History of the Aldershot Branch, Rsa
HISTORY OF THE ALDERSHOT BRANCH, RSA Edition 2, June 2020 The author acknowledges with grateful thanks the considerable help received in compiling the military history content of this update. Paul Vickers, Chairman, Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum, generously provided much detailed information on Aldershot Garrison aspects. The story of the formation of C Troop was drawn from the research work of branch member, David Mullineaux, written up in the Royal Signals Institution Journal of Spring 2010. Branch Committee Member, Neville Lyons not only provided the lists of events and talks but also proof read the whole document and made valued suggestions on presentation. Historical Background There has been a strong link between Aldershot and the evolution of modern Army signalling ever since the establishment of the first Royal Engineers Telegraph Troop there in 1871. As the technology developed, so did the number of units both in Aldershot and worldwide with the result that at the end of the Great War there were 70,000 men serving in the Royal Engineers Signal Service. This led in 1920 to the formation of the Royal Corps of Signals which has maintained a continuous link with the Town and Garrison of Aldershot to this day. The full story of this evolutionary process is set out in a further new paper entitled “Aldershot: the Cradle of Army Signalling.” The technical and organisational details given there are separate from the history of the Association branch but there is a connection between the two stories which was particularly close in the early years of Royal Signals because of the units and individuals involved. -

Beatrice Louisa Sturmey
Beatrice Louisa Sturmey Born 26th December 1879, birth registered in Sturminster, Dorset. In 1881 the census showed her being born in Fifehead, Dorset as they the daughter of James Sturmey, a carter, and his wife Lucy and they were living in Winterbourne St Martin. Other family members were: Mary E (age 11) Annie M (age 7) Ida M (age 3) 1n 1891, the family was living at Wareham Road, Poxwell and Ida and Mary were no longer part of the household. The household now included Florence (age 3) William (aged 2) and a lodger Walter Harris aged 21 In the 1901 census the family was recorded as living in Affpuddle and the only sibling to Beatrice now shown is Francis W aged 12 and the only other member of the household is Beatrice’s daughter Elsie May, then aged 2. Beatrice and her daughters Elsie and Lilian are recorded living in the Poole Workhouse in the 1911 census. Beatrice Sturmey is recorded as dying in 1939 and a death certificate confirms her death on 26th September 1939 at the age of 59. This ties in with a birth in 1879 and no other Beatrice Sturmey is recorded at that time anywhere. There was only one Beatrice Sturmey in the census returns for 1881, 1891 and 1901. Beatrice was, according to an Identity card issued in Poole, working as a Domestic Nurse in 1913 in the Waterloo district of Poole. Beatrice had another daughter Lilian Louisa whose birth was registered in Wareham in 1906. Only one Lilian Sturmey was recorded anywhere in the country. -

Blandford's Contribution to World War
BLANDFORD'S CONTRIBUTION TO WORLD WAR TWO compiled by M.J. Le Bas 2020 7.12 BLANDFORD PREPARES FOR WAR With war looming in 1939, Blandford Camp was reactivated a s a t r a i n i n g c e n t r e f o r reservists called up, and for new r e c r u i t s s e e n here. Many new huts were built for accommodation, as most of the huts from WW1 had long since been demolished or sold on. Some became the huts for the Blandford Scouts in Eagle House Gardens. INVASION? In 1940, Blandford received prominence when Prime Minister Churchill declared Blandford must become 'a strategic tank island to be defended at all costs'. This was in response to the threat of German invasion after the Fall of France in May. The German plan, one of many, was to land in August 1940 on the Dorset Coast “Operation Sealion”, and strike northward rapidly to the Bristol Channel, thereby capturing Blandford featured strongly in the German at a stroke the ports of Devon and plans. It lay on one of three routes the German Cornwall and enabling the landing Army would have taken, the others being of German forces unopposed. Maiden Newton and Fordingbridge, with Blandford and the crossing of the River Stour at it's bridge, being the most advantageous route. LOCATION ? . In order to confuse the invaders, town signs were ordered to be removed, here in particular the word BLANDFORD that was prominently displayed on street and sewer drain covers, and on the charity boards in the Parish Church. -
