Email [email protected] Page 1 THE MORANT MEMOIRS 1 12358 Private Fred Richardson The reason for my interest in this work is that my grandfather 12358 Private Thomas Frederick ‘Fred’ Richardson served with the 10th Battalion, the Durham Light Infantry (DLI) and was reported “wounded” in the Illustrated Chronicle published 24 August 1915 2 and the Durham County Advertiser 3 September 1915.3 Hubert Morant was the Commanding Officer of 10 DLI, and his memoirs provide a first-hand account of his experience at the front during the early months of his service. Private F Richardson served in the DLI between 8 August 1914 and 31 October 1916 but his service and pension records have not been traced therefore exact details remain unknown. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Background Context 21/22 May 1915 12-20 June 1915 24-29/30 June 1915 18-27/28 July 1915 30/31 July-6 August 1915 10-14 August 1915 This summary covers the first three months on the Western Front from May to the end of August 1915. BACKGROUND 4 August 1914: Britain declared war on Germany. Field-Marshall Lord Kitchener appealed for volunteers to form a new army. The men of County Durham responded in great numbers and the Durham Light Infantry was tasked with providing new battalions. The first was the 10th (Service) Battalion, formed at Newcastle on 22 August 1914, as part of K1. The battalion was attached to the 43rd Brigade, 14th (Light) Division. It was disbanded in France 12 February 1918.4 1 Durham County Record office (DCRO) D/DLI 7/1230/3 “My Experiences and Impressions since the Declaration of War” HHS Morant, the story of the 10th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry in the First World War by its commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Morant http://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/material/21/ 2 Photograph states “wounded” 3 Durham County Advertiser p.3 column G: “Pte F.

Initially numbered the 8th (Light) Division, it was renumbered the 14th (Light) Division as Regular Army units became available to create the division. By May 1915, the recruits were judged to be ready for action and the division moved to France 21 May 1915 to serve on the Western Front throughout the war.5 14th [Light] Division Prior to June 1918, the division comprised the following infantry brigades: 6 41st Brigade 7th Battalion, the King’s Royal Rifle Corps 8th Battalion, the King’s Royal Rifle Corps 7th Battalion, the Rifle Brigade (the Prince Consort’s Own) 8th Battalion, the Rifle Brigade (the Prince Consort’s Own) 9th Battalion, the Rifle Brigade (the Prince Consort’s Own) 42nd Brigade 5th Battalion, the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry 5th Battalion, the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry 9th Battalion, the King’s Royal Rifle Corps 43rd Brigade 6th Battalion, the Somerset Light Infantry 6th Battalion, the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry 6th Battalion, the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry 10th Battalion, the Durham Light Infantry Machine Gun Companies were formed in February 1916 and Trench Mortar Batteries in April 1916.

They arrived at Boulogne, France the same night.8 CONTEXT The advances of 1914 were stopped and the war of entrenchment followed along the whole length of the front from Switzerland to the North Sea. By the end of 1914 and beginning of 1915, the Belgian Army held the most northern part of the front line around Dixsmuide, the British shared the line with French forces around Ypres, within Belgian Flanders and into northern France and the French held the rest throughout France and a small area of German soil. The British, French, and German armies took part in battles, engagements, and skirmishes throughout the early part of 1915 in France from Givenchy in January, Neuve Chappelle in March, Fromelles, Rue de Bois and Festubert in May and Givenchy again in June. In Belgium, actions at St. Eloi on 14 and 15 March, and Hill 60 from 17 to 22 April, taunted the Germans into a great offensive later to be known as the Second Battle of Ypres. This battle raged from 22 April to 25 May and is most notable for the first use of poison gas by the German forces (22-24 April) and locally, the introduction of our territorial units of the 50th (Northumbrian) Division to the Western Front (22 April). The British replied with the first attack on Bellewaarde on 16 June, then a series of actions at Hooge to the east of Ypres. The 3rd Division was involved on 19 July, the 14th Division on 30 July, and the 6th Division on 9 August. This preceded the great British and French offensive at Loos which took place from 25 September to 8 October. 9 The Western Front from Belgium to northern regions of Pas de Calais and Nord, France saw the full might of the destructive capability of modern, industrial warfare and the losses of men and materiel were felt on an unprecedented scale. It is within this scenario that Kitchener’s volunteers, men of his New Army, the citizen battalions from areas such as the coalfields of County Durham marched on the 22 May 1915. 7 www.1914-1918.net/14div.htm 8 “The Durham Forces in the Field 1914-1918 Vol.2 - The Service Battalions of the Durham Light Infantry” Captain W Miles, 1920.

