This record appears in the Appendix on page 134. THE FIGHTING TERRITORIALS VOL. II INTRODUCTION The Battle of Loos has been declared on competent authority to be '* by far the greatest battle ever fought in ' British history. ' It lacked some of the dramatic features of earlier engagements, such as the second battle of Ypres, and it failed of its full purpose by reason of the late arrival of reserves from the New Army, the 24th and 21st Divisions. But no one, least of all the enemy, questions the conspicuous dash and valour of the 150,000 infantry engaged, and it is our especial pride in the following narrative to record the part taken by the London Terri- torials. The 47th (London) Division was on the right of the gallant 15th Division, while the ist Division was on its left, the three divisions forming the 4th Corps to which the main attack was allotted. By all accounts, official and journalistic, the 47th Division even added to the renown which the London Territorials won in earlier phases of the present war. Had adequate support been forthcoming to take over their winnings, there would probably not be a German soldier in Loos or Lille to-day, and the end of the German possession of Northern France and Belgium would have been brought within reasonable distance. As it is, we have the satisfaction of knowing that London Territorial troops took their full share in sweeping through the lines and taking guns and prisoners from the army which had been the conquerors of three 8 Introduction great wars, the army of the hitherto invincible Prussian war machine. In an earher volume were recorded the doings of eleven London Territorial units; the H.A.C., the London Rifle Brigade, the ''Shiny Seventh," the P.O. Rifles, Queen Victoria's Rifles, Rangers, Kensingtons, London Scottish, Civil Service Rifles, Queen's Westminsters, and "Old Loyals." The tale of the London Regiment is continued in the present volume, covering the salient doings of the other London Territorial regiments. The narrative includes many stirring incidents of war in addition to the Battle of Loos. There is, for instance, the charge of the 3rd Londons at Neuve Chapelle. We see how, leaping over the slain strewn about the fields, they made a great bayonet charge, being cheered as the}' went by the Regular troops who witnessed their gallantry. The Germans fell before them, and as evening closed in they dug themselves in on the new lines they had won. *' As time goes on," said Sir John French of the Territorials after the fight, " I am still further impressed with their value; Several battaUons were engaged in the most critical moments of the heavy fighting, and they acquitted themselves with the utmost credit." In the hard fighting at Ypres the 4th Londons—most of them Hoxton men—were prominent in support of the 2nd Army, which was being sorely pressed. After a forced march of a score of miles they entrenched them- selves during the night, and the following day, under a heavy bombardment, at close range, carried out their attack as if on parade. On these and other occasions the London Territorials proved themselves as brave as they are capable, and in the less dramatic but not less essential work of keeping the line of trenches they have shown that they are the equals of the men of the Regular Army—and what higher praise than that could any troops desire ? "I — Introduction 9 would," said a General Officer of wide experience, " ask them to go anywhere and trust them to get there." Yet only a few months ago these young men were the clerks and warehousemen of London Town. With a pubHc spirit which has yet to receive its full record of recognition, many of them had for years devoted leisure hours to such military tasks as the Territorial force was permitted to undertake. But for their devotion to this pubUc duty the fate of England would have been grave indeed in the days which succeeded the retreat from Mons and preceded the creation of the New Army. They filled the gap and held the line. They were the men who before the war wore their black coats and white collars, and divided their lives between quiet suburban homes and offices and shops of the Metropolis, without a thought that all this was but a prelude to participation in the world's direst melodrama of blood and death. Very many of them, as Mr. Philip Gibbs has said in his war correspondence from the Flanders front •' pushed through the swing-doors into Government offices and did a few hours of leisurely and futile work about elementary schools and Board of Trade returns and had games of dominoes on tea-shop tables and discussed books and plays and the ideals of human progress and the suffragette problem and the Territorial system, till suddenly everything broke and England called upon her men of fighting age, and there happened—this ! '"Do you think fellows of your kind—men who have done clerical work—can stick it out as well as mechanics and agricultural labourers and men