badge of entrants from Scotland should this information exist. Finally please confirm that you require the information for both parts of your request by Financial Years 2014, 2015 & 2016. Yes please, If the information exists for each year then I would be grateful for this. If this is significantly time consuming then 2016 would be sufficient.’ I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

  • Cartwright, James

    Cartwright, James

    Wellington Remembers 1914–1918 021 39895 Private James Cartwright South Wales Borderers Born on 5 June 1881 in Peplow, Hodnet, Shropshire Lived in Peplow; Eaton Villa and No. 12, Eaton upon Tern Died on 22 January 1919 aged 37 at Wolverhampton Buried in Wellington Cemetery; section 3, grave 1671 His story James Cartwright was one of 11 siblings. His parents, Thomas Cartwright and Mary Ann Porter, were married on 5 November 1860 at the parish church in Child’s Ercall. Thomas was a labourer living in Peplow and Mary Ann was a servant from Child’s Ercall. As the years passed the family stayed in the area, and in 1881 they were living at Peplow Cottages in Hodnet. Thomas was still an agricultural labourer, and five of the children were at home. James was born at 12.30am on 5 June 1881; the time is noted on his birth certificate because he was twin brother to Alice. In 1891 Thomas, Mary and seven of the children were still living in Hodnet, at Isle of Want. By 1901 James had left home, and was working as a cowman, living at Eaton Villa, Eaton upon Tern. It was probably here that he met Fanny Buttery, a general servant at the same address, and on 26 December 1906 the young couple married at St Michael and All Angels Church, Child’s Ercall. When the 1911 census was taken, James was living with his parents-in-law at No. 12, Eaton on Tern. He was working as a wagoner on a farm, and Fanny was visiting her sister Elizabeth Dorsett at Hoar Cross, Burton on Trent.
