    Private Arthur Phillip FLUNDER Service Number: 16708 11th Battalion (Cambridge Pals) The Suffolk Regiment Died 1st July 1916 Commemorated on Thiepval Memorial Pier and face 1C and 2A WW1 Centenary record of an Unknown Soldier Recruitment – 11th Battalion Suffolk Regiment – Suffolks/Cambs – (Cambridge Pals) Private Arthur FLUNDER was a member of the 11th Suffolks, which was a service battalion known as the Cambs/Suffolks or Cambridge Pals. At the outbreak of the war, men of the County enlisting for Infantry were sent to the Suffolk Regiment Depot at Bury St Edmunds. This soon became overcrowded and a relief camp was formed in Cambridge. Battle of the Somme The plan was for the British forces to attack on a fourteen-mile front after an intense week-long artillery bombardment of the German positions. Over 1.6 million shells were fired, 70 for every one metre of front, the idea being to decimate the German Front Line. Two minutes before zero-hour, 19 mines were exploded under the German lines. Whistles sounded and the troops went over the top at 7.30am. They advanced in lines at a slow, steady pace across No Man's Land towards then German front line. Objective 9 – La Boisselle – The Somme - See fig 1. Attack on La Boisselle Private Arthur FLUNDER and the 11th Suffolks were assigned Objective 9, an attack on the village of La Boisselle. The village of La Boisselle was of huge strategic importance as it would open up the road to Bapaume. This would allow the Allies to attack Poziers, the next town further up the road then from there, Thiepval.

  • Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
    1 BATTLE & DISTRICT HISTORICAL SOCIETY baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaac THE ROYAL SUSSEX REGIMENT IN WORLD WAR I Matthew Jones 20 March 2014 This lecture was originally scheduled for 20 February 2014. However Mr Jones kindly agreed to swap dates due to the speaker for ‘To The Manor Born …’ becoming unavailable.. ‘Lowther’s Own Marching Song’1 1. Refrain Oh the Sussex boys are stirring For the Sussex stock is staunch In the wood-land and the Down; And the Sussex blood is true, We are moving in the hamlet, And the Sussex lads are keen We are rising in the town; When there’s soldier’s work to do. For the call in King and Country Hear us tramp, tramp, tramp Since the foe has asked for war, ’til the county is a camp, And when danger calls or duty And we start the little business We are always to the fore. We have sworn to carry through. 2. We have come from shop and sheepfold, We have come from desk and store, We have left our peaceful callings To be taught the trade of war; For our hearths, and homes, and honour As a bulwark we will stand, Fighting hard for England’s glory And the pleasant Sussex land. repeat refrain 3. Oh we know that we are wanted, And we know the risk we run, But we wouldn’t think of shrinking When there’s duty to be done. We would go if others shirked it And we had to go alone For the honour of our country And our pride in “Lowther’s Own.” repeat refrain Mr Jones is Assistant County Archivist at the West Sussex Record Office, which houses the regimental archive of our county regiment and we were delighted to welcome him for an interesting and at times deeply moving insight into the regiment and lives of some of its men.

First raised as the 2nd Battalion of the 8th Regiment of Foot in 1756, it was reconstituted as a regiment in its own right in 1758 as the 63rd Regiment of Foot. From 1782-1881 it was known as the 63rd (West Suffolk) Regiment of Foot. During the 1820s the regiment was mainly stationed in Ireland, Portugal and England. A decision was made to transfer the regiment to Australia and advance contingents were sent out during 1828 and 1829. The Headquarter Company arrived in Sydney on 18 February 1830 and after landing its convict charges it sailed onto Tasmania where it was joined by the remainder of the regiment during the following month. Five Companies of the regiment embarked from Hobart in February 1833 for Madras, India and others sailed the following month. Records Used The original records dealing with the regiment are held in the War Office series at the National Archives (TNA) in Kew, England. Records relating to the regiment's period in Australia were filmed under the Australia Joint Copying Project (AJCP) and are available in major libraries in Australia.
