WW1 Remembrance 1914-1918

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

2023-03-17T10:29:00.003+00:00

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. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. Sources: Ancestry.co.uk (MIC) Army Ancestry Army Service Numbers 1881-1918 Commonwealth War Graves Commission

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

2017-08-13T12:24:00.001+01:00

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

2017-07-18T09:31:00.003+01:00

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..."

2016-12-02T13:12:00.000+00:00

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

2016-11-13T08:06:00.000+00:00

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

2016-11-01T15:59:00.003+00:00

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

2016-10-09T20:35:00.000+01:00

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.

Whatever happened to Jack?

2016-10-03T16:43:00.000+01:00

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.

18th August 1916

2016-08-18T06:57:00.000+01:00

As the Somme battle ground relentlessly on, over 1800 British Army officers and men would die on this day alone. Of these, 13 men were from my local regiment, The Essex Regiment. They were:

21000 Private Stanley Arthur Brooks
26933 Private Herbert William Cornell
26913 Private James Ewers
27390 Private James Daniel Finch
27355 Private Frederick Foster
18743 Private Frederick Herbert Gibbs
24643 Lance Corporal Harry Hammond
26839 Private Douglas Roy Michell
27367 Private Oliver Mothersele
26594 Private Robert Livingstone Mckenzie
Second Lieutenant Arthur James Balfour Pearson
26182 Private John Edgar Radley
20147 Private Walter Tonge

Stanley Brooks (from Southend-on-Sea) and Frederick Gibbs (from Bow) were both serving with the 1st Battalion, Essex Regiment in Belgium when they were killed in action. They are buried next to each other in the Potijze Burial Ground Cemetery.

Second Lieutenant Arthur Pearson was serving with a Territorial Force battalion, the 5th Battalion, when, he was killed in action at the age of 21.

All of the other men who died this day were serving with the 11th Battalion, Essex Regiment. Six of these men have no known graves are commemorated on the Thiepval memorial (pictured above, courtesy of Wikipedia).

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

Sleeping companions: 18382 Pte M J Cawley, MGC & 18144 Pte W Briggs, MGC

2016-07-26T10:37:00.000+01:00

Michael Joseph Cawley and William Briggs, both of A Company, 38th Machine Gun Corps, lie next to each other in The Guards Cemetery at Lesboeufs. Both were killed in action on the same day - 2nd September 1918 - and both were exhumed from the same spot on the battlefield and re-buried here in September 1919. The unknown soldier on the left was also brought in from the battlefield, but from a different location.

Note that Michael's name has been rendered incorrectly in the dedication supplied by his widow. The CWGC headstone records his name as MICHEAL although it is impossible to say whether this was an error introduced by the CWGC or by his widow. One would presume it was the former.

Michael was the son of Michael and Mary Cawley (nee Coleman) and the husband of Mrs. E. McCauley (formerly Cawley), of 101, Canton St., Providence, Rhode Island, USA. He was 23 years old when he was killed.

Less is known of William Briggs. He was born in Radclffe, Lancashire and enlisted at Bolton in February 1916. His and Michael's regimental numbers are close enough together for them to have enlisted, if not on the same day, then certainly within a few days of each other. They have lain together in a foreign field for nearly 98 years. RIP.

St Peter, South Weald, Essex

2016-07-19T00:48:00.001+01:00

I have only barely scratched the surface here, but wanted to record the names of the men commemorated on four wooden panels in the parish church of St Peter, South Weald, Essex. Not for the first time, I was staggered by the number of names for such a small community. The panels only give the briefest of details and where possible I have expanded these by referring to Soldiers Died in The Great War and The Commonwealth War Graves Commission. I would not be at all surprised if someone out there has not already researched these names, but having visited the church briefly on Sunday, I thought the least I could do was to record the names of the fallen here.

25793 Pte James Walters, 9th Sherwood Foresters

2016-07-06T23:42:00.000+01:00

During my recent trip to the Somme, I came across this grave in Delville Wood Cemetery. James Walters was 16 years old when he was killed in action on the 9th August 1916 and had already served at Gallipoli.

He had enlisted at Nottingham on the 3rd May 1915 giving his date of birth as the 15th September 1896 although his true date of birth was the 15th September 1899. He was therefore just 15 years old when he took the King's shilling. Furthermore, his attestation papers in series WO 363 indicate that he signed up as a career soldier - for seven and five - rather than for the duration of the war.

Born in Old Basford, Nottingham, James was the second eldest child of James and Hannah Walker and appears with his them and six siblings on the 1911 census. If anyone questioned his age, this certainly did not prevent him from sailing for Gallipoli on the 18th September 1915, three days after his sixteenth birthday and with a little over four months' training under his belt. He survived Gallipoli, embarking at Imbros on the 29th January 1916 en route for France, via Alexandria.

