Lest We Forget
Pte. Frederick John Timbury
British Army 12th Btn. C Coy. Kings Liverpool Regiment
from:London
Fred Timbury was my grandfather who never talked much about his experiences during the Great War. I understand that he went over to France in 1915 with the 12th Btn Kings Liverpool Regiment. He originally came from Battersea in London and had four sisters, Lizzie, Emma, Rose and Bett. After a family disagreement, he moved up to Wakefield in Yorkshire to work in the coal mines. In 1915 he joined the army and was sent to Bisley training camp. I have a photograph of him there. He was then sent to France. At a place called Lesboeufs in 1916, Fred had a lucky escape when his prayer book, which he was carrying in his breast pocket, was struck by a bullet. My mother told me that Fred had a wound in his arm, undoubtedly caused by the deflected bullet. I attach photos of the book, along with a picture of the first pages with a comment written by Fred as to where and when it happened. At some point later in the conflict, Fred was captured by the Germans and became a prisoner of war for the remainder of the War. I have several photographs of his sisters taken at Boyd's Photographic Studios in Battersea which were sent to him in the prison camp. The reverse side clearly shows the purple coloured camp stamp.

He left behind a wife and two year old daughter.

Pte. Charles William Timmins
Royal Marines 2nd Royal Marine Btn.
from:Derby
I know nothing of the service life of my Grandad, Bill Timmin I have only recently found out that he was a Royal Marine. I do know that later in the war he was shot and wounded but eventually made a full recovery.
He subsequently became a Steward at various clubs in the Derby area, met his wife Ethel, and had two daughters Patricia (my mother) and Margaret. In the late 1940's he owned and ran the New Inn pub at Pen St., Boston, Lincs before selling and retiring in the early 1960s. Growing up, we lived next door to him and I spent hours in his company. What fantastic great memories. We would go fishing, walking and generally enjoy a very happy time together.

Sgt. Joseph John Timmins
British Army 7th Btn. Leinster Regiment
from:Spamount St., Belfast
Joseph Timmins, my grandfather, left his wife and three sons to enlist in Fermoy (why Fermoy? He lived in Belfast) on a short service engagement on 20th November 1914. He was immediately posted to the 7th Battalion, Leinster Regiment. He transferred to the Army Cyclists Corps and was posted to the 16th Battalion on 16th January 1915. He then transferred to the Royal Inniskilling Fuseliers and was posted to the 7th Battalion. Posted to no. 54 POW company of the Labour Corps on 15th April 1917 as a corporal. He was promoted to sergeant on 15th July 1918.
Joseph was discharged due to ill health. He died of rheumatic fever on 29th August 1919 at a military hospital in Hilden, Lisburn. He caught the fever in the trenches. Joseph had different service numbers at different times - 4820, then 29533, and finally 569393. It was recalled that at his funeral, his coffin was draped with the Union Jack on a gun carriage and the last post was played at his graveside. He is buried in Milltown cemetery. His reasons for joining up are a mystery.
