Chedworth Remembers the Great War Chedworth Remembers the Great War Chedworth Remembers the Great War 1914-1918 The stories of the men and women who served and the village they left behind 1 Chedworth Remembers the Great War Dedication "The citizens here assembled on Remembrance Day , August 4th, 1918, silently paying tribute to the Empire's sons who have fallen in the fight for freedom on the scattered battlefields of the world-war, whether on sea or shore, and mindful also of the courage of our sailors, soldiers, airmen and men everywhere, and those who are working on the munitions of war and helping in other ways for the preservation of civilisation, unanimously resolve to do all that in our power lies to achieve the ideals on behalf of which so great a sacrifice has already been made." (George Mills, vice Chairman Chedworth Parish Council on the fourth anniversary of the start of the Great War) 2 Chedworth Remembers the Great War CONTENTS Pages The Men and Women who served; their stories 6-178 The Diary of Private Albert Broad 179-190 Captain George Ellis RAMC 191-193 Royal Flying Corps Rendcomb Airfield 194-197 Bravery Awards and Silver War Badges 198-199 Recruitment and Conscription 200-201 Chedworth and the Home Front 202-211 The Reverend George Mackie, wartime vicar 212-214 Peace Celebrations 215-219 Chedworth War Memorials 219-224 List of Chedworth Men and Women who served 225-228 3 Chedworth Remembers the Great War ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Chedworth Remembers the Great Margaret Cross War Project has been assisted by Paul Evans people and organisations who have Derek Fielding helped us in many ways including Jenny and Roger Fisher financial donations, research and Tony and Maureen Floyd giving permission to use photographs Rev Stephen Goundrey-Smith and documents.

They fought on land, sea and in the air as far away from our Cotswold village as India, East Africa, Egypt and Salonika, as well as on the Western Front. Several earned honours for bravery and some never returned and are now remembered on village memorials. However, in 2013, with the centenary of the Great War in prospect, we resolved to: research and record for future generations the stories of those brave men and women research the effect that the Great War had on our village. research and record the stories of those who served and life on the "Home Front" restore the 100 year old wooden Roll of Honour in the church porch engage with our community about aspects of the Great War Work on the project should have started forty years before when many of the men who went to war were still within our community, but the opportunity has largely been lost and cannot be reclaimed from history. However, the Roll of Honour in the porch of St Andrew's church has been the rock on which this project has been built and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to our villagers of 100 years ago for creating this unique record. Home computers linked to the internet have been our primary 21st century tools enabling us to research, to contact people and to assemble information on a scale that even ten years ago would have been impossible. We have gained in depth much of what has been lost in personal and first-hand accounts of the Great War, and we are grateful for a number of relatives who have come forward with stories and photographs of this period. Nevertheless, there remain gaps in our information that have proved impossible to fill. We have deposited with the Gloucester Archives digital copies of everything that we have used in this project including newspaper articles, images of original documents, photographs, lists, correspondence and a lessons learned report in the hope that it will be of use to future researchers. The Chedworth Remembers the Great War project has been an interesting and rewarding experience for all of us involved and we hope that you, the reader, feel that the result is a worthy tribute to those of our village who served. Mike Tovey Peter Seymour Chedworth, March 2016 5 Chedworth Remembers the Great War THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED Private Albert Edward Allington, Born: 1894 Chedworth 18920 9th Bn, Gloucester Regiment Parents: William George Fry Allington and Amelia Emma Mustoe Married: Annie Goodall (1920) Died: 1963 Enlisted: about January 1915 (precise date not known) Demobilised: 28th January 1919 Roll of Honour: Chedworth Medals: 15 Star, BWM, Victory The youngest of three brothers who served with the colours during the Great War, Albert joined the 9th Battalion of the Glosters (as did Albert Broad, Bert Day and Reg Lawrence). Deployed to France on 20 September 1915 he also served in Salonika. Albert is recorded as having been met there, together with the others, by William Mills, another Chedworthian serving in Salonika as a platoon sergeant in