  • Mortem Obierunt
    Mortem Obierunt Looking Back 100 Years From the Garton Archive: Item of Interest 57 Compiled by Peter Harrod December 2017 “The Crucible of War” The Battle of Passchendaele, one of the bloodiest and most controversial of the Great War, has recently been in the news as part of the commemoration of those dark days of 1917. The battle ended just over one hundred years ago, and the name Passchendaele, along with Ypres and Somme, has come to symbolise the Great War itself. Wikipedia informs us that the Battle, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres, was a First World War campaign fought by the Allies on the Western Front against the German Empire from July to November 1917. It formed part of a strategy designed to gain control of the ridges south and east of the Belgian city of Ypres. Passchendaele lay on the final ridge east of Ypres near to a railway junction at Roulers, vital to the supply system of the German 4th Army. A recent article in the Daily Telegraph reported that the Allied assault was launched in the early hours of 31 July 1917. Because of the torrential rain, the British and Canadian troops found themselves fighting not only the Germans, but a quagmire of stinking mud that swallowed up men, horses and tanks. The article reported that, after three months, one week and three days of brutal trench warfare, the Allies finally recaptured the village of Passchendaele, but by then around a third of a million British and Allied soldiers had been killed or wounded in some of the most horrific trench warfare battles of the long conflict.

  • British 8Th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-1918
    Centre for First World War Studies British 8th Infantry Division on the Western Front, 1914-18 by Alun Miles THOMAS Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law January 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Recent years have seen an increasingly sophisticated debate take place with regard to the armies on the Western Front during the Great War. Some argue that the British and Imperial armies underwent a ‘learning curve’ coupled with an increasingly lavish supply of munitions, which meant that during the last three months of fighting the BEF was able to defeat the German Army as its ability to conduct operations was faster than the enemy’s ability to react. This thesis argues that 8th Division, a war-raised formation made up of units recalled from overseas, became a much more effective and sophisticated organisation by the war’s end. It further argues that the formation did not use one solution to problems but adopted a sophisticated approach dependent on the tactical situation.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

  • Rushmoor Men Who Died During the Battle of the Somme
    Rushmoor men who died during the Battle of the Somme Compiled by Paul H Vickers, Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum, January 2016 Introduction To be included in this list a man must be included in the Rushmoor Roll of Honour: citizens of Aldershot, Farnborough and Cove who fell in the First World War as a resident of Rushmoor at the time of the First World War. The criteria for determining residency and the sources used for each man are detailed in the Rushmoor Roll of Honour. From the Rushmoor Roll of Honour men were identified who had died during the dates of the battle of the Somme, 1 July to 18 November 1916. Men who died up to 30 November were also considered to allow for those who may have died later of wounds received during the battle. To determine if they died at the Somme, consideration was then given to their unit and the known locations and actions of that unit, whether the man was buried in one of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) Somme cemeteries or listed on a memorial to the missing of the Somme, mainly the Thiepval Memorial, or who are noted in the Roll of Honour details as having died at the Somme or as a result of wounds sustained at the Somme. The entries in this list are arranged by regiment and battalion (or battery for the Royal Artillery). For each man the entry from the Rushmoor Roll of Honour is given, and for each regiment or battalion there is a summary of its movements up to the start of the Battle of the Somme and its participation in the battle up to the time the men listed were killed.

  • Llewellyn James Jones Died of Wounds 16 March 1916 Age 34 Years
    Llewellyn James Jones died of wounds 16 March 1916 age 34 years Llewellyn James Jones was born in Herriard on the 22nd June 1881. He was the fourth and youngest son of the Reverend George Jones M.A., who became Rector of All Saints’ Dummer in 1882, and his wife Rosamond Alice Ward. Llewellyn’s mother Rosamond died on 13th March 1896 when he was 14 and 8 months. She was 44 years old. Llewellyn attended Lancing College in 1895 and in 1896, following his older brother Walter’s example, joined the army. Initially in the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, by 1905 he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Lancashire Fusiliers. The same year he was seconded to the West India Regiment. Four years later, in 1909, he was promoted to Lieutenant and transferred permanently to the West India Regiment. On the outbreak of WW1 he was made a Temporary Captain in the East Surrey Regiment and fifteen months later was confirmed as Captain on 27th January 1916. He embarked for France in June/July 1915. On the 10th March 1916 his battalion, the 7th, went into the trenches opposite Hohenzollern redoubt near Loos. They were relieving the 6th Battalion Royal West Surrey Regiment (the Queen’s). It is not clear from the war diary how Llewellyn Jones was wounded on the 12th March, though it seems likely it was during the destruction of the German galleries at Hohenzollern. However, four days later on the 16th March 1916 he died from those wounds. Hohenzollern Redoubt March 1916 The Hohenzollern Redoubt was a German defensive position on the Loos front, which was fought over by the British and German armies from the Battle of Loos (25 September – 14 October 1915) to the beginning of the Battle of the Somme (1 July – 18 November 1916), changing hands several times.
