A Community Remembers B&W St Peter's St Thomas WW1 Memorial Acknowledgements The documenting of those men who fell in the parishes of St Thomas and St Peters’ in Bethnal Green in WWI was begun in 2014 by Phillipa Atkinson. Her amazing work of discovery has been added to by Carol Budd, Linda Wilkinson and Mike Tyrell. Although we have been able to tell at least part of a story about the majority of these men, it is sad that we still have only the names of some. This is a living project however, and we sincerely hope that relatives may come forward with more information. To discuss this project, or add any information please contact: Adam Atkinson of St Peters’ on 07780992112 [email protected] Linda Wilkinson (Volunteer) 07725195150 [email protected] 2 Preface When I started compiling these brief biographies, I thought the task of adding any flesh to the bones of a single forename and surname would be impossible. I have found that, with the aid of Ancestry, Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Forces at War website, Street Map, sites relating to old Bethnal Green and those concerning Regiments and Battalions in the First World War, it has been possible to arrive at a fair degree of probability rather than just possibility. With the aid of old maps, I have got to know the streets around St Peter’s as they existed in 1914 as well as the trades most prevalent in the area. As far as the war service is concerned, by establishing where a particular battalion was on the day of a death I have made an assumption as to the engagement in which an individual most likely lost his life. I realise that in the trenches life may have been forfeit at any time through a sniper’s bullet, a stray shell or even a mine explosion. It does not appear that any groups of friends or work colleagues joined so called Pals Brigades. Although many served in the London Regiment, they were in a variety of Battalions within it. A visit to the local archives and trawling through local newspapers proved unsuccessful; the conclusion drawn was that at the beginning of the war casualties were played down as bad for morale and having a negative effect on recruiting. Then later on the numbers were so vast that they were only reported as lists of names and not deaths of individuals. This would have been different in country areas where numbers were far fewer. There are a number of names for which I have been unable to find a link with St Peter’s or the area around; others where there are too many of the same name to make a definite identification and yet other cases where I seem to have the right man but have been unable find him in the service records. I fully acknowledge any error and omissions. It has been a leap in the dark and sometimes intuition works but sometimes it can deceive but I hope very much that further information will be forthcoming from those with closer connection with the families and the area than I have so together we can continue to honour the memory of the men to whom we owe so much.

  • 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.

  • Daws Heath – the Forgotten World War 2 Outpost
    Daws Heath – The Forgotten World War 2 Outpost. During World War 2 (WW2), many locations in South Essex were restricted as military areas or home defence positions. Legh-on-Sea was, in fact, militarised as was much of Hadleigh. A piece of remaining evidence may readily be seen in the form of original barrier posts in Church Road, Hadleigh, opposite Iceland Car park). There are others. Much of the main areas of operation (Hadleigh, Leigh, Benfleet, Canvey, Thames Mouth) are very well- known. However, not many people are aware of the crucial role Daws Heath played in terms of home defence during World War 2 (WW2), particularly during the Battle of Britain and during bomber raids by Luftwaffe pilots. Daws Heath is central in location. It is very near to the Thames Estuary, positioned perfectly near, yet a safe distance from what was RAF Southend-on-Sea, and well on the approach to East London. It is also central to major rail networks to Liverpool and Fenchurch Street. There are many stories of air duels being fought over the area. We know, for example, that an engine from a Messerschmitt 109 was recovered from a crash site in Runwell, Wickford. There is also a tale told of a fighter pilot parachuting down into the Daws Heath area (although not substantiated). Many years ago, I began researching the area of Pound Wood for what I had initially been told was a mobile searchlight position. Many old Daws Heath residents, most notably the late Jack Barber and his sister, Joyce Howard, told me of defences and activity in the area.

In the summer of 1793, 7000 men under the command of the Duke of Richmond made a tented camp between Duddleswell and Nutley. 100 years later, from May 16 th until the 27 th . 1893 tented camps were made at Forest Row, Crowborough, and on the forest between Nutley and Maresfield. The troops were reviewed by the Duke of Cambridge, the Commander in Chief of the British Army. Marquees were erected for refreshments and welfare comforts at Forest Row and Crowborough. In 1906 about 2000 men from the 1 st . Cinque Ports Rifle Corps held their annual training camp on St. John’s Common. Duke of Cambridge The Sussex and Kent Volunteer Brigade camped on St. John’s Common in 1910, and also the Royal Engineers, London. The Royal Sussex Regiment under the command of His Grace the Duke of Norfolk trained on the forest from 8 July to 23 July 1911. The London Territorial Camp was held between 29 July to 12 July 1911 with 3,500 men at St. John’s and 7,000 men at Camp Hill. The tented camp can be seen in the background Training pre 1914 Crowborough 3 In 1912 The Royal Engineers were camped at Chelwood Gate for training.
