  • Frank Medlicott (Meddlicott)
    106: Frank Medlicott (Meddlicott) Basic Information [as recorded on local memorial or by CWGC] Name as recorded on local memorial or by CWGC: Frank Medlicott (shown as 'Meddlicott' by CWGC) Rank: Private Battalion / Regiment: 1st / 4th Bn. Cheshire Regiment Service Number: 201540 Date of Death: 01 August 1918 Age at Death: 26 Buried / Commemorated at: Raperie British Cemetery, Villemontoire, Departement de l'Aisne, Picardie, France Additional information given by CWGC: The son of Henry and Martha Meddlicott of Puddington, Birkenhead The name of this family is recorded with several variations including Meddicott, Middlecott, Meddlecott, Medlicot, Medlicott and Meddlicott. Whilst the name recorded on the memorial plaque at St Nicholas, Burton, is Medlicott, the recognised spelling (as given in the two census returns for 1911 which bear this name, and as recorded by the CWGC) is Meddlicott. In this account the spelling Meddlicott will be used within the text although the variants will be used as these appear in documents. Frank Meddlicott was the third and final child of Henry and Martha Meddlicott of Oxfordshire. Henry Meddlicott married Martha Church in the Witney region of Oxfordshire in mid-1882 and by the time of the 1891 census, when they were living in the village of Aston to the west of Oxford, all three children had been born: Henry Medlicot 29 shepherd born Black Bourton, Oxfordshire Martha 29 born Black Bourton, Oxfordshire Mabel 8 born Burford, Oxfordshire George 4 born Black Bourton, Oxfordshire Frank 1 born Clanfield, Oxfordshire At the time of the 1901 census they were still in Aston, probably at the same house: 1901 census (extract) – Bull Street, Aston, Oxfordshire Henry Medlicott 37 shepherd born Black Bourton, Oxon.

  • 1 Silent Night Part 1
    SILENT NIGHT PART 1: MANOEUVRES There is a simple set with benches and three blasted trees from No Man’s Land. To the sides, sit the Community and School Choirs. They sing some of the songs and carols and add crowd noise. The choirs are different at each venue since they will belong to the locale of the venue. The BLAKELY family enters: ALICE: an Edwardian woman with a parasol; THOMAS, a school boy; WALTER, a soldier of the Cheshire Regiment and also ALICE’S sweetheart. In through this static group walks a thin, dark, nervous man; this is GAVRILO PRINCIP. SCENE 1: SARAJEVO GAVRILO PRINCIP I am standing outside Moritz Schiller’s café, heavy with failure. There is birdsong. And a breeze from the river. Petals fall from the oleander trees like Christmas snow. But the city is hot and full of people. They are waiting to see a man in an automobile, and they are sycophantic fools. He is long gone by now. Our chance is lost. But then the motor car I thought was gone turns into the street where I’m standing and slows and stops by Schiller’s Café, and the engine stalls. The hood of the car is rolled down and I can see important men in the car shouting at the driver, but I can’t hear anything anymore: I can only see their mouths moving. And then I see him: the one on whose behalf they are all shouting. He is smiling at his wife, and she at him. But they are nervous.

L. Corp. Benyon, whose mother lives at 80 Westminster Road, Hoole, was on a transport which was sunk and his body has been found and buried in Italy. He had been in the forces for nearly two years, and had been wounded three times. Previous to joining the army he was employed at Port Sunlight. He was highly esteemed by all his friends and was well known in Hoole, where he formally lived with his mother. Much sympathy will be extended to his relatives. He leaves a widow and four young children who are at present living in Birkenhead, a mother and several brothers and sisters.” The 1911 Census shows Joseph, wife Lorna and children Robert, Emily and Joseph at 4 Griffiths Terrace, Hoole and indicates that he was employed by the Co-Operative Society at that time. The “Golden Book” of the Port Sunlight War Memorial - confirms that he was latterly employed by Lever Brothers at Port Sunlight. BOWE, James Edward Regiment: 7th Bn.