At the time of his death he was attached to the 8th South Staffordshire Regiment and his papers record his date of death as the 11th August 1916 although this was later officially amended to the 8th August. His mother asked for the words, WORTHY OF EVERLASTING LOVE to be chiselled onto his headstone.

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

SD/2268 Pte Ernest James Coppard, 12th Royal Sussex Regiment

2016-07-03T23:25:00.000+01:00

I have just returned from a three-day trip to the Somme. I wanted to mark the 100th anniversary of the South Down battalions' decimation as part of a diversionary attack on the so-called Boar's Head at Richebourg L'Avoue on the 30th June 1916, and so I attended the commemoration ceremony at St Vaast Post Military Cemetery which contains a number of South Downs dead from that day.

It's not hard to find touching inscriptions on headstones on the Western Front but I was particularly struck by this one on the headstone of Ernest Coppard. It reads, "Safe from the fume and fret / You whom I never forget".

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission notes that Ernest was the son of Albert and Sarah Coppard, and the husband of Alice Emily Coppard of 26 Seville Street, Elm Grove, Brighton. The words on the headstone were chosen by Alice and cost her 11 shillings and 11 pence to have chiselled into the Portland stone. Ernest was 29 years old, a Brighton-born man who enlisted at Hove in February 1915. He and Alice had been married for under a year when he was killed in action. General Register Office marriage records show that he married Alice Gearing in Brighton in the third quarter of 1915 and so he would have spent precious little time with her before sailing for France in early 1916.

Alice Coppard never re-married. She appears on the 1939 Register, still living at 26 Seville Street and working as a book-sewer in a public library. Her widowed mother, Florence Gearing, was also living with her. She died in Brighton in 1972 at the age of 85. At the time of her death she had been a widow for 55 years. There were no children from her all-too-brief marriage to Ernest.

Remembering 6th March 1915

2016-03-06T12:23:00.001+00:00

I am certain that none of the individuals listed below could ever have believed that they would be destined to be forever united with each other. And yet they all share the unhappy distinction of losing their lives on the 6th March 1915, one hundred and one years ago today.

There is certainly a mixture of service and nationalities represented here: men of the regular army, men of the special reserve, Kitchener recruits, men from the Dominions. Of particular interest to me is Gefreiter Gustav Nowak of the German Army who is buried in the Ukamas cemetery in Namibia; an enemy of the allies but buried by and remembered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Also dying on this day, Nursing Sister Louisa Jordan of the Scottish Women's Hospital who is buried in the Chela Kula Military Cemetery in Nis, Serbia (above).

By First World War standards, 6th March 1915 was a quiet day for the allies. Nevertheless, 128 men and one woman gave their lives this day and are remembered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission from where the following list is taken.

Broken hearts for two Ox and Bucks men

2016-02-14T21:59:00.001+00:00

For no other reason than I've just finished some research for a client whose ancestor served with the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry during the First World War, I thought I would remember today, those men from the regiment who lost their lives on Valentine's Day.

There are no recorded deaths for 1915 and just one for 14th February 1916: 17040 Pte Percy Slatford, 6th Battalion. Percy was 33 years old and is commemorated on the Menin Gate at Ypres (above, courtesy CWGC). He was the husband of Winifred Emily Slatford (nee Earls) whom he had married in Oxford in 1904. She would later re-marry James Stubbs in Woodstock, Oxfordshire in 1919.

When the 1911 census was taken, Percy and Winifred were living at 32 Lake Street, New Hinksey, Oxfordshire. Percy was working as a farm labourer and they had four children: Alice Vera Slatford (aged 5), George Slatford (aged 4), Gertrude May Slatford (aged 3) and Violet Edith Slatford (aged 5 months). GRO records reveal that a second son, Leslie V Slatford, was born in 1913. None of these children would see their father again after he left for France on the 22nd July 1915.

The following year, on 14th February 1917, 28396 Pte John Robert Ing of the 3rd Garrison Battalion, Ox and Bucks Light Infantry, died at Milton Hospital, Portsmouth and was buried in his native Long Crendon (St Mary) Churchyard. He was 34 years old, the son of the late Michael Ing, and Fanny Ing and the husband of Dorothy Ing (nee Warner). The couple had married in 1916, their marriage registered in the final quarter of that year. They had therefore only been married for a matter of months when John Ing died. I believe that Dorothy later re-married in 1923. There is a birth registered for a John M Ing in the third quarter of 1917, mother's maiden name, Warner and it would seem possible that this was the child that John Robert Ing never lived to see. Note however, that a Dorothy V Ing, with the same mother's maiden name, was born in 1920.

