    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.

  • Operation Overlord 1944
    Operation Overlord, 6 June 1944 Nottinghamshire The landings on five beaches in northern France on the morning of 6 June 1944 by upwards of 156,000 troops of 14 allied countries marked the beginning of Operation Overlord. These were contemporary with successes in other theatres of the Second World War in 1944, in Italy at Monte Casino and in Northeast India at Kohima. It heralded the last phase of the conflict and the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe. The invasion was the result of long and meticulous planning as well as a triumph of combined operations between all the arms of the services in the sea, on the land and in the air, with the support of the civilian population including industry and agriculture which provided the armaments, ordnance, equipment, rations etc Men and women from all backgrounds and walks of life were involved and many paid with their lives. Men and women from Nottinghamshire served in all branches of the Armed Forces during this conflict and it is not possible to say how many people were involved except it would be many thousands. We can however identify some examples specifically from our own county: Royal Navy Whilst there were no ships specifically linked to Nottinghamshire, as the largest amphibious operation ever seen, the contribution of both the Royal Navy, Royal Marine Commandos and the Merchant Navy cannot be overstated with sailors from Nottinghamshire serving in all three services. Guards Armoured Division The Guards Armoured Division which trained for D Day at Thoresby and was among the earliest to land on D Day.
