    Lieutenant Cecil Halliday Abercrombie, Royal Navy, born at Mozufferpore, India, on 12 September 1886, was the son of Walter D Abercrombie, Indian Police, and Kate E Abercrombie. In cricket, he was a right hand bat and right hand medium pace bowler. In 1912 he hit 37 and 100 for the Royal Navy v Army at Lord’s. He played for Hampshire Cricket Club in 1913, scoring 126 and 39 in his debut against Oxford University, 144 v Worcestershire and 165 v Essex when Hampshire followed on 317 behind; in a stand with George Brown (140) he put on 325 for the seventh wicket. In first class matches that year he scored 936 runs with an average of 35.92. Between 1910 and 1913, he played six times for Scotland (won 2, lost 4). He was lost with HMS Defence on 31 May 1916, age 29, and is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial. His widow was Cecily Joan Abercrombie (nee Baker) of 22 Cottesmore Gardens, Kensington, London.

Some of the names are recorded in the Cardiff City Corporation Roll of Honour and other names I found online at Ancestry.co.uk. There are a total of 156 names, 131 within the Glamorgan Archives area, with another 20 names outside of this area. I have also found 5 officers whose details I managed to locate. Some names had very little information other than name, rank, regiment and town of birth. The majority of my research has been online in order to find the information that follows. Some of the names have revealed an interesting hidden history of information, whereas other names did not reveal very much at all. This research isn’t by any means complete, and I hope there are members of the public who can contact the Glamorgan Archives to continue the ongoing process of updating this data.

  • Crossing the White Line: the Walter Tull Story
    CROSSING THE WHITE LINE: THE WALTER TULL STORY written by Peter Daniel research by Phil Vasili design by Camilla Bergman ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Written by Peter Daniel Original research Phil Vasili Illustrations Ted Smith-Orr Front cover mural Jonathan Boast Design Camilla Bergman Westminster Archives is proud to present the life story of Walter Tull, which would not have been possible without the £49,900 grant we recieved from the Heritage Lottery Fund. As an organisation we are committed to celebrating diversity and this funding has allowed us to bring the story of a Great Black Briton to the wider audience it deserves. We would also like to acknowledge the help of Tull biographer Phil Vasili. Without Phil’s tireless years of research on the Tull story this project would not have been possible. We extend our thanks and gratitude to Marilyn Stephenson-Knight from The Dover War Memorial Project, whose energy and enthusiasm helped bring the project to Folkestone, the Finlayson family for their generosity in allowing us to use their collection and a special thanks to all the staff who worked with us from NCH (National Children’s Homes), The Methodist Central Hall, The National Army Museum, The National Football Museum, Glasgow Rangers, Crabble Corn Mill, students from CAPA and also to the PFA for supporting this project.

  • Using Historical Sources to Investigate Black History What Evidence Do Historians Use? Historians Try to Find out What Happened in the Past
    Using historical sources to investigate Black history What evidence do historians use? Historians try to find out what happened in the past. To do this they need to piece together what happened from the clues that survive. Historians call these clues sources. Historical sources are something that tells us about history. It may be a document, a picture, a sound recording, a book, a cinema film, a television programme, or an object. Anything from the period in question that conveys information can qualify as a source. You are going to look at two sources from the National Archives that help you answer the enquiry questions below. Enquiry questions: Who was Walter Tull? How can we use sources to find out about him? What can he teach us about what happened in the past? Walter Tull was born on 28 April 1888 in Folkstone, Kent. His father was from Barbados and his mother from Kent. His parents died when he was aged 9 years old. Walter and his brother were brought up in an orphanage in Bethnal Green, East London. From 1908 he started to play football and was signed by Clapham FC, then the following year by Tottenham Hotspur F.C. He was the second person of African-Caribbean mixed heritage to play in the top division of the Football League. He later moved to Northampton Town F.C. in 1911 where he played half-back. At the start of the First World War Tull joined the 17th (1st Football) Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment as a Lance-Corporal. In 1915 he served in France and was later placed in hospital for shell shock.

  • The Somme Resources 1.Pdf
    The Battle of the Somme 1916 – background information The Battle of the Somme was one of the largest battles of the First World War in which more than 1,000,000 men were wounded or killed; making it one the bloodiest battles in history. It took place between 1st July and 18th November 1916 in Northern France around the River Somme. Map 1 The aim of the Battle was to achieve a decisive victory for the Allies over the Germans on the Western Front after 18 months of trench stalemate where neither side had looked like winning the war. Most of the soldiers in the British Army were volunteers who had joined up in 1914 in their thousands in response to a government campaign led by Lord Kitchener for new recruits. ‘Kitchener’s New Army’ was divided into battalions often made up of volunteers from the same cities, towns and villages, or from the same workplace. In the North, these battalions were often known as Pals Battalions e.g. the Accrington Pals and the Barnsley Pals. Some battalions were even made up of sportsmen such as the Football Battalion. For many of these volunteers the Battle of the Somme was their first experience of fighting in the First World War. Fighting alongside the British on the Somme were soldiers from all over the British Empire including Newfoundland, Canada, Bermuda, Australia and New Zealand. On the orders of Sir Douglas Haig, the commander of the British Army, the Battle started with a weeklong artillery bombardment of the German lines. Nearly 2 million shells were fired at the Germans with the aim of completely destroying their trenches.
