  • Joseph Henry Baylis
    Joseph Henry Baylis Joseph Henry was born in Isleworth in 1886 and was the first child born to Joseph George and Emily Baylis (nee Hall) who had married in 1885 in Brentford. By the time Joseph was 4 years old, the family had moved from 39 Eve Road Isleworth, to Bromley and Joseph had a baby sister, Lottie. Joseph senior was a Lighterman, a highly skilled man who operated a ‘lighter’, a type of flat-bottomed barge, moved by oar and water currents in the Port of London. Ten years later the family had moved to Rotherhithe and three more children had been born, Clara, Frederick and Charles. The 1911 Census tells us that Joseph was 24 and a clerk in a bank. On the 20th May 1911, shortly after the 1911 Census had been taken, Joseph married Emma Jackson at All Saints Church, Rotherhithe. Joseph enlisted at Deptford and joined 12th (Service) Battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps. This Battalion was part of the 60th Brigade, attached to the 20th (Light) Division. After training, the Battalion proceeded to France on the 22nd of July 1915, landing at Boulogne and moved to the Fleurbaix area for familiarisation. There is no date of enlistment for Joseph. Forces War Records lists all the battles that his regiment fought so Joseph may well have been involved in all the 1916 battles on the Somme - The Battle of Mount Sorrel, The Battle of Delville Wood, The Battle of Guillemont, The Battle of Flers-Courcelette, The Battle of Morval, The Battle of Le Transloy. He must have been exhausted both physically and mentally.

  • The National Commemorative Event to Mark the Centenary of the Battle of the Somme
    THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATIVE EVENT TO MARK THE CENTENARY OF THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME The Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme 1 July 2016 1 His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales 2 3 The Right Honourable David Cameron MP The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 42 1O DOWNING STREET LONDON SW1A 2AA We come together today to honour all those involved in a battle that is seared onto our national consciousness. For many the Somme Offensive came to define the First World War. The scale of the sacrifice – almost 20,000 British dead on the first day; a million casualties on all sides overall – is reflected by the sheer size of the towering Thiepval Memorial. We think of the volunteers of the Pals’ Battalions, formed of men from the same communities, workplaces, clubs and schools – clerks, teachers, butchers, footballers and more who would never return home. We think of the impact of the devastation – felt by almost every community in Britain – which left mothers without sons, wives without husbands, and children without fathers. And we think of the joint nature of the Somme offensive, with this Anglo-French battle memorial bearing over 72,000 names of those who have no known grave. So this is an opportunity to reflect upon, and strengthen, Britain’s historic bond of friendship with the French Republic. It is a chance to stand together as friends with the representatives from the participant nations of the battle who are here today – from Germany, Ireland, and from across the Commonwealth – honouring the contribution of all nations.
