  • Claremen Who Fought in the Battle of the Somme July-November 1916
    ClaremenClaremen who who Fought Fought in The in Battle The of the Somme Battle of the Somme July-November 1916 By Ger Browne July-November 1916 1 Claremen who fought at The Somme in 1916 The Battle of the Somme started on July 1st 1916 and lasted until November 18th 1916. For many people, it was the battle that symbolised the horrors of warfare in World War One. The Battle Of the Somme was a series of 13 battles in 3 phases that raged from July to November. Claremen fought in all 13 Battles. Claremen fought in 28 of the 51 British and Commonwealth Divisions, and one of the French Divisions that fought at the Somme.

  • Pembroke College, Cambridge the Dead of the War of 1914-1918 1. The
    PEMBROKE COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE THE DEAD OF THE WAR OF 1914-1918 1. THE 1914-1918 WAR MEMORIAL At Pembroke College, Cambridge the memorial to those of the College identified as having died in the war of 1914-18 is next to the entrance to the college chapel, on the West side of the Hitcham cloister; and the memorial for the war of 1939-45 is opposite, on the East side of the same cloister. The former was designed by T.H. Lyon,[1] made by the Cambridge stonemasons and builders Messrs Rattee and Kett,[2] and dedicated by the then Bishop of Wakefield[3] on 3 December 1924, at a ceremony over which the then Master of Pembroke College[4]presided. The first memorial records three-hundred and eight names,[5] the second one hundred and fifty-two.[6] In each case only those dying on the Allied side are listed. Likewise, for the First war only those killed in action or dying of wounds or other illnesses contracted in military service up to the Armistice are shown.[7] Aside from the omission of those (relatively few) who may have died on the Austro-German and Ottoman side (of whom up to six may in due course be identifiable)[8] or of those whose death, although related to war service, occurred after the list had been drawn up for the stonemasons, the main source of uncertainty in the coverage of the 1914-18 listing concerns having or not belonged to Pembroke College. [9] From 1914 onwards this uncertainty also affects the year recorded as that of first belonging to the College.

  • Lest We Forget Information Package First World War
    Lest We Forget Information Package First World War Happy Canadians who captured Vimy Ridge returning to rest billets on motor lorries, May 1917. Department of National Defence/Library and Archives Canada, PA‐001353 First World War Personnel Files These information sheets will help to interpret the documents found in the service files of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The War Diaries Service files indicate where enlisted personnel were posted in England, but do not record the locations of military postings or battles in France or Belgium. The files provide the name or number of the unit in which the individual served. With that information, locations and battles can be determined by searching the relevant War Diaries. Canadian Expeditionary Force units were required to maintain a daily account of their “Actions in the Field.” These logs were called War Diaries and they are a historical record of a unit’s administration, operations and activities during the First World War. The records have been scanned and can be viewed online. Find out how to consult the War Diaries at http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military- heritage/first-world-war/Pages/war-diaries.aspx. Military Abbreviations, Terms and Meanings Service personnel military files from the First World War contain many abbreviations and terms, the most common of which are explained here.

  • The National Commemorative Event to Mark the Centenary of the Battle of the Somme
    THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATIVE EVENT TO MARK THE CENTENARY OF THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME The Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme 1 July 2016 1 His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales 2 3 The Right Honourable David Cameron MP The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 42 1O DOWNING STREET LONDON SW1A 2AA We come together today to honour all those involved in a battle that is seared onto our national consciousness. For many the Somme Offensive came to define the First World War. The scale of the sacrifice – almost 20,000 British dead on the first day; a million casualties on all sides overall – is reflected by the sheer size of the towering Thiepval Memorial. We think of the volunteers of the Pals’ Battalions, formed of men from the same communities, workplaces, clubs and schools – clerks, teachers, butchers, footballers and more who would never return home. We think of the impact of the devastation – felt by almost every community in Britain – which left mothers without sons, wives without husbands, and children without fathers. And we think of the joint nature of the Somme offensive, with this Anglo-French battle memorial bearing over 72,000 names of those who have no known grave. So this is an opportunity to reflect upon, and strengthen, Britain’s historic bond of friendship with the French Republic. It is a chance to stand together as friends with the representatives from the participant nations of the battle who are here today – from Germany, Ireland, and from across the Commonwealth – honouring the contribution of all nations.

