  • HERBERT WALTER BEEVIS on 18 October 1916
    This is the Sixty-sixth of an occasional series of articles by David Stone about incidents in the history of Swanton Morley and its church THE DEATH OF HERBERT WALTER BEEVIS On 18 October 1916 Previous articles on WWI I thought that you might now wish to take a look at some more of the names that appear on our war memorial. Perhaps I may remind you that I have been trying to look at them in chronological order, starting with Article No 50 which looked at the death of Private Horace Albert Rump, who died on the Somme at the Battle of Delville Wood on 19 July 1916. This was followed by Article No. 51 which looked at the three men from the village who all died in April 1917 at various stages of the Battle of Arras. Finally, Article No. 52 concerned Private George Richard Harrold who died at Cambrai on 30 November 1917. I had intended to continue with the chronological order by talking about the German Spring Offensive and the three men from the village who died during April 1918. However, this would have meant leaving out one other soldier who was killed much earlier on (18 October 1916), which was towards the end of the Somme Offensive. At the time, I knew very little about the circumstances surrounding his death, and I could not find enough material for an article. However, this is no longer the case. The death of Herbert Walter Beevis This soldier was Private Herbert Walter Beevis who was in the 9th Bn.
