    ON 0UR DOORSTEP I MEMORIAM THE SECOD WORLD WAR 1939 to 1945 HOW THOSE LIVIG I SOME OF THE PARISHES SOUTH OF COLCHESTER, WERE AFFECTED BY WORLD WAR 2 Compiled by E. J. Sparrow Page 1 of 156 ON 0UR DOORSTEP FOREWORD This is a sequel to the book “IF YOU SHED A TEAR” which dealt exclusively with the casualties in World War 1 from a dozen coastal villages on the orth Essex coast between the Colne and Blackwater. The villages involved are~: Abberton, Langenhoe, Fingringhoe, Rowhedge, Peldon: Little and Great Wigborough: Salcott: Tollesbury: Tolleshunt D’Arcy: Tolleshunt Knights and Tolleshunt Major This likewise is a community effort by the families, friends and neighbours of the Fallen so that they may be remembered. In this volume we cover men from the same villages in World War 2, who took up the challenge of this new threat .World War 2 was much closer to home. The German airfields were only 60 miles away and the villages were on the direct flight path to London. As a result our losses include a number of men, who did not serve in uniform but were at sea with the fishing fleet, or the Merchant avy. These men were lost with the vessels operating in what was known as “Bomb Alley” which also took a toll on the Royal avy’s patrol craft, who shepherded convoys up the east coast with its threats from: - mines, dive bombers, e- boats and destroyers. The book is broken into 4 sections dealing with: - The war at sea: the land warfare: the war in the air & on the Home Front THEY WILL OLY DIE IF THEY ARE FORGOTTE.

  • History from Old Site
    I n the middle of the 19th century, following the introduction of competency exams in 1851, the need for pre-sea training was recognised for potential officers in the Royal and Merchant Navy. This led to a group of London ship owners founding the 'Thames Nautical Training College' in 1862. The Admiralty was approached for the loan of a suitable ship and was allocated the 'two-decker' HMS 'Worcester', a sister ship of the 'Trincomalee' (former 'Foudroyant') now restored and preserved at Hartlepool. At the time, the Royal Navy was starting to replace their fleet of 'wooden walls' with iron clad vessels. They had a vast surplus of such vessels and the 1473 ton 50 gun 'Worcester' was then laid up in the Nore. She had been built in Deptford Yard in 1843 and nearly £1,000 was spent on her conversion to a training ship prior to her being moved to her first base in Blackwall Reach. Within a year she was moved to Erith, thence in 1869 to Southend before finally moving in 1871 to what became a base forever associated with the 'Worcester' - the village of Greenhithe on the Kent shore and where successive ships remained until 1978. I ngress Abbey. Over fifty years passed before a permanent shore base was established in 1920, with the purchase of the Ingress Abbey estate which provided space for playing fields, offices, a sanatorium, laundry and a swimming pool. Starting with just 18 cadets, the numbers grew rapidly and there was soon a waiting list for entry. Official recognition soon followed - the Board of Trade allowed two years satisfactory 'Worcester' training to count in part towards a watchkeeping certificate, and in 1867 Queen Victoria instituted a Gold Medal for presentation annually.

  • Commander Steele VC RN
    Commander Steele VC RN (This is the title he wrote under for his book on HMS Worcester) This is a short precise of his life as was told to a Alan Coles in 1981 shortly before he died. Alan Coles was researching background for his book "Slaughter at Sea" published in 1986 ISBN 0-7090-2597-1 We all knew that he had won his VC in 1919 against the Bolsheviks at Krondstadt but very few Cadets or his staff would have known the full extent off his WWI and WWII experiences. He was involved in sad occurrence fairly early on in WWI which was sensationalised in both America and Germany for political gain when the 'spin doctors' of the time used the incident to sway public opinion. Gordon Steele was born in Exeter just before the turn of the 19th Century, educated at the Vale College, Ramsgate. His grandfather was a General in the Royal Marine Light Infantry. His father was Captain H.W. Steele RN and was the Captain Superintendent of the T.S. Cornwall moored of Purfleet in the Thames, from 1903 until he had a heart attack and died in January 1916, when Gordon Steele's mother became the Lady Superintendent until August 1916 ! Gordon Steel joined HMS Worcester in 1907, leaving in 1909 for an apprenticeship with P&O. During his time on the Worcester he was considered a brilliant student, he won the Howard Medal for Meteorology, and was second for the Kings Medal of 1909. He was award a P&O scholarship. He joined his fist ship the "Palma" a twin funnelled passenger liner of 7600 gross tons; finishing his cadetship on the "Egypt" an older passenger liner of 7900 gross tons, which after WWI collided with the French ship the Seine off the Ushant.

Pp.47-74 A very different experience: Merchant Seamen on British coastal convoys 1940-45 Coastal Convoys: Introduction and Literature Review Since the early 1940s academic and public understandings of the war at sea in Europe have been dominated by the struggle for control of the Atlantic sealanes. Images and narratives of U-boats versus the escorted, seried columns of merchant ships in carefully controlled and closely fought convoy actions in the Atlantic proliferate in media representations. The British Government’s belated decision in 2012 to award veterans of the Russian convoys a special campaign medal in the form of the Arctic Star had only minimal impact on public perceptions of the geographical confines of Britain’s sea war.1 While within academic opinion there is a very firm understanding that the war at sea, especially the merchant seamen’s war, was very different in the Atlantic, as opposed to the Mediterranean, Pacific and Arctic theatres of operation, one area of convoy operations in the Second World War continues to be seriously overlooked by both academics and the general public: the convoys which operated in UK coastal waters.

It represents an intensive study, interrupted by World Wars I and II and now since my retirement from the Army, it has been full time. In my first book there were three points of dispair, all of which have now been resolved. (I) The name of the vessel in which Andrew Hannay came to America. (2) Locating the de­ scendants of the first son James and (3) The names of Andrew's forbears. It contained a record of Andrew Hannay and his de­ scendants, and information on the various branches in Scotland as found in the publications of the "Scottish Records Society", "Whose Who", "Burk's" and other authorities such as could be located in various libraries. Also brief records of several families of the name that we could not at that time identify. Since then there have been published two books on the family.

  • The Executive Branch of the Royal Navy 1918-1939
    TO THE NADIR AND BACK: THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE ROYAL NAVY 1918-1939. Volume 1 of 2. Submitted by Michael Atholl FARQUHARSON-ROBERTS MA(Lond) MB BS FRCS (Eng) to the University of Exeter for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History October 2012. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University Signed: 1 This thesis is dedicated to Miss Macaulay, an inspirational teacher and head of history at Dorking County Grammar School. When I gave up the study of history to pursue a medical career, she told me that she ‘could have made a historian’ of me. I could not have completed this thesis without the help, direction and guidance of my supervisor, Dr Michael Duffy and my tutor Dr Maria Fusaro. Dr Duffy in particular has always had a very gentle, but firm hand on the tiller; he has been a truly outstanding pilot and helmsman. I am also extremely grateful for the assistance of Dr Trevor Preist, Dr Alan Wall and Dr Shaun Kilminster for specialist advice on physics, navigation and statistics respectively. I also thank for their unstinting support and assistance the various and many librarians I have consulted.
