Introduction. 2014 is the centenary of the start of the First World War and this document has been produced in recognition of the men commemorated on our village war memorial which is located in the Methodist Chapel in Priest Lane. The village of Mottram St.Andrew, situated between Macclesfield and Wilmslow in East Cheshire is very rural and quite spread out over an area similar in size to Macclesfield although the population is very much smaller. Before the First World War the population of Mottram St. Andrew was less than 400 and most people were either employed in agriculture and associated work or as servants at Mottram Hall. During the First World war 20 men gave their lives whilst serving mainly on the Western Front in France and Flanders. A few saw service in Egypt, Gallipoli and Mesopotamia. 2. The Village War Memorial. The memorial is an illuminated parchment framed in oak and covered by oak doors. The parchment records the deaths of 23 men (20 in WW1 and 3 in WW2) and on the inside of the doors are the names of 54 others who also served in the forces. 4 The roll of honour was a gift from Mrs. Susan Elizabeth Greg, the widow of Walter Greg who was the first chairman of the parish council from 1894 until his death in 1907. The memorial was placed initially in the village school before being transferred during the 1950s to hang in the village chapel where it can be seen today. A War Memorial Grant was received from Cheshire East Council in 2014 to renovate and clean the memorial that had become discoloured and affected by water staining. This work was carried out by James Caverhill Conservation Ltd. of Darlington a specialist in parchment repairs. The names on the side panels were becoming very difficult to read and the Parish Council agreed to have them renovated in 2012. The work was done in gold leaf by J.M.Gardiner, a Macclesfield sign writer. Below are the names of those who died in both world wars. 5 Name Regiment Date of death Remarks Ralph Bower Royal Engineers 30.06.1918 Died of disease Charles May Cheshire Regiment 23.10.1917 Alfred Pollard RASC,mt 06.11.1918 Died of influenza and pneumonia Edward Slater RGA 15.12.1917 Killed in action Ernest Thompson 20th Manchester Regiment 01.03.1917 Killed in action William Thompson 7th Cheshire Regiment 04.10.1917 Killed in action (Corporal) George Walker Royal Welsh Fusiliers 24.10.1914 Killed in action (Corporal) Frank Wright 2nd Grenadier Guards 27.03.1918 Killed in action Ernest Beresford Royal Welsh Fusiliers 22.08.1917 Killed in action Charles Entwistle 8th Manchester Regiment 21.03.1918 Killed in action Walter Forrest 3rd Worcester Regiment 10.06.1917 Killed in action (Sergeant DCM) Donald Lardner HMS Pathfinder August 1914 Killed in action John Powell RFA 02.05.1917 Killed in action George Powell 1/7th Cheshire Regiment 10.08.1915 Killed in action (Sergeant Major) John Arthur Ryle Cheshire Regiment 17.10.1918 Henry Slater 1st Battalion Rifle Brigade 01.07.1916 Killed in action Louis Stearn 3rd Cavalry Regiment 25.06.1919 Albert Thirlwall 10th Cheshire Regiment 20.05.1916 Killed in action Stanley Thirlwall 1/7th Royal Welsh 06.11.1917 Killed in action Fusiliers Fred Waller (Lance 18th Manchester Regiment 09.07.1916 Killed in action Corporal) John Crawford Atty Royal Field Artillery 17.06.1944 Killed in action George Edward Home Guard 09.08.1944 Died delivering Powell dispatches George Proudlove London Irish Rifles 14.09.1944 Killed in action Below are details of those who also served.

