    Private Arthur Phillip FLUNDER Service Number: 16708 11th Battalion (Cambridge Pals) The Suffolk Regiment Died 1st July 1916 Commemorated on Thiepval Memorial Pier and face 1C and 2A WW1 Centenary record of an Unknown Soldier Recruitment – 11th Battalion Suffolk Regiment – Suffolks/Cambs – (Cambridge Pals) Private Arthur FLUNDER was a member of the 11th Suffolks, which was a service battalion known as the Cambs/Suffolks or Cambridge Pals. At the outbreak of the war, men of the County enlisting for Infantry were sent to the Suffolk Regiment Depot at Bury St Edmunds. This soon became overcrowded and a relief camp was formed in Cambridge. Battle of the Somme The plan was for the British forces to attack on a fourteen-mile front after an intense week-long artillery bombardment of the German positions. Over 1.6 million shells were fired, 70 for every one metre of front, the idea being to decimate the German Front Line. Two minutes before zero-hour, 19 mines were exploded under the German lines. Whistles sounded and the troops went over the top at 7.30am. They advanced in lines at a slow, steady pace across No Man's Land towards then German front line. Objective 9 – La Boisselle – The Somme - See fig 1. Attack on La Boisselle Private Arthur FLUNDER and the 11th Suffolks were assigned Objective 9, an attack on the village of La Boisselle. The village of La Boisselle was of huge strategic importance as it would open up the road to Bapaume. This would allow the Allies to attack Poziers, the next town further up the road then from there, Thiepval.

First raised as the 2nd Battalion of the 8th Regiment of Foot in 1756, it was reconstituted as a regiment in its own right in 1758 as the 63rd Regiment of Foot. From 1782-1881 it was known as the 63rd (West Suffolk) Regiment of Foot. During the 1820s the regiment was mainly stationed in Ireland, Portugal and England. A decision was made to transfer the regiment to Australia and advance contingents were sent out during 1828 and 1829. The Headquarter Company arrived in Sydney on 18 February 1830 and after landing its convict charges it sailed onto Tasmania where it was joined by the remainder of the regiment during the following month. Five Companies of the regiment embarked from Hobart in February 1833 for Madras, India and others sailed the following month. Records Used The original records dealing with the regiment are held in the War Office series at the National Archives (TNA) in Kew, England. Records relating to the regiment's period in Australia were filmed under the Australia Joint Copying Project (AJCP) and are available in major libraries in Australia. The Pay Lists in from those records are what has been used to extract

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SUFFOLK REGIMENT ASSOCIATION Records, 1972-74 Reel M973 Suffolk Regiment Association The Keep Gibraltar Barracks Bury St Edmunds Suffolk IP33 3RN National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1976 HISTORICAL NOTE The Suffolk Regiment was raised by the Duke of Norfolk in 1685 to combat the Monmouth Rebellion and comprised men from the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. Originally known as the Duke of Norfolk’s Regiment of Foot, it was renamed the 12th Regiment of Foot in 1751. In 1782 it was called the 12th (East Suffolk) Regiment of Foot and in 1880 it became the 12th (Suffolk) Regiment. It saw action in Ireland (1689-91) and in Europe in the War of Austrian Succession (1742-45) and the Seven Years War (1758-62). During the Napoleonic Wars it served in the West Indies, India and Mauritius. In 1854 the 1st Battalion of the 12th Regiment sailed to Australia, where it was based at Sydney. Shortly after its arrival, a detachment was sent to Port Phillip and it took part in the fighting at the Eureka Stockade in Ballarat on 3 December 1854. During their time in Australia, soldiers of the 12th Regiment often acted as convict guards. In April 1860 two companies of the 12th Regiment and half a battery of artillery were sent to New Zealand, where they served under Major General Thomas Pratt in fighting against Maori forces. In 1862 the headquarters of the battalion were transferred to Auckland and the remaining companies moved from Australia to New Zealand.

    The above photo, from the Illustrated War News of September 1915, exposes how many cameras of that era were unsuited to action shots, but the caption suggests another reason, that the photographer realised the batsman had an eye on hitting the ball into his stomach!

  • The Suffolk Regiment Archive
    The Suffolk Regiment Archive NB: This collection is housed at the Bury St Edmunds Record Office. When ordering documents from the collection all references (e.g. A14/8) should be prefixed with GB 554/ BRIEF HISTORY OF THE REGIMENT The regiment was raised in 1685 by Henry, Duke of Norfolk and was known in its early years by the name of its current Colonel. In 1751, when regiments were given numbers to mark their seniority, it was designated the 12th Regiment of Foot. It became the 12th, or East Suffolk Regiment in 1781 and the Suffolk Regiment in 1881. Except for two brief periods the regiment had one battalion until 1842, when a Reserve Battalion was created, which became the 2nd Battalion in 1858. There were two Territorial battalions - the 4th (1908-1961) and 5th (1908-1921, 1939-1945) - and during the two World Wars further 'Service' battalions were created. In 1947 the 2nd Battalion was disbanded and in 1959 the remaining Regular battalion, the 1st, was amalgamated with the Royal Norfolk Regiment to form the 1st East Anglian Regiment; this in turn merged with other regiments in 1964 to form the Royal Anglian Regiment. PRINTED HISTORIES The Suffolk Regiment by G Moir (1969) is a brief single-volume history while The Old Dozen: A Century of Photographs (2002) relates the history of the regiment since the 1860s through photographs. However the four official histories provide the best general overview of the regiment’s activities. These books should be the starting-point for any research into the regiment's history or the background of any individual soldier's service.