of outdoor hfe not requiring much head work.' " ' It looks hke it,' said one of them simply. ' The Londoners did all right at Loos. On the whole our nerves are steady enough under bombardment, though we don't like it any better than other people. Pride helps—London Pride." There are many well-to-do men in the ranks. The other day, Mr. Gibbs narrates, a private soldier, acting as orderly, waited upon an officer who had been his solicitor and had been glad to get his business. In some of the 10 Introduction battalions university men march shoulder to shoulder with actors, music-hall singers, commercial travellers, and shop assistants. All the types of London life are here in the ranks, and it is " London pride " that makes them good fighting men, quick to learn, and cool in action. The task of a recorder of regimental doings while the war is still in progress becomes increasingly difficult by reason of necessary military restrictions and the large scope of the operations of modern conflict. Nothing in the way of war history can be attempted now. But what could be gathered from the headquarters of each unit and from actual combatants is here set down in a spirit of sincere admiration and a renewed faith in the high qualities of the London man. The writer's personal association with two Territorial units prompted this effort, and added to its pleasure. Again cordial thanks are tendered to many enthu- siastic friends and members of the London Territorial Force, and also to Mr. A. B. Tucker for his aid in the arduous task of gathering authentic information from so many widely scattered sources. Percy Hurd. May 191 6.

  • James Anthony Horne 2Nd Lieutenant, 16 Th Battalion London Regiment (Queen’S Westminster Rifles) !
    ! James Anthony Horne 2nd Lieutenant, 16 th Battalion London Regiment (Queen’s Westminster Rifles) ! James Anthony Horne was born on 3 August 1892 and was baptised on 1 September that year in the Parish Church of St. James, Islington. The ceremony was performed by James’s father the Reverend Joseph White Horne, Vicar of St. James at that time. The family address is given as St. James Vicarage, Islington. In 1901 Joseph became Vicar at St. Mary Magdalene, Monkton, Kent, and the family, by this time including three children, took up residence in the Vicarage there. The Census of that year shows a nurse (domestic), a cook and two housemaids also resident at the Vicarage so the family obviously had plenty of help and lived in some comfort. Their stay in Monkton was fairly short however, and by 1905 they were living at Ivy House, High Street, Highgate, North London, where they were to remain until the outbreak of the war. They moved once more to reside briefly at Chesham Bois, Buckinghamshire, with Joseph by that time being retired, but returned to London, firstly to Highgate and subsequently to Kensington where he was to live out the remainder of his life. James received his secondary school education at Highgate School which he entered in September 1904. He left in July 1910 having been awarded a Choral Exhibition to Christ’s College, Cambridge. He studied there for four years gaining honours in both parts of the Theological Tripos and being awarded his B.A. Degree. As one would expect, he had a fine voice and he regularly performed as a member of a vocal quartet.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.

    PART 15 Lest we forget: The Directory of Unit Memorials Original Memorial Crosses of the 47th (London) Division now situated at Army Reserve Centre, Flodden Road, Camberwell A tribute to the Military Reserves of Greater London 1908 - 2014 Introduction 1921 was the year when Great Britain turned its attention to how best to remember its War dead. In towns and villages all over the United Kingdom, memorial committees were formed to decide how best to commemorate the fallen from their local area. The national tribute was the building of the Cenotaph in Whitehall, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, at first a temporary structure of wood and plaster board, later made permanent by public demand. The Unknown Warrior was brought home to his final resting place in Westminster Abbey. During the earlier stages of his journey one of the pall bearers was an Infantryman from the 21st (County of London) Battalion The London Regiment (Surrey Rifles). The Capital’s own tribute to the units raised within its boundaries was Alfred Drury's impressive London troops memorial that stands outside the Royal Exchange in the City. In addition, most units set about the task of building their own permanent memorials to their fallen comrades. Such memorials may be found within the Drill Hall itself or, where possible, in the local church or Regimental Chapel or nearby Park. The register of unit memorials in the following pages is by no means complete. Whilst some have been destroyed by enemy action in WW2, others have simply been lost with the closure of the Drill Hall.