Events leading up to the start of World War 1. The main causes of the First World War which began in central Europe included many factors such as the conflicts and hostility between the great European powers during the 40 years leading up to the war, involving militarism, alliances, imperialism and nationalism. The immediate cause of the war however was the decision taken by statesmen and generals during the diplomatic crisis of July 1914 between the major powers of Europe caused by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on the 28th June 1914 by the Serbian Nationalist Gavrillo Principe, a member of the Black Hand terrorist organisation in Sarajevo. A series of diplomatic manoeuvrings led to an ultimatum by Austria – Hungary on Serbia. The ultimatum was part of a programme to weaken the Kingdom of Serbia which was seen as a threat to the Austria – Hungary control of the North Balkans which had a significant Slavic population, including a Serbian community in Bosnia. Unfortunately the ultimatum was rejected outright and Austria declared war on Serbia on the 28th July 1914. On the 1st August 1914 Germany declared war on Russia and on the 2nd August Germany sent an ultimatum to Belgium demanding free passage for her troops. On the 3rd August 1914 Germany declared war on France, and Britain sent an ultimatum to Germany to respect Belgian neutrality. There was no satisfactory response made by Germany and Britain therefore declared war on Germany at 11p.m. on the 4th August 1914. The war lasted until the 11th November 1918. World War 1 was not confined to Europe as in addition to the battles fought in France and Flanders there were campaigns in Egypt, Palestine, Gallipoli and Mesopotamia. 4. Campaigns and Battles of World War 1. The Western Front. The Western Front was the name given to the fighting zone in France and Flanders where the British, French, Belgian and American armies faced that of Germany. The Western Front stretched from Nieuport on the Belgian coast, through the flat lands of industrial Artois, continuing through the wide expanses of the Somme and Champagne into the high Vosges and on to the Swiss border. From the moment that the German army moved quietly into Luxembourg on the 2nd of August 1914 until the armistice on the 11th November 1918, the fighting on the Western Front never stopped. The war was fought in three phases, the first phase being a war of movement as Germany attacked France and the allies sought to halt it, the second phase, the lengthy and terribly costly siege warfare as the entrenched lines proved impossible to crack from late 1914 until mid-1918, and finally a return to mobile warfare as the allies applied lessons and technologies developed in the previous years. 8 The main battles of the first phase are as follows (a war of encounter and movement):- 23.08.1914 - 24.08.1914 The Battle of Mons 26.08.1914 - 01.09.1914 The Battle of Le Cateau 07.09.1914 - 10.09.1914 The Battle of the Marne 12.09.1914 - 15.09.1914 The Battle of the Aisne 04.10.1914 - 04.10.1914 The Defence of Antwerp 10.10.1914 - 02.11.1914 The Battle of La Basse 12.10.1914 - 02.11.1914 The Battle of Messines 13.10.1914 - 02.11.1914 The Battle of Armentieres 19.10.1914 - 22.11.1914 The Battles of Ypres (First Ypres) The main battles of the second phase are as follows (entrenched siege warfare):- 10.03.1915 - 22.04.1915 The Battle of Neuve Chapelle 22.04.1915 - 25.05.1915 The Battles of Ypres (Second Ypres) 09.05.1915 - 10.05.1915 The Battle of Aubers 15.05.1915 - 25.05.1915 The Battle of Festubert 25.09.1915 - 18.10.1915 The Battle of Loos 01.07.1916 - 18.11.1916 The Battles of the Somme 11.01.1917 - 13.03.1917 Operations on the Ancre 9 The main battles of the third phase (entrenched siege warfare):- 14.03.1917 - 05.04.1917 German Retreat to the Hindenberg Line 09.04.1917 - 16.06.1917 The Arras Offensive 07.06.1917 – 11.07.1917 The Battle of Messines 31.07.1917 - 10.11.1917 The Battles of Ypres (Third Ypres or Passchendaele) 20.11.1917 - 30.12.1917 The Cambrai Operations Main battles of the final phase (open warfare):- 21.03.1918 - 04.07.1918 The Battles of the Somme 09.04.1918 - 29.04.1918 The Battles of the Lys 27.05.1918 - 06.06.1918 The Battle of Aisne 20.07.1918 - 02.08.1918 The Battles of the Marne 08.08.1918 - 17.08.1918 The Battle of Amiens 21.08.1918 - 03.09.1918 The Second Battles of the Somme 26.08.1918 - 03.09.1918 The Second battles of Arras 12.09.1918 - 12.10.1918 The Battles of the Hindenberg Line 28.09.1918 - 11.11.1918 The Final Advance in Flanders 02.10.1918 - 11.11.1918 The Final Advance in Artois 17.10.1918 - 11.11.1918 The Final Advance in Picardy 10 11 Egypt and Palestine.

  • Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why the Other Eight Months Deserve the Same Recognition As the Landing
    THE Simpson PRIZE A COMPETITION FOR YEAR 9 AND 10 STUDENTS 2016 Winner Western Australia Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why The Other Eight Months Deserve The Same Recognition As The Landing Samai King Gifted and Talented Online rom its early beginnings in 1916, Anzac Day and the associated Anzac legend have come to be an essential part of Australian culture. Our history of the Gallipoli campaign lacks a consensus view as there are many Fdifferent interpretations and accounts competing for our attention. By far the most well-known event of the Gallipoli campaign is the landing of the ANZAC forces on the 25th of April, 1915. Our celebration of, and obsession with, just one single day of the campaign is a disservice to the memory of the men and women who fought under the Anzac banner because it dismisses the complexity and drudgery of the Gallipoli campaign: the torturous trenches and the ever present fear of snipers. Our ‘Anzac’ soldier is a popularly acclaimed model of virtue, but is his legacy best represented by a single battle? Many events throughout the campaign are arguably more admirable than the well-lauded landing, for example the Battle for Lone Pine. Almost four times as many men died in the period of the Battle of Lone Pine than during the Landing. Statistics also document the surprisingly successful evacuation - they lost not even a single soldier to combat. We have become so enamored by the ‘Landing’ that it is now more celebrated and popular than Remembrance Day which commemorates the whole of the First World War in which Anzacs continued to serve.

All major powers of Europe had a stake in the Middle East and the division of the spoils would inevitably bring some difficulties. For a full century, the carving of the Sick Man of Europe had been postponed by conferences to avoid European wars. Prime Minister Asquith therefore created a committee, on 9 April 1915, under a senior Foreign Office diplomat, Maurice de Bunsen, to propose a policy in regard to the division of the Middle East among Allies. The Bunsen Committee had representatives from the Colonial Office, the Admiralty, the India Office and other relevant departments. The War Office was officially represented by General Sir Charles Calwell, but Kitchener Colonel Sir Tatton Benvenuto Mark Sykes, 6th Baronet (16 March 1879 – 16 February 1919) insisted that he should have his own personal representative on the Committee. That representative was Sir Mark Sykes, a Member of Parliament who was well known as a Kitchener hand with some experience in Constantinople, and who would turn out to influence the committee to the point of singlehanded direction. This committee will produce a first report in June 1915 but will continue as a think-tank for the British government on Middle Eastern developments.

  • August 2020 Chairman’S Column
    THE TIGER Papaver somniferum “Victoria Cross” grown during lockdown THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 105 – AUGUST 2020 CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to The Tiger. Tempting though it is to add my personal comments on the selfish minority (the so-called “Covidiots”) of our local population who have condemned the good citizens of Leicester and parts of Leicestershire to further loss of liberty and inconvenience, I am mindful that the pages of this Newsletter are not necessary the correct platform for my opinions on this matter. Suffice it to say, however, I hope the miscreants concerned can be traced and punished as a reminder to all that the laws of this land apply to the entire population without exception. Needless to say, in these circumstances, our July Branch Meeting will not be taking place. Moving, therefore, to more pleasant matters, Valerie & I were pleased to receive, from member Elaine Merryfield, this month’s cover photograph of a Victoria Cross Poppy, grown by Elaine during our period of lockdown. This most striking of poppies features a white cross in the centre of its bright red petals and its inclusion this month is particularly appropriate since it coincides with the conclusion of a series of articles by our regular contributor, Roy-Anthony Birch, on the subject of horticulture and the Great War. Those of you amongst our readership who are familiar with Kew Gardens may also be aware that the Temple of Arethusa. Constructed as a folly in 1758 for Princess Augusta (Princess of Wales and mother of King George III) it also contains a War Memorial commemorating the fallen of the Kew Guild and the Staff of the Royal Botanic Gardens.
