L/Sgt Anthony Herbert
RMLI Portsmouth Bn RN Division
from:Lower Tooting, London
(d.3rd May 1915)
My Great Grand Uncle, Anthony Herbert was a Pte. in the Royal Marine Light Infantry, Portsmouth Battalion, promoted to L/Sgt 13th November 1914. He died at Gallipoli on 3rd May 1915 and is remembered on the Helles Memorial, Panel 2-7. I believe he first enlisted in August 1902 He was awarded the 1914 Star & Clasp, BWM & VM. The clasp was awarded on 14th July 1921. His medals were sent to his father William Herbert on 4th July 1919. I am not sure of the accuracy of this information but I believe that forces at Anzac Cove were relieved by RN Division on 28th April 1915. At dawn on 3rd May Portsmouth Battalion were ordered to march in support of an attack that had clearly failed. I believe it is possible that my GGU would have been forced up "Dead Man's Ridge" in full view of enemy machine guns. Unfortunately he, and many others, lost their lives. He was 30 years old. If anyone has any information about Anthony or his Battalion I would be very interested to hear from you.

Pte Harry Herbert
British Army 6th Btn King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
(d.2nd Dec 1915)
Supply Sgt John "Jack Rabbit" Herbert
British Army 17th Btn. London Regiment
from:West Ham, London
John Herbert, born 1892 was my Grandfather. We know very little about him during his young years. I knew him and loved him dearly as my Grandpop, but his life before he and my Grandmother emigrated to Australia in 1929 was not to be discussed. He grew up in the East End of London, the youngest of seven children, his mother died when he was six, his father remarried and Grandpop was raised by his oldest sister.
The little I do know about his WW1 life has been pieced together from a few old photos, many sporting medals, his Service Medal Card and Medals (Pip, Squeak & Wilfred), and an autograph book he carried with him through France and WW1 with many of the Autographs ending in 'Somewhere in France' and a date. His Service Record was destroyed during WW2, so I have followed the 17th London Regiment from two books. One called The Poplars by Ron Wilcox, and was surprised to see my Grandpop in the photo on the front cover, and the second - 47th (London) Division 1914 – 1919 by Allan H Maude.
John Herbert enlisted in 1913, well before WW1, was promoted to Supply Sergeant in 1916, he was disembodied in 1919. His rank of Supply Sergeant might explain his surviving the entire war as he was fortunate enough not to have been on the front line nor in the trenches, but spent most of the war behind the lines. He passed away in Brisbane Australia, in 1976.
Pte. John Charles Herbert
British Army 7th Battalion Leicester Regiment
(d.14th July 1916)
John Herbert was my paternal grandmother's brother. He was killed at the Battle of the Somme on the 14th July 1916 and has no known grave but his name is on the war memorial in Lutterworth and also on the wonderful memorial at Thiepval which I have visited. Unfortunately, I do not have a photograph of him but would dearly like to know what he looked like.
Sgt. Joseph Samuel Herbert
British Army 21st Battalion Manchester Regiment
from:Manchester
Sgt Joseph Herbert joined the Manchester 21st Battalion 'E' Coy around August 1915 just after he turned 18. We know he trained at Heaton Park because he told us he did. We also know that he did not serve abroad due to his fitness but this is a bit of a mystery to us. We have some records such as information from when he left and we know he was based at Riby when he left on 1919 and he worked there as a clerk. On his wedding certificate in 1917 he is down as a clerk in the 70th training reserve.
I would like to find out more about what he did and why he was promoted to Sgt but haven't been able to get hold of any records of his service.

Lt. Andrew Hunter Herbertson
British Army 7th Btn. King's Royal Rifle Corps
(d.15th May 1917)
In 1992 I worked for Cumbria County Council as a care worker. An elderly lady, Dr Margaret Herbertson, told me of her sadness losing her brother Andrew Herbertson. He died serving with the 7th Battalion King's Royal Rifle Corps and is buried in Arras British Cemetery. She was one of the first female students to qualify in medicine from Oxford and was later to become a GP at the birth of the National Health Service. Andrew's father was the first Professor of Geography at Oxford - Andrew John Herbertson. Andrew was his only son.