On 8 June at Bailleul, the battalion was employed in the construction of trenches and breastworks, then onto Canada Huts, Dickebusch, where they were shelled occasionally. They marched onto huts at Rozenhill and then the trenches near St. Eloi where they were subject to their own guns firing upon them.11 Welcome to the Western Front! 12-20 JUNE 1915: TRAINING FOR TRENCH WARFARE 12 12 June, 10 DLI marched to Danoutre where they were attached to the 46th (North Midland) Division for eight days of training in trench warfare. Here, Second Lieutenant Fairbairn was killed by a rifle grenade, seven other ranks (ORs) were killed and 13 were wounded. Later research records the following casualties: 14 June: 18914 Private C Forster aged 28 died of wounds, buried at Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension 13442 Private T Stalker aged 35 died of wounds, buried at Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension 17 June: 19458 Private J Blenkinsopp died of wounds, buried at Packhorse Farm Shrine Cemetery 19 June: 15188 Private P Welsh aged 30 died, buried at Bailleul Communal Cemetery Extension 10 Morant p.16 [DCRO D/DLI 7/1230/3 http://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/material/21/ p.33] 11 Morant p.19 [DCRO D/DLI 7/1230/3 http://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/material/21/ p.38] now called friendly fire 12 Morant p.20 [DCRO D/DLI 7/1230/3 http://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/material/21/ p.39], Officers Died in the Great War (ODGW), Soldiers Died in the Great War (SDGW), the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), Miles reports 21 casualties p.14 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ You can download this work and share it with others as long as it is credited, but you can’t change it in any way or use it commercially © Kevin Richardson.

This study looks in detail at those armed forces personnel from the Hillfoots towns of Clackmannanshire who died in the conflict. Over 550 fatalities with close links to the area have been identified so far. Of these, approximately 475 are commemorated on the local war memorials at Alva, Coalsnaughton, Dollar, Menstrie, Muckhart and Tillicoultry. The remaining seventy five or so may be commemorated elsewhere. In this study I have attempted to expand on the few details provided on the memorials to give a better understanding of the lives of those who died.

From the station turn left into M.Fochlaan and go to the roundabout, then turn right and continue to the next roundabout. Turn left and drive to the next roundabout and then turn right into Oude Veurnestraat. At the roundabout turn left onto the Diksmuidseweg, and follow the road under the motorway bridge; the Cemetery will be found on the right hand side of the road. Description : The Essex Farm Cemetery contains 1,199 burials including that of Rifleman Valentine Joe Strudwick of the 8th Battalion who died on January 14th 1916 aged 15 – one of the youngest fatalities in the British Army in World War I. The site was an advanced aid station from April 1915 until August 1917. It was here that Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae (1872-1918), a surgeon attached to the 1st Field Artillery Brigade in the Canadian Army, wrote the poem "In Flanders Fields" which remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. McCrae wrote the poem after treating wounded soldiers for seventeen days in the Ypres Salient during the 2 nd Battle of Ypres. He was particularly moved by the death of a young friend and former student Lieutenant Alexis Helmer from Ottawa who was killed by a shell burst on May 2, 1915.

  • 1 Private George Allen
    Private George Allen (also found as Alan) Butler (Regimental Number 3494) is interred in Sanctuary Wood Cemetery: Grave reference, V. M. 12.. His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a lumberman, George Allen Butler was a volunteer of the Thirteenth Recruitment Draft. He presented himself for medical examination on February 26 of 1917 at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury* in St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland. It was a procedure which was to pronounce him as…Fit for Foreign Service. 1 *The building was to serve as the Regimental Headquarters in Newfoundland for the duration of the conflict. It was to be on the day of that medical assessment, February 26, and at the same venue, that George Allan Butler would enlist. He was thus engaged…for the duration of the war*…at the daily private soldier’s rate of a single dollar to which was to be appended a ten-cent per diem Field Allowance. *At the outset of the War, perhaps because it was felt by the authorities that it would be a conflict of short duration, the recruits enlisted for only a single year. As the War progressed, however, this was obviously going to cause problems and the men were encouraged to re-enlist. Later recruits – as of or about May of 1916 - signed on for the ‘Duration’ at the time of their original enlistment. Only a few further hours were now to follow before there then came to pass, while still at the CLB Armoury on Harvey Road, the final formality of his enlistment: attestation.
