9062 Pte Arthur Harpham, 2nd Bn, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

9062 Pte Arthur Harpham of the 2nd Battalion, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, was killed in action on the 30th August 1914. Arthur was a Nottinghamshire man who was born at Selston in Notts and enlisted at Nottingham. His army service number suggests that he originally joined up in 1906 or 1907. Arthur arrived in France with his battalion on 10th August 1914 and according to his medal index card was presumed dead on the 26th August. This was subsequently revised to the 30th and it is this date which appears on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database. Arthur Harpham has no known grave and like Stuart Laverty, who I remembered on the 24th August, is commemorated by name on the La Ferte-sous-Jouarre Memorial on the Aisne.

I'm rationalising my blogs. I have too many to keep them all active and so I'm going to cease posting on some of them. In any event, it's been a while since I posted anything here. I'll still keep the blog open but I just won't post any more content here. In the meantime though, do visit my my blogs at:

Etaples Military Cemetery

I'm a huge fan of Lutyens and this is one of 'his' cemeteries and also the largest CWGC cemetery in France. There are nearly 11,000 First World War burials here, grim testimony to the many hospitals at Etaples which, at their peak, could deal with 22,000 sick and wounded and men.

The cemetery is interesting because you can plot the expansion of it by the dates on the headstones. The semi-circular arrangement of headstones in the distance are exclusively officers; another interesting feature of this cemetery in that these men at least are certainly not united in death with other ranks.

There are the usual touching inscriptions on many of the headstones. STK/488 L-Cpl Arthur Paston Parnell of the 10th (Stockbrokers') Battalion, Royal Fusiliers died of wounds on the 17th April 1917. His wife's inscription simply reads, "The dearly loved husband of Annie A Parnell of Sunderland, Co Durham." Arthur had married Annie A Thompson in Brentford, Middlesex in the first half of 1915. Their time together must have therefore been very short-lived as Arthur had proceeded overseas on the 31st July 1915. Annie re-married - Harry S Parkin - in Sunderland in 1922. By 1939 the couple was living at Alexandra Park, Sunderland.

M2/101849 L/Cpl George Collins, ASC

Remembering M2/101849 Lance-Corporal George Collins of the Army Service Corps who died of wounds a hundred years ago today on the 18th July 1917.

Born in Harwell, Berkshire, he was living in Camberley Surrey when he enlisted, at Portsmouth, in the British Army. He was the husband of Minnie Louisa Colins of 412 Kingsley Road, Milton, Portsmouth and he is buried in Croix-Rouge Military Cemetery in Quaedypre, France.

"All our casualties now are caused by snipers, and all through the head..."

In closing remarks to his mother, in a letter written on the 3rd April 1915, Captain, The Honourable William Fraser, 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders, wrote:

"All our casualties now are caused by snipers, and all through the head. Men will not take sufficient care not to show their heads.  With love to Father and Mary..."

The extract is taken from In Good Company, recently re-published by Pen & Sword and a compelling and well-written account based on the diaries of The Hon William Fraser who served with both the 1st & 2nd Battalions of the Gordon Highlanders.

At the time of writing, William had been "18 days in the trenches without rest" and both the war diary and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission note casualties.  I have taken the list below from the Commonwealth war Graves Commission website - which includes all deaths for the 1st Battalion during this period - and then cross-referenced these against the war diary. I have literally taken Captain Fraser at his word and so this casualty list covers the period from 17th March to the 3rd April 1915

3/6270 Private Alfred Wallace Bruce, aged 32, killed in action on 17/03/1915
S/8245 Private George Hamilton, killed in action on 17/03/1915
S/6923 Private Charles A Macdonald aged 29, died of wounds on 17/03/1915
6842 Private William Patrick Quinn aged 33, killed in action on 17/03/1915
S/3265 Private James A Sloss aged 28, killed in action on 17/03/1915
73 Private William Willox, aged 24, killed in action on 17/03/1915
3/6485 Private John Wilson, killed in action on 17/03/1915

Strangely, the war diary makes no mention of any casualties and indeed notes "No casualties." The men who died this day are a mixture of regular soldiers (Patrick Quinn who enlisted in 1899 and William Willox who enlisted in 1908), Special Reserve (Private John Wilson) and Kitchener volunteers (S/ prefix).

8474 Private John Park died as a PoW in Germany on 22/03/1915
S/2527 Lance Corporal Matthew Bruce Sillars aged 37 on 22/03/1915

The war diary reports three men wounded. Private Park was a regular soldier, Bruce Sillars was a Kitchener volunteer.

7165 Private Robert Jeffrey killed in action on 24/03/1915
10166 Serjeant William A. Reid aged 26, killed in action on 24/03/1915

The war diary reports two men killed and one wounded. Both Robert Jeffrey and Serjeant Reid were regular soldiers, and Jeffrey had been a soldier since 1900.

