We also have a section on World War Two. and a Timecapsule to preserve stories from other conflicts for future generations. 219622 Lt.Col. Raymond John Marker DSO, MID. Coldstream Guards (d.13th Nov 1914) The 13th November 1914 saw the death of Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Marker DSO, who was the son in law of Sir Thomas and Lady Jackson of Stansted House and the brother in law of Claude Stewart Jackson. Lord Kitchener has lost another of his trusted comrades by the death on November 13th 1914 from wounds received in action. Raymond Marker had been previously decorated with the Legion of Honour by the President of the French Republic, with the approval of the King for gallantry during the operations of the British Forces in the battles between August 21st and 30th 1914. The first news to arrive back home was that he had been seriously wounded. His left leg had been amputated, and his right arm broken. News filtered back from the front that he was going on as well as can be expected in a French Base Hospital at Boulogne, but he later succumbed to his wounds. For his services in the Great War he was mentioned in Sir John French’s dispatches of the 8th October, 1914, and the 14th January 1915. His wounds were received when he was hit by a shell outside the reporting centre of the 1st Army Corps at Ypres on 4th November 1914. He married the daughter of Sir Thomas and Lady Jackson in 1906 and left a son Richard Raymond born on 18th June, 1908. His details are as follows – Colonel Raymond John Marker, General Staff, Died of Wounds 13th November 1914 aged 47. He is buried at Gittasham Churchyard, Devon. S Flynn Add to this record.
