  • Major Swindell's World War 1 Diary
    This article contains extracts from the war diary of my Grandfather, Major Swindell. He was a Pioneer in the 2nd Battalion Manchester Regiment. Having joined the colours in 1906, he served right through the war, from being one of the Old Contemptibles, all the way to the armistice. He ended the war as Battalion Pioneer Sgt. The diary was written in two separate volumes – one is a Letts diary for 1915, covering the period 5th August 1914 to 31st December 1916 and the other is a notebook which covers the period 1st January 1916 to 3rd September 1918. The diary ends two months before the armistice. I don’t know whether he ended there or if he started a missing third volume. The diary covers most of the major battles of WW1 – starting with the Retreat from Mons (including Le Cateau), the Marne/Aisne, First Ypres, Second Ypres, The Somme/Ancre, Messines and the 1918 offensives. The reader may be puzzled about my grandfather’s name, Major. The story goes that this unusual name came about from a short-lived tradition in his family of naming the boys after army ranks. Major was the last one, as after he was born, all the women in the family got together and put a stop to it. My father read parts of the diary over the years, but he was put off reading the whole thing, as the handwriting can be quite difficult to decipher. I decided to attempt to transcribe the diary for the benefit of both my father (who died shortly after I finished) and future generations.