No Ox and Bucks men lost their lives on Valentine's Day 1918.

Images of the Great War - Lawrence Dunn

2016-01-21T22:27:00.001+00:00

I've been dipping in and out of Images of the Great War by Lawrence Dunn. Published by Austin Macauley, this is a lovely, wide-ranging book which covers not just those artists whose work will be familiar to many, but also lesser-known painters and illustrators some of whose work will be instantly recognisable, others less so.

Lawrence Dunn clearly knows his stuff and writes knowledgeably and enthusiastically. Here, in a single volume, we have well-known artists like Eric Kennington, Paul Nash, CR Nevinson, William Orpen and Stanley Spencer, and alongside them, the creators of iconic artwork who may be less well known: Anna Airy, Joyce Dennys, Flora Lion, and Norah Neilson-Gray. In fact women artists are well-represented. I have an original copy of Lucy Elizabeth Kemp-Welch's FORWARD on a wall at home, but what I didn't know was that the horse used in that poster was Lord Baden-Powell's charger, Black Prince, which he lent to the artist in 1906 and allowed her to keep when he left the army in 1910.

Henry Tonks and his studies of facially damaged servicemen is also here as are sculptors like Charles Sergeant Jagger and Sir Jacob Epstein. Bruce Bairnsfather and his "Old Bill" creation cover the cartoonists' response to the war and there is also a small section devoted to photography, although other photos also appear elsewhere in the book, giving context both to the paintings, and the shattered landscapes that would later be re-created on easels in artists' studios.

As I said, this book is wide-ranging, the reader being drawn not only into the lives of the talented generation which documented the conflict in charcoal, oils and pastels, but also to the poetry; images of the great war conjured up by the usual suspects like Graves, Owen, Rosenberg and Sassoon but also lesser known poets: VAD nurse Winfred Letts and Iris Tree who studied art at the Slade but who is remembered in this volume though an untitled poem written in 1917.

Such was the creative outpouring during the war and in response to it afterwards that the author and publisher set themselves an almost impossible task when having to make those hard decisions on who to include and who to exclude. Thus there is no place for William Kermode and his linocuts which illustrated Henry Willamson's The Patriot's Progress in 1930, and no place either for Bernard Partridge, an established cartoonist well before the war, whose caricatures and fine pen-work dominated Punch during the war years, and whose illustrations would later be used in the ubiquitous King's Discharge Certificates which were despatched to hundreds of thousands of wounded and disabled ex-servicemen.

Such exclusions are a shame but understandable. This is already a weighty, large-format volume; somewhere between quarto and octavo in size, and running to over three hundred pages. If I have a criticism it is that some of the illustrations could be a little larger and personally, I would have sacrificed some of the poetry - or maybe all of the poetry - in order to include more of the paintings, more of the cartoons, more of the posters.

It almost seems churlish to suggest this. Make no mistake, Images of the Great War is an ambitious, thoughtful and beautifully produced work which will have enduring power and interest and gives another voice not only to the artists who created the works that are so beautifully illustrated and knowledgeably explained throughout, but also to the men and women who stimulated this artistic response. Both Lawrence Dunn and Austin Macauley are to be congratulated.

Images of the Great War is available in hardcover (£59.99) and softcover (£49.99) from Amazon and elsewhere. Click on the Amazon link to see sample images.

Lavenham, Suffolk

2015-10-18T20:33:00.002+01:00

I was in Lavenham yesterday, and took photos of the impressive stone war memorial inside the church of St Peter and St Paul. Not for the first time, I was staggered at just how many names were recorded there were from what is and was a small community.

I was drawn to two men with the surname WELHAM. I have this name in my own family tree, and my maternal grandmother was a WHELLAMS by birth, the name having changed over the course of a hundred years or so. The Roll of Honour website has done a great job on the Lavenham war memorial but has drawn a blank on two of the WELHAM men. I did a little bit of digging this evening and wonder whether I have identified one of them.

The Lavenham memorial notes Corporal R Welham, Suffolk Regiment, and I wonder whether this is in fact 7785 Lance-Corporal Richard Welhams, a regular soldier who appeared with his regiment on the 1911 census and who, judging by his regimental number, must have joined the regiment in late October or early November 1908. Born in Portsmouth, he enlisted in nearby Sudbury and lost his life serving with the 11th Suffolk Regiment on the 22nd March 1918. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Arras memorial.

I note that Alfred Welham, as recorded on the memorial, was also a regular Suffolk Regiment man (number 7265) who also enlisted at Sudbury and was killed in action on the 26th August 1914. Could he and Richard Welham/s be brothers I wonder? More digging required.