the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry. From the 31st Casualty Clearing Station (in Salonika) records we know that Albert was admitted on 4 April 1917 suffering from Benign Tertian Malaria, that he was evacuated in a sick convoy the following day and that he was serving in B Company of the 9th (Service) Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment. He had by then been in the army for 2 years and 3 months and on active service for 1 year 7 months. No further information is available about his recovery or return to active service. After the war Albert returned to Chedworth and a photograph shows him as a member of the Chedworth Band with the musical instrument that he took with him to France. As with so many of his generation he spoke little of his wartime experiences. However, one of his fellow bandsmen remembers him having had a hard war and saying in response to a complaint about the local weather “If you had been in the trenches, you wouldn’t mind this rain!” Private John Ernest Allington Born: 1891 Chedworth Parents: William George Fry Allington and Amelia Emma Mustoe Married: Ella Blanche Neale 1919 Died : 1970 18180 12th & 13th Btlns, Gloucestershire Regiment Enlisted: 1st February 1915. Discharged: 8th February 1919. Roll of Honour: Chedworth Medals: BWM,Victory Silver War Badge: 214631 issued 18th June 1919 6 Chedworth Remembers the Great War John Allington’s military records are sparse and only a few clues as to his war service are available from a brief newspaper item, the memorial panels in St Andrews, his medal card, his SWB record and the general medal roll created after the war. He enlisted before his brother Albert in the Gloucestershire Regiment on 1st February 1915 and served in both the 12th (Bristol) Battalion and the 13th (Service) Battalion (The Forest of Dean Pioneers). Both Battalions fought with great distinction through the next 3 years on the Western Front, although the 12th was stationed briefly in Italy in January 1918, but recalled in March to France against the German advance in March. In May the 13th was reduced to a training cadre as it had suffered such heavy losses and it is likely that John was then with the 12th. At that time the 12th was part of the 5th Division which took part in the Battles of the Lys. On 28th June 1918 the Division took part in an action known as La Becque and this is when John was seriously injured. A newspaper report described his traumatic experience as follows: “The parents of Private John E Allington, Gloucestershire Regiment, received official news that he has been seriously wounded in France during an attack in the early morning of June 28th. He was wounded in the left arm and one of his knees, which was smashed by a splinter from an enemy shell. He remained in a shell hole for 12 hours until picked up by some stretcher-bearers who were in charge of some German prisoners. He is at present in hospital in France, and it is sincerely hoped by all his friends that he will make a good and quick recovery.” We know no more as to when he recovered, but he was not discharged until February 1919 and a Silver War Badge was issued in June that year. John died in Gloucester in 1970. Private William Henry (Harry) Allington Born: 1877 Chedworth Parents: William George Fry Allington and Amelia Emma Mustoe Married: Mary Annie Fletcher 1911 Swindon Died 1958 Cirencester District 111147 Royal Army Medical Corps. Enlisted: 29th November 1915 and mobilised 10 April 1917 Discharged: 6 March 1919 Roll of Honour: Chedworth Medals: BWM, Victory In 1911 Harry was living in Chedworth but later that year he married and at sometime moved to The Garrick Head, Andoversford, working there as a carter in 1915.

Those received as a result of the public consultation exercise, following receipt of revised drawings and associated on documents on 26th June, have been listed separately, together with the planning officer’s updated report. The representations listed below were received before that date and were circulated with the officer report in June. 130 Horsefair Street Charlton Kings Cheltenham Gloucestershire GL53 8JT Comments: 3rd February 2014 I strongly object to this proposal. We already have three convenience stores within 5 minutes of the location that are well established within the community; we do not need another. Parking and traffic around the area is already a problem which will be exacerbated by this proposal. We do not need any additional retail units: the community is already well served by local shops and businesses and we risk drawing business away from them. Charlton Kings is a vibrant community, well served by existing retail businesses, and I believe this application will damage this. Comments: 16th June 2014 As others have stated in these comments, this application runs contrary to stated planning strategy & objectives for the area and I strongly object to the proposal.
