  • Section, No-Man's Land Was Everywhere Exceptionally Wide
    Extract from ‘Westcountry Regiments on the Somme’ By Major (Retired) Tim Saunders MBE (Late D and D) This book covers the part played by both the Devonshire and Dorset Regiments in the 1916 Battle. It covers the arrival of the battalions on the Somme, preliminary operations and the part they played in the various phases of this grimmest of battles from the disaster of 1 July through to the very final attack in mid November. The extract below is on the attack of 2nd Battalion the Devonshire Regiment on Ovillers la Boissele on 1st July 1916; the blackest day in the long history of the British Army. Introduction Of the five Westcountry battalions in action on the first day of the battle, 2/Devon was one of the two battalions that attacked or ‘went over the top’ in the first wave at Zero Hour. They had arrived on the Somme, to join the Fourth Army, at the end of March with 8th Division joining III Corps. Along with the remainder of the Army, the Devons worked hard training and preparing for the great offensive. Meanwhile, the Germans, with only the questions of time, date and boundaries of the British attack to determine, continued to strengthen their position. The German Positions Opposite III Corps, the Germans 26th Reserve Division occupied positions on three spurs that ran down from the Pozieres Ridge. The two fingers of high ground of significance to 8th Division and the Devons were the Ovillers Spur and the la Boisselle Spur. Both were crowned with German held villages that had been developed into fortresses within the front line trench systems.

  • 1 Private Henry Charles Crane (Regimental Number 1405) Is
    Private Henry Charles Crane (Regimental Number 1405) is buried in Doullens Communal Cemetery Extension Number 1 – Grave reference: I. B. 7. His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a railroad worker and earning a monthly one-hundred dollars, Henry Charles Crane presented himself for medical examination in the Conception Bay community of Harbour Grace on April 7, 1915. It was a procedure which was to pronounce his as…Fit for Foreign Service. (continued) 1 Having by that time travelled to St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland, he enlisted two days following his medical assessment, on April 9, at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury on Harvey Road where he was engaged at the daily private soldier’s rate a single dollar plus a ten-cent per diem Field Allowance. It was now to be a further ten days, the date April 19, before he was to undergo his attestation, to swear his Oath of Allegiance, the concluding official formality. At that moment Henry Charles Crane became…a soldier of the King. *A second source has him attesting on the day of his enlistment. There was now to be a lengthy waiting period of nine weeks less a day before Private Crane, Regimental Number 1405, was to embark onto His Majesty’s Transport Calgarian on June 20 in St. John’s Harbour and sail (almost*) directly to the United Kingdom. He was one of the two-hundred forty-two men of ‘F’ Company and eighty-five naval reservists to take passage on that day. (Right above: Naval reservists from Newfoundland, during the early days of the Great War, before their departure for the United Kingdom - from The War Illustrated) Where Private Crane was to spend the interim between his attestation and his departure on…overseas service…is not clear – and is not documented among his papers.

About the Cemetery Codes used in Part 4 The author researched and wrote this book in the 1990s. It was designed to be published in print although, sadly, this was not achieved during his lifetime. Throughout the text, John Bilcliffe used a set of alpha-numeric codes to abbreviate cemetery names. In Part 4 each soldier’s name is followed by a Cemetery Code and, where known, the Grave Reference, as identified by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Here are two examples of the codes and what they represent: T2 Thiepval Memorial A5 VII.B.22 Adanac Military Cemetery, Miraumont: Section VII, Row B, Grave no.

  • The Earliest Evidence of Acheulian Occupation in Northwest
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The earliest evidence of Acheulian occupation in Northwest Europe and the rediscovery of the Moulin Received: 5 December 2017 Accepted: 19 August 2019 Quignon site, Somme valley, France Published: xx xx xxxx Pierre Antoine1, Marie-Hélène Moncel2, Pierre Voinchet2, Jean-Luc Locht1,3, Daniel Amselem2, David Hérisson 4, Arnaud Hurel2 & Jean-Jacques Bahain2 The dispersal of hominin groups with an Acheulian technology and associated bifacial tools into northern latitudes is central to the debate over the timing of the oldest human occupation of Europe. New evidence resulting from the rediscovery and the dating of the historic site of Moulin Quignon demonstrates that the frst Acheulian occupation north of 50°N occurred around 670–650 ka ago. The new archaeological assemblage was discovered in a sequence of fuvial sands and gravels overlying the chalk bedrock at a relative height of 40 m above the present-day maximal incision of the Somme River and dated by ESR on quartz to early MIS 16. More than 260 fint artefacts were recovered, including large fakes, cores and fve bifaces. This discovery pushes back the age of the oldest Acheulian occupation of north-western Europe by more than 100 ka and bridges the gap between the archaeological records of northern France and England. It also challenges hominin dispersal models in Europe showing that hominins using bifacial technology, such as Homo heidelbergensis, were probably able to overcome cold climate conditions as early as 670–650 ka ago and reasserts the importance of the Somme valley, where Prehistory was born at the end of the 19th century.

  • The Western Front;
    The Western Front Drawings by Muirhead Bone PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE WAR OFFICE FROM THE OFFICES OF "COUNTRY LIFE" LTD 20 TAVISTOCK STREET COVENT GARDEN LONDON MCMXVII GENERAL SIR DOUGLAS HAIG, GCB, GCVO, KCIE. GRAND PLACE AND RUINS OF THE CLOTH HALL, YPRES The gaunt emptiness of Ypres is expressed in this drawing, done from the doorway of a ruined church in a neighbouring square. The grass has grown long this summer on the Grand Place and is creeping up over the heaps of ruins. The only continuous sound in Ypres is that of birds, which sing in it as if it were country. A STREET IN YPRES In the distance is seen what remains of the Cloth Hall. On the right a wall long left unsupported is bending to its fall. The crash of such a fail is one of the few sounds that now break the silence of Ypres, where the visitor starts at the noise of a distant footfall in the grass-grown streets. DISTANT VIEW OF YPRES The Ypres salient is here seen from a knoll some six miles south-west of the city, which is marked, near the centre of the drawing, by the dominant ruin of the cathedral. The German front line is on the heights beyond, Hooge being a little to the spectator’s right of the city and Zillebeke slightly more to the right again. Dickebusch lies about half way between the eye and Ypres. The fields in sight are covered with crops, varied by good woodland. To a visitor coming from the Somme battlefield the landscape looks rich and almost peaceful.
