Roll of Honour 1914-1918 Saturday 10Th November 2018 Roll of Honour 1914-1918 Saturday 10th November 2018 A tribute to the people of Marlborough and their part in the Great War. Hosted by Marlborough Town Council with proceeds going to The Royal British Legion The Great War The Great War as it was known in the period before the 2nd World War broke out in August 1914. It moves the young and the not so young beyond their understanding. It was a war where generals accepted casualties in tens of thousands, but we know each casualty was a known and loved individual. This is the story and tribute to the men (and women) who served and sacrificed their lives from one small town in Wiltshire. 302 Company lorries parked in Marlborough. The road surface appears to be in a dreadful state. No 3 Section, 302 Company, on the march.

Welsh Regiment Roll of Honour Volume 111 France August 1914 – April 1917 Clan Chisholm Society Roll of Honour Vol III France August 1914-April 1917 Page 1 Issue 1 Foreword Clan Chisholm Society. Introduction to WW1 Memorial volumes. My great aunt Miss Mairi Chisholm of Chisholm was naturally legendary in the family as I was growing up. A copy of 'The Cellar House at Pervyse' was to be found in our sitting room and often referred to. We were proud of her war-time reputation and of the many medals she had been awarded due to her work in WW1. She was of course also a loving aunt to my father, Chief Alastair. Less well known was her beloved brother Uilean Hamish McUistean, my grandfather, who served during World War I in Palestine and Egypt. Uilean had resigned his position in the Trinidad Constabulary in 1915 and enlisted as a 2nd Lieutenant with the British West India Regiment. Photograph albums and other memorabilia from his time in Palestine reminded us of his war service. World War One therefore, although distant in time, was a current topic of conversation within the family during my childhood and beyond. The scale of the 1914 - 1918 war and the huge loss of life was well known and the topic was and is covered in the educational curricu- lum in Britain. Both Mairi and Uilean returned to their families, so many did not. Travelling through Belgium for the unveiling of a statue in Ypres to honour Elsie Knocker and Mairi's work and attending the nightly ceremony at the Menin Gate brought home to me even more so the sacrifice made by so many.

    1 BATTLE & DISTRICT HISTORICAL SOCIETY baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaac THE ROYAL SUSSEX REGIMENT IN WORLD WAR I Matthew Jones 20 March 2014 This lecture was originally scheduled for 20 February 2014. However Mr Jones kindly agreed to swap dates due to the speaker for ‘To The Manor Born …’ becoming unavailable.. ‘Lowther’s Own Marching Song’1 1. Refrain Oh the Sussex boys are stirring For the Sussex stock is staunch In the wood-land and the Down; And the Sussex blood is true, We are moving in the hamlet, And the Sussex lads are keen We are rising in the town; When there’s soldier’s work to do. For the call in King and Country Hear us tramp, tramp, tramp Since the foe has asked for war, ’til the county is a camp, And when danger calls or duty And we start the little business We are always to the fore. We have sworn to carry through. 2. We have come from shop and sheepfold, We have come from desk and store, We have left our peaceful callings To be taught the trade of war; For our hearths, and homes, and honour As a bulwark we will stand, Fighting hard for England’s glory And the pleasant Sussex land. repeat refrain 3. Oh we know that we are wanted, And we know the risk we run, But we wouldn’t think of shrinking When there’s duty to be done. We would go if others shirked it And we had to go alone For the honour of our country And our pride in “Lowther’s Own.” repeat refrain Mr Jones is Assistant County Archivist at the West Sussex Record Office, which houses the regimental archive of our county regiment and we were delighted to welcome him for an interesting and at times deeply moving insight into the regiment and lives of some of its men.