6 Private Alfred Wallace McDonald aged 25, died of wounds on 27/03/1915

The war diary reports "No casualties". Private McDonald had been a regular soldier since June 1908.

S/3613 Private William Stevenson aged 21, died of wounds on 31/03/1915

The war diary reports "No casualties". Private Stevenson was a Kitchener volunteer.

S/3281 Private Walter Law aged 26, killed in action on 01/04/1915

The war diary reports "one man wounded". Walter Law was a Kitchener volunteer.

William Fraser would not only survive the war, but survive it with distinction, being awarded the DSO three times, the Military Cross, and Mentioned in Despatches three times.  He would die in 1964.

Remembrance Day- 13th November 2016

11th November 2016

I was at the cenotaph on Friday to pay my respects to those who went before. My interest in military history began withe the First World War and so as I stood with my head bowed I silently recounted the names of those men whom I wished to thank and remember. It begins with my family:

Walter Nixon

Jack Nixon

Sid Nixon

Edgar Nixon

Alf Nixon

Bert Elam

Charles Arthur Roberts

I then recalled the men I had interviewed, mostly between 1980 and 1985 when I was a young man at school and later at university, and the men I was interviewing were in their eighties, nineties and, in a couple of cases, hundreds. I remembered pleasant times with:

Harry Bardsley

Stan Brown

Frederick Cutts

Reg Crane

Bob Bailey

Donald Banks

Wilf Wortley

These were all men who I met on multiple occasions and, dare I say, became friends with, although to me they were always Mr Bardsley, Mr Brown, Mr Cutts; never Harry, Stan or Fred.  

I am honoured to have had ancestors who fought for Britain in the First World War, honoured too to have met and chatted with men - well over a hundred of them in the end - who shouldered arms for King and Country during those terrible years 1914-1918. Today, on this Remembrance Sunday, I remember them all.

St Andrew's Church, Colne Engaine

A war memorial at Colne Engaine, Essex; built in 2014 thanks to the generosity of local donors, has seen more names added to the village's roll-call of men who lost their lives during the First and Second World Wars. 

Inside the St Andrew's church, a memorial lists the names of 18 men who fell during in the First World War, with two casualties from the Second World War added later.  

The more recent memorial provides more detail on the men, including the year in which they died, and I list the names below, in the order in which they appear on the memorial. Names in bold are those names missing from the church memorial.

First World War 1914-1918

Bertram W Dixey 1917

Percy Edgar Dixey 1917

George A Boreham 1918

Stanley Butcher 1915

Sidney Carter 1916

Charles Catterwell 1917

Stanley M Coppin 1816

Scott Fairbank 1915

George Fordham 1917

Alfred James Gardner 1918

David Basil Hart 1918

Douglas Charles Hibble 1917

George Hicks 1918

Raymond George Lane 1918

George Quartermain 1917

George Charles Reynolds 1916

Bert Ridgwell 1916

Harry George Smith 1917

Tom Smith 1915

Ernest Wakeling 1915

Percy G Wakeling 1915

Frederick Willsher 1918

Frank James Wright 1917

Second World War 1939-1945

John Louis Colclough Watson 1941

Edward Cotterill Scholefield 1941

Rupert Mortimer Legge 1944

Ronald Wilfred Symonds 1944

I am sure that a lot of thought went into the new memorial but I am at a loss to understand why Bertram and Percy Dixey appear at the top of the roll call. Bertram is buried in the churchyard and Percy, presumably related, was from the nearby village of Pebmarsh. I wonder also, why the men's ranks or regiments or regimental numbers were not included on the new roll. Maybe it came down to cost in the end. Nevertheless, it's good to see that 100 years after the outbreak of the Great War, there was still sufficient drive and determination to get this project off the ground and realise it in such a well-crafted manner.  I took a number of photographs on a late autumn afternoon and will be happy to send these on to anyone with an interest in this community. Drop me a line via the research tab.

Remembering the 5th & 9th Londons; 9th October 1916

Caterpillar Valley Cemetery, Longueval; last resting place of seven of the men listed below.

Of the 692 British Army officers and men who lost their lives on this day, 9th October 1916, no fewer than 369 have no known grave and are commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. The 5th London Regiment and the 9th London Regiment lost particularly heavily on this day and I list the casualties below as recorded by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Here, the regimental numbers really tell the story. Of the 116 5th London men who died on this day, 83 were still officially regarded as missing when the Territorial Force was re-numbered in early 1917 and were issued with new six-digit numbers. Many of them would never be found. Only eleven of these men have known graves.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

Whatever happened to Jack?

Today, 3rd October 2016, I remember my great uncle, John (Jack) Frederick Nixon, who was killed in action 98 years ago. 

In the photograph above, four of the five Nixon brothers set out on a night out. Sid is on the left, with Jack next to him, then Edgar, then Walter (my grandfather). The photographer was probably the youngest brother, Alf. All five would serve in the First World War and all but Jack would survive.

