    My great grandfather James Burke served in WW1 with the Royal Garrison Artillery (Liscard, Cheshire). He fought under the 14th Siege Battery. He received the DCM for his gallantry during heavy gas concentrations in the Nieppe Forest during May & June 1918 and for keeping his men motivated to keep going under very trying conditions. He died in February 1959.

    Pte. Frank George Alexander Signals Sub Section Royal Engineers (d.21st Nov 1918)

    Private Alexander – RGA and Royal Engineers domiciled at 14 Castle Street East, Banbury has died in the Number 9 General Hospital (Lakeside USA) Rouen, France. He was working as a butcher before the war, again probably at his Uncles shop in Warwick Road. No records exist save for a couple of postcards and the existence of a photograph of his memorial at Rouen, Northern France taken by a relative before the stone grave markers were erected.

    249631 Private Frank George Alexander served with the Royal Garrison Artillery and the Royal Engineers during WW1 and died on the 21st November 1918, aged 26, in hospital at Rouen. He is buried in St Sever Cemetery Extension, Rouen, France. He was the son of Mrs. Ada Makepeace, of 15, Castle St. East, Banbury, Oxon.

    He was serving with the Royal Engineers Signals Sub Section possibly attached to the headquarters of 41st Brigade RFA part of 2nd Division Troops. Alternatively if initial reference to RGA is correct then it was likely to have been 41st Siege Battery RGA as the Brigade and Battery names were interchanged during the course of WW1.

In 1911 Thomas was working as a farm servant for Mr John Wearing at Low Newton, Grange over Sands. In 1913 Thomas married Sarah Alice Palmer and later that year their son Joseph was born. Sarah sadly died in February 1916 aged 27 leaving Thomas a widower with his young son Joseph. As detailed below Thomas was posted to France in August 1916; Joseph stayed with Thomas's family in Ireleth.

    William Black was my grandfather. He was born in Ramelton in Donegal Ireland in 1880. He was a sailor in the Mercantile Marine. He was mobilised into the Lancashire Brigade, Royal Garrison Artillery on 25th of May 1915. He received a hand written duplicate letter requiring to report to the Sefton Barracks in Upper Warwick Street together with a detailed list of personal supplies and clothing to which he would receive a gratuity of £5 on reporting for duty.

    He served until 12th January 1919. He was awarded the Pip, Squeak and Wilfred War Medals, but also awarded the DCM and Military Medal. There is a Certificate for the Gallant Act he carried out to receive the Military Medal whilst serving with the Second Army. He also received a Mercantile Marine Medal from the Board of Trade.

    In WW2 he was a Quarter Master on the Reina Del Pacifico, owned by the PSNC, which was converted into troopship. He was 59 when WW2 started. He was in many theatres of the War which included the Second Battle of Tobruk and the Invasion of Sicily. He was awarded the Africa Star with Clasp, Atlantic Star, Italy Star, Pacific Star and Burma Star.

    Gnr. Thomas Terry 250th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery

    Xmas 1918 Concert

    I found this Concert Party programme in an old box. I know very little about my Grandfather, Thomas Terry, but remember him with affection. My image from childhood is of him sitting with the Racing Post studying form and tickling me from time to time. He died some time in the sixties. I was twelve or thirteen at the time and considered too young to attend a funeral. His younger son, my uncle Steve, moved to the USA, taking all the family photos with him and they have since been lost, so I was delighted to open your site and find a picture of him on your page devoted to the 250th Siege Battery. I think he is the chap on the right along with his friend Wilf, because I do remember a picture of him that looked rather similar to this hanging in my grandparents' house in Surrey, where he ended his days, equidistant between 3 racecourses.

    I find it remarkable that this concert was organised in France, presumably under fire, at Christmas 1918 and that so much care was taken to make it presentable, complete with Art Deco layout. Even more remarkable that he ever did a song and dance routine to entertain the troops! I hope that it may be of interest to people researching other members of the Concert party.

    Lt. Gerald Caleb L. Chamberlain 194th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery

    Gerald Chamberlain was my wife's grandfather. He served as a Bombardier in the RGA from 1914 in France. He was promoted to Sergeant in France, and was sent back to England for Officer cadet training. Commissioned to officer rank, he was sent back to France from Cooden Camp, Bexhill, Sussex.

    He lived until he was 98 (I think) and wrote his memoirs in 1980. There's quite a bit in his memoirs about wartime experiences in WW1 and WW2, and about his civilian life and family. Really interesting! He had several near misses during WW1 engaged in artillery and signalling work. I am gradually scanning and digitising his memoirs. I do think they are worthy of publication. We also have several photos of Gerald Chamberlain in uniform and in France.

    Sgt. Alfred William Harver 129th (Bristol) Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery

    263339_Alfred William Harver_before WW1, dressed in a Somerset Light Infantry uniform

    Alfred was born in 1877. His father was a miner who died in a pit accident in 1882. I have a picture of Alfred from before WW1 dressed in what I believe is a Somerset Light Infantry uniform, but I have been unable to trace him in that regiment.

    He enlisted in the 129th Bristol Heavy Battery in May 1915 and traveled to France (Le Havre) in March 1916. His unit was attached to the 84th Heavy Brigade, RGA. I believe he was at Vimy Ridge, but I have no trace of him until 1919 when he sent some postcards from Cologne whilst he was part of the Army of Occupation. I do have other postcards from him, but there is no way to identify exactly where he was other than the postcards were French.

    He was a sergeant when he was demobbed in 1919, and he went back to work as a timberman in the Dean Lane pit in Bristol. Sadly, he died of pneumonia in June 1919 at the age of 43.

    Gnr. John Coulson 82nd Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery (d.4th Jun 1917)

    John Coulson was my great-great-grandfather. My father, Gordon Coulson, started the family history research around 15 years ago and kept getting dead-ends. Some 20 years ago, my father travelled to the Dranoutre War Cemetery to view John's remembrance grave, which he recalls as a sad but happy event. I have recently recommenced the process to learn all about John's service. I have paid for and received his service records from the British National Archives, and I am seeking to purchase his service medals to pass down to my children.

    Retreat and Rearguard 1914: The BEF's Actions from Mons to the Marne

    Jerry Murland


    The British action at Mons on 23 August 1914 was the catalyst for what became a full blown retreat over 200 blood drenched miles. This book examines eighteen of the desperate rearguard actions that occurred during the twelve days of this near rout. While those at Le Cateau and Nery are well chronicled, others such as cavalry actions at Morsain and Taillefontaine, the Connaught Rangers at Le Grand Fayt and 13 Brigades fight at Crepy-en-Valois are virtually unknown even to expert historians. We learn how in the chaos and confusion that inevitably reigned units of Gunners and other supporting arms found themselves in the front line.
