    2nd Lt. Frank Edward Young VC 1st Btn. Hertfordshire Regiment (d.18th Sep1918)

    Frank Young was killed in action on 18th September 1918 aged 23 years during the action for which he gained his award. He is buried in the Hermies Hill British Cemetery in France. He was the son of Frank and Sarah Ellen Young, of 46, Wood Avenue, Folkestone, Kent

    An extract from The London Gazette No. 31067, dated 13th Dec., 1918, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery, determination and exceptional devotion to duty on 18th September, 1918, south-east of Havrincourt, when during an enemy counter-attack and throughout an extremely intense enemy barrage he visited all posts, warned the garrisons and encouraged the men. In the early stages of the attack he rescued two of his men who had been captured, and bombed and silenced an enemy machine gun. Although surrounded by the enemy, 2nd Lt. Young fought his way back to the main barricade and drove out a party of the enemy who were assembling there. By his further exertions the battalion was able to maintain a line of great tactical value, the loss of which would have meant serious delay to future operations. Throughout four hours of intense hand-to-hand fighting 2nd Lt. Young displayed the utmost valour and devotion to duty, and set an example to which the company gallantly responded. He was last seen fighting hand to hand against a considerable number of the enemy."

    Pte Robert James Bates 3/1st Battalion Hertfordshire Regiment (d.5th December 1916)

    Born in 1894, Robert Bates lived with his parents, Fredrick and Emily at 55 St John's Road, Hemel Hempstead, and was employed as a mill hand at the Saw Mill (in Kingsland Road, Boxmoor) where his father also worked as a sawyer.

    At the age of 21 he enlisted for service at Hertford on the 7th of June 1915 with the Hertfordshire Regiment. After a period of training he was posted to Northern France on the 13th March 1916 within a draft of 100 men.

    Unfortunately, Robert’s front line service was to be short lived. Whilst serving in the trenches at Givenchy, he contracted pleural effusion (fluid next to the lung) and was returned to England for rest and treatment. Eventually, as his health deteriorated further, he was discharged from the Army on the 26th of September 1916 suffering from tuberculous peritonitis. By the end of the year he had died.

    He is commemorated with honour on the Hemel Hempstead War Memorial. In 2019 as a result of an "in from the cold" application he was officially recognised by the CWGC as a war time casualty.

    Lt. Reginald William Frith Hertfordshire Regiment (d.7th Feb 1918)

    Reginald Frith was on the front line for 3 days before being shot in the leg on either the 12th of 13th of November 1916. He was constantly being moved from hospital to hospital, having traumatic experiences as he went along. He eventually died on the 7th Feb 1918 of exhaustion. However, he had mental issues, caused by shell shock.

    L/Cpl. Henry Croft Davis 1st Btn, A Company, 2nd Platoon Herefordshire Regiment

    We have a few letters that my grandfather, Harry Davis wrote to his then fiance. It is difficult to put into a timeline as some are not dated. He spoke about his friends from home that were fighting alongside him. He was shot, had frostbite and almost drowned, but was always positive and had a great sense of humour that came through in the letters. Wish I had got to know him better.

    Pte. Ernest Page C Coy. 1/1st Btn. Hertfordshire Regiment

    Ernest Page was a Territorial Force member. He had joined in 1912 in Ware and volunteered for Imperial Service at the very start of the war. He arrived in France in early November 1914 and took part in the Mons Canal, Cuinchy and Loos combats.

    When his time as TF came to a close in 1916 the New Conscription Law had been past and he was given the choice of being demobbed, going home and being recalled or staying on and choosing in which unit he would serve. Having taken part in the battles that cost huge numbers of losses, spent 2 winters in wet, cold trenches he decided to join the Artillery. However, the casualty numbers were so large that experienced men were needed with the newer recruits. And 6 months later he was transferred to an infantry unit with the Northumberland Fusiliers, at first in the 26th Battalion, then in the 23rd Battalion of 34th Division (4th Tyneside Scottish)

    He took part in most major battles until 11th of April 1918 when his group was taken prisoner near Armentieres. During the night of the 10th the Germans had managed to cross the River Lys and cause a wedge between 22nd and 23rd Brigades. Ernest's unit was over-run it only had one remaining officer who advised they surrendered to the enemy, in this case a German Cavalry Unit, You have fought well, lads, and we can now only surrender.

    He spent the remainder of the conflict in the Gardelegen Camp. Saxony. He was awarded the 1914 star, British War Medal and Victory Medal

    Pte. George Albert Mason 1st Btn. Herefordshire Regiment (d.6th November 1917)

    I only know that my grandfather's body lies in Beersheba War Cemetery. It would never have been visited by any family, as my father was his only child and he did not know any details of George's army life, only that he died in WW1. It appears that George Mason went to war when his wife was pregnant with my father, but I am unable to ascertain whether he even knew she was pregnant when he left. I cannot find out when he left Hereford. He was killed in the Battle of Beersheba.

    Pte. Ernest Samuel Thompson 1st Btn. Hertfordshire Regiment

    My Grandfather Ernest Thompson was an early volunteer and went to France in January 1915; He served with the 1st Battalion, Hertfordshire Regiment. He was wounded - shot through the right hand and elbow - in May 1915 and subsequently sent home. He was honourably discharged in January 1916.

    Although he didn't talk about his experiences I do have a postcard he sent to my Grandmother when he was in France asking her to knit some more socks as they were standing in constant mud. I remember him telling me about the Christmas football match, which he probably heard about on his arrival in France. In later life, he worked around his injuries, which also included being gassed, and he always said that he would be all right if he could get a new set of lungs! Not many years later, hearts and lungs were being transplanted.

    My Grandfather painted a postcard-size picture of the Hertfordshire Regiment insignia with his left-hand (as his right hand was injured), possibly during his recuperation? He played cricket for Baldock Town at some stage but more especially for Kryn and Lahy where he was primarily a bowler. I used to sit with my Grandfather listening to cricket and cleaning his medals - wonderful days and memories. He invariably had bronchitis as a result of his damaged lungs and subsequently succumbed to this damage; He never received a war pension which would not be allowed today.