You can read a lot into events a hundred years ago, but my own feeling is that the First World War completely changed the dynamic that existed in the family prior to 1914. I am fortunate to possess a lot of family photos from that time, and the evidence I have seen shows that the family did things together. They were a large family of seven girls and five boys but they certainly went away together (that's some of the family at Gorleston above in about 1910 or 1911 with Jack larking about, far left), played together and joked together. In the photo below, probably taken in the back yard of their Stoke Newington house, Jack (left) and Alf (centre) are in drag, whilst my grandfather is a black and white minstrel.

There were also formal occasions when the family would get together, sometimes with an aspidistra thrown in for good measure. In the photo below, Jack is standing at the back right, and my great grandfather and great grandmother have also turned out for the occasion. The photo probably dates to around 1912.

When Britain went to war in 1914, Alf was a serving territorial and immediately volunteered to serve overseas. His brothers were somewhat less enthusiastic. Edgar joined the Royal Flying Corps in 1916 whilst Sid, Jack and Walter all attested under the Derby Scheme in late 1915 and were mobilised the following year. Walter went into the Royal Garrison Artillery whilst Jack and Sid went into the Rifle Brigade. The undated photo of Jack, below, was found in a box of photos belonging to Edgar's only daughter, Olive, who died a few years ago. It almost certainly dates to 1916.

Jack arrived in France in late August 1916 and served with the 16th Battalion, Rifle Brigade until posted to the 8th London Regiment in August 1918. It was whilst serving with the 8th London Regiment that he was killed in action. His body was obviously found because his identity discs - stained with his blood -, and some other small tokens, would later be returned to his mother. She kept the discs and had the blood stains covered over with pink nail varnish. They were found in a box of buttons and odds and ends in his niece's home in Canada and given to me, the nail varnish still very visible.

What should have happened of course was that one disc should have remained on Jack's body so that he could be given a named burial later. This from the Imperial War Museum:

"By 1915 the British Army requirement was to wear two official tags, both made of compressed fibre (more comfortable to wear in hot climates) and carrying identical details. These were again stamped a letter at a time.  The two tags required stringing in a particular way. An eight-sided green tag with two holes was strung through one hole and hung around the neck. Through the second hole another much shorter cord was strung, which had a round red tag on it. This method allowed the red tag to be retrieved simply by cutting its short string, leaving the green tag still in place on the body. It meant that others subsequently finding a body with only a green tag would know that the death was already being reported. They could use the details on the green tag to prepare a grave marker."

Whichever well-meaning soul removed his identity discs and emptied his pockets, robbed him of a named Imperial War Graves Commission cross. Instead, he is remembered by name on the Vis en Artois Memorial near Arras, a place I have visited several times, including twice this year. In the photo below, Taken in August this year, my daughter holds the cross  and photo I had left for Jack when I was there six weeks earlier.

Jack was 27 years old and single when he was killed. Had he lived, he may well have gone on to lead a happy but normal and unremarkable life like his siblings. Instead, his death, and the wartime experiences of his brothers broke the family dynamic. There are photos of the family taken after the war, but Jack is of course missing, and Sid is also nowhere to be seen (although he was actually not far away, now living in South London, and he would re-surface in later years). One of the boys' sisters, Ethel Bertha Nixon, would meet a Canadian serviceman in London and emigrate to Canada in 1919.

Today then, 3rd October 2016, ninety-eight years after he was killed in action, I again remember my great uncle, Jack Nixon, and in doing so I also remember his brothers, two of whom would name their sons John (and in Sid's case, John Frederick).

Jack Nixon (1891-1918) is pictured right. 

If there are any Nixons out there who are related to these brothers - or their sisters - please do get in touch. The sisters' maiden names were:

Lily Elizabeth Nixon, later Lily Elizabeth Maisey 1880-1968

Elizabeth Julia Nixon, later Elizabeth Julia James 1882-1951

Blanche Gertrude Nixon 1883-1976

Mabel Emma Nixon 1889-1945

Ethel Bertha Nixon, later Ethel Bertha Anderson b.1899

Edith Winifred Nixon, later Edith Winifred Bartlett 1901-1982

Jessie Mildred Nixon, later Jessie Mildred Pymm 1905-1995

Remembering 1st October 1916

This depressing list of 893 officers and men is a roll call of British Army deaths one hundred years ago today on the 1st October 1916. Adding in those killed whilst serving in the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, as well as other Commonwealth casualties, would have increased the total to 1,442. And remember, these are the casualties from a single day's fighting. I have also written about this on my Army Service Numbers blog.

493 of these men are commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial (pictured above in 1932, courtesy of The Lutyens Trust), testimony to the savage fighting as the Somme battles ground relentlessly on.

The London Regiment lost heavily on this day (249 dead), particularly the 1st, 17th and 20th Battalions; as did the Durham Light Infantry with 93 dead, most of these territorials.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