  • The War Memorial of the Faculty of Advocates 1914
    THE WAR MEMORIAL OF THE FACULTY OF ADVOCATES 1914-1918 ALASTAIR K SHEPHERD WS 1 INTRODUCTION In 1914 the young – and not so young – men of Scotland joined the military in droves, and the Advocates were no exception. For many of them, part time military service had been a significant part of their leisure time; indeed the vast majority of the men in this publication had served in uniform before 1914. Some of them, like Robert Burns Begg KC, or Archibald Jones, had served in the Boer War. Others, like Jim Henderson-Hamilton, had joined a local territorial battalion, possibly for social or work reasons as much as military ones. The average age of the Advocates who were killed in the war was well over the national average, at 37. Some were positive veterans, like James Ferguson, Senior, at 60, although he did not actually die on active service. However the 56 year old James Clark was killed leading his men in a charge. At the other end of the spectrum were young men like 24 year old George Buchanan Smith. In the Nineteenth Century, many Advocates had been sons of landed gentry, and certainly many on the war memorial fit that description. However, the occupations of their fathers were, by 1914, more varied; salvage engineers, rubber manufacturers, and shipbuilders rub shoulders with coconut plantation owners and thread manufacturers. Many came from legal backgrounds; indeed eight of the twenty two had Advocates, Writers to the Signet, and Sheriffs as fathers. All were well educated, some in traditional Scottish High schools, others in Scottish or English private schools.

  • The Burston War Memorial
    The Burston War Memorial Thirty eight men from Burston served in the Great War between 1914 and 1918, eight did not return and they remain overseas. Of these eight only two have a known grave; the final resting place of the other six was lost to the war as the fighting moved back and forth. This book documents details of all those from Burston who served in the Great War; there are two chapters: 1. The Eight who fell 2. The Thirty who returned The book is a working project and as research continues it will be updated. The goal of this book and the memorial is primarily to commemorate the men that fell in the service of the country, but also to provide a resource for those interested in the history of the village and school children learning about the Great War. Chapter 1: The Eight who fell GEORGE WILLIAM SANDY, Private 16976 of 7th Battalion, Norfolk Regiment WILLIAM EARNEST EAST, Private 26244 of 2nd Battalion, Essex Regiment HERBERT GARNHAM, Lance-Sergeant 15571 of 9th Battalion, Norfolk Regiment FREDERICK G BRYANT, Sergeant 2004 of 1st/6th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry EDWARD KING POTTER, Private 7393 of 2nd Battalion, Norfolk Regiment HERBERT WILLIAM JOHNSON, Private 45257 of 2nd Battalion, South Wales Borderers GURNEY ROLAND SANDY, Private 33010 of 8th Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment GEORGE WILLIAM DURBIDGE, Corporal 16721 of 12th Battalion, Machine Gun Corps GEORGE WILLIAM SANDY (Private 16976) Born: About 1894 in Burston, Norfolk Regiment: Private 16976, 7th Battalion, Norfolk Regiment Died: 13th October 1915.

  • Albury, Ewart Alfred Campbell
    ‘The Baltic Exchange Roll of Honour 1914-1918’ In 2016 the Baltic Exchange kindly agreed to publish this work during the Centenary Remembrances of World War One. The intention was to try and honour and shed some light on the men of the Baltic Exchange who died during World War I and who appear on the Exchange’s War Memorial. I was gratified that so many current and former members of the Exchange Staff were interested in the work. Since 2016 more information and photographs have come to light and are contained within this publication. The Great War inflicted nearly 1 million military war dead on the British Empire. France’s Military lost over 1.3 million. The Baltic’s ‘Roll of Honour’ records 59 men who died in the Service of the British Empire and 2 who died fighting for France. We try and ‘Remember’ them each November 11th but it is now impossible that anyone will personally remember anyone of the 61 names on the Memorial. Some of those on the Memorial have stories which have been accessible and easy to research – others not so. However all deserve our continuing ‘Remembrance’. The impact of 61 deaths on the Baltic community can be imagined by those of us of an age to remember the old Baltic Floor and the close-knit ‘day to day’ relationships. Apart from loss of friends and colleagues the evidence suggests closures / decline and sales of companies as leading company members and sons of ship-owners were lost. A company called ‘The Produce Brokers Co., Ltd’ holds the unenviable record for the highest casualties amongst member companies, losing three of its representatives between 1916 and 1917.
