Company Quarter Master Charles Tancred . British Army 2nd/6th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers from Rhodes, Lancashire (d.7th Nov 1918) I have only just found out that my great uncle Charlie, served in WW1.
He joined in 1908, left the army in 1913, and re-joined in 1916 into the Lancashire Fusiliers.
I have got the dates of what his Battalion did from the time they landed in Le Harve on the 26th Febuary 1917. I have never seen so much movement of a Battalion, fighting, resting , moving, fighting, one that sticks out the most is Passchendaele. He was there in all that horrible battle called the "The third Battle of Ypres", fighting all those times and surviving as well.
To be told he went into hospital at Rhouen in Oct 1918 with bad flu, to eventually die of pneumonia on the 7th Nov 1918, 4 days later we all know what happened there.
I feel honoured and privileged to know that these people did and had to go through, may their memory never be forgotten |

He is buried at Saint Andre Communal Cemetry, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France. He died on 18th November 1918, but I don't know how he died. Presumably it was from injuries received during the war which had ended only a few days earlier.

Private Ellis Taylor . Army 2nd Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regt from Ladywood, Birmingham (d.22nd Mar 1915) He joined the militia in 1901 as a boy soldier and transfered to the teritorial and volunteer force in 1908. His regular job was as a waggoner working for the LMS railway at New Street Station in Birmingham.
At the beginning of the war he was transferred to the 2nd battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment which had recently returned from Malta.
They were sent to Belgium as part of the 7th division to assist in the defence of Antwerp, landing at the port of Zeebrugge on 6th October 1914.
They arrived too late for their intended task as Antwerp had already fallen and they were transferred in to the Ypres area where they helped to stop the advance of the Imperial German Army in the action known as the first battle of Ypres.
Ellis was wounded in the leg and was brought back to Englang around the 1st of November to the Countess of Suffolk hospital in Malmesbury where he stayed until after Christmas.
He died of pneumonia on the 22nd of March, 1915 whether this was caused by his wound is unclear.
He is buried in Witton cemetery and his name is included on the war memorial there, on screen wall 30 05213. |

Gnr. Hodgson Harold Telfer . British Army Royal Field Artillery from Bellingham, Northumberland I am reseaching Hodgson Harold Telfer's life for an elderly relative who was named after him, Hodgson was his uncle and he knows little about him. We have his war medals; a wallet with hand embroidering; his bible; a newspaper clipping of him retiring after 42 years as a butcher and a couple of his uniform embellishments.
After a few hours of research over the last couple of days, I have the following: Born 1884, Bellingham, Northumberland. Seems he was known as Harold rather than Hodgson. He was a Butcher by trade from at least the age of 16 and had his shop in 'Market Place' Hexham for at least 42 years and had a Mr A Riley working with him for 34 of those. His father was James TELFER a butcher of Bellingham and Hexham and mother probably Eliza or Johannah nee Hodgson, it appears 2 sisters had a double wedding and one of them married James, the other married a Roger Smith. Both these women died within a year of each other - I suspect Hodgsons mother is possibly Johannah, as Hodgsons youngest sister Johanna was born 1889 at the time of death of both these women, so possibly named after her mother who may have died in childbirth or shortly thereafter. He married Margaret GOWANS date unknown. His siblings were William Stanley b1882 and Johanna b1889. He died 1967 in the Northumberland West registration district.
Can anyone add any further details? |
Pte. J. Telfer . British Army 8th Btn. North Staffordshire Regiment (d.10th Jun 1917) |

Captain Harry John Temple . British Army from Essex My Uncle, Harry John Temple, was a Captain in the British Army. I don't know much about him, except I think that he was in Africa & that he suffered a very serious case of malaria. We had a photograph which has since gone the way of so many precious family photographs. The photo was of Captain Temple mounted on his horse with his Company. I have been told that my Uncle would never ride when his men had to walk. He would walk with his Company and perhaps put the horse to carrying someone more needful of the ride. |
Lt Harry Rowland Thelwell . British Army 3rd Btn. West Yorkshire Regt from Commercial St, Leeds.
