  • World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District
    WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given.

Het was het eerste conflict waar naties van alle continenten direct of indirect bij betrokken waren. Hij bracht vooral voor Europa zoveel vernieling en zulke enorme aantallen doden met zich mee dat de overlevenden hem de “Groote Oorlog” noemden. Eén van de belangrijkste slagvelden was het westelijk front, een smalle strook waar in de herfst van 1914 de stormloop van het Duitse leger was vastgelopen en de legers zich in diepe loopgraven hadden ingegraven.

They were stopped by the British and French at Mons and the Marne and had to settle for a line of defences from Antwerp in the north to Belfort in the south. However, at Ypres, the Germans did occupy most of the high ground and could overlook allied positions. The town of Ypres lay just in front of the German line and was the key to the vital channel ports. Had the town fallen to the Germans, they would have been able to sweep through to the coast, preventing troops arriving from Britain and possibly controlling all shipping in the English Channel. Therefore, their constant aim in Belgium was to take Ypres from the British at all costs. “Ypres…A more sacred place for the British race does not exist in the world” – Winston Churchill 1919 The Ypres Salient The Ypres Salient 1.

  • Valentine Joe Strudwick (Pupil 1903 – C.1913) St Paul’S School’S Boy Soldier
    Valentine Joe Strudwick (pupil 1903 – c.1913) St Paul’s School’s Boy Soldier A major embarrassment to the military authorities during the First World War was the presence of boy soldiers at the Front. Officially, the minimum age for army recruits was 19, but children as young as 13 are known to have joined up, lying about their age in order to fight in the trenches against Germany. One such young recruit was Valentine Joe Strudwick. Born on 14 February 1900, Joe was the second of six surviving children of Jesse Strudwick, a gardener, and his second wife Louisa (nee Fuller), a laundress. Jesse’s first wife, Ellen, had died leaving him with two small daughters – stepsisters to Joe. When Joe was born the family lived in Falkland Road, moving later to Orchard Road. At the tender age of three Joe started at the Falkland Road Infants’ School, the Infants’ School that had merged with St Paul’s School in 1896, and he transferred to St Paul’s School at the age of eight, where he would most likely have stayed until the age of 13. After leaving school, Joe is thought to have worked for his uncle, a local coal merchant. He may also have been a farm hand at a smallholding behind St Paul’s School near the Glory Wood. Like many others, however, Joe must have been struck by the persuasive recruitment campaigns run by the British Government from 1914 onwards - poster campaigns designed to encourage men to join up and serve their country. Hundreds of thousands answered the Government’s call, including many young men who thought that army life would provide opportunities for travel and work that were not available at home.

Mr Frederick Bligh Bond of Bristol, a noted church architect, was employed to design and supervise the erection of the Memorial Cross. The estimated cost, including bronze tablets with the names of the Fallen and the architect’s fees was £350. The following month a printed pamphlet was circulated in the parish (see next page) appealing for donations. The committee felt it would “add greatly to the value and interest of the Memorial, if the cost of its erection is shared by every parishioner and by all who have an interest in Kingston.” The chairman of the organising committee was the Vicar the Rev Percy Shattock and the treasurer for the appeal was Mr Louis Hawkings, the headmaster of the school, who had served in the fledging Royal Naval Air Service during the war.
