Pte. John Joseph Tasker
British Army 2nd Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment
from:Spalding
(d.31st July 1917)
It starts with the family tree and becomes a mystery to be uncovered. John Tasker was the brother of my great nan. He was born in Spalding of parents George Tasker and Rebecca Hare White. He had 4 sisters and one brother. His mother died quite young and the family was split up. Lots of military records have been destroyed from the Blitz so they are a bit thin on the ground. I know that he is on the Roll of Honour at the Ayscoughfee War Memorial. He is also on the daily casualty lists. His father collected his personal effects including his medals. I believe that he died at Passchendale, although I can't confirm this. He has no known grave and his name is not on any commonwealth war memorial as yet. I hope this will be rectified soon. 102 years late but never too late to be remembered.

He enlisted in Downpatrick and trained at Clandeboye Camp before going to Seaford in Sussex and then to the Front in October 1915. James married Grace Brown on 26th of August 1915 in Belmont Presbyterian Church while he was stationed in Seaford, Sussex. Grace was from 92 East Bread Street, Belfast, daughter of James Brown, a labourer. They had a son named Joseph, who was born on 3rd of March 1916. James was home for a short period of leave in May 1916 and he saw his son. Less than two months later, Sergeant Tate was killed in action on the first day of the Battle of the Somme.

2nd Lt. Lionel Percy Tate

from:111 Spencer Street, Heaton, Newcastle-on-Tyne
(d.4th Nov 1918)
Lionel Tate was known by his middle name, Percy. He was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne, on 17th April 1892, the eldest child of Robert William Tate and his wife Emma (nee Stainsby). He attended Chillingham Road school and Skerry’s college in Newcastle and was working as an accounts clerk when he enlisted in the 1st/1st Northumberland Hussars (Territorial Army) on 17th February 1913. His was the first territorial regiment to be sent overseas, they arrived at Zeebrugge on 5th October 1914.
Percy spent almost the whole war in France, with only a handful of days on leave in England each year. He survived many terrible battles in France, including Ypres and the Somme and rose to the rank of corporal before returning to England to cadet school in December 1917.
He was appointed to a commission in the North Staffordshire Regiment in May 1918 and returned to serve with them in France. He was killed in action on 4th November 1918 and is buried in the churchyard of Wargnies Le Grand. After surviving so much, serving throughout the war, it is so sad that he died within only a few days of the armistice. This was also a tragedy for his fiancée, Cissy Dryden, who always kept a photo of Percy and never married. Later, she worked in a sweet shop.
Percy’s brother Lance Corporal Norman Tate, 2nd Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers, was killed in action on 6th October 1918, commemorated at Vis-En-Artois memorial, Pas de Calais, France.

Bombardier Charlie Alley Tattam was my stepfather's uncle. 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.
Bmdr. Charles Alley Tattam
British Army 29th Siege Bty. Royal Garrison Artillery
(d.18th Nov 1918)
Charles Tattam was the second son of Frederick Tattam and Mary Ann Rebecca Alley. Charlie was born in St Albans, Hertfordshire and grew up on Sopwell Farm, where his father was a shepherd. Sadly Charlie's father died in 1901, aged 35, when Charlie was only ten years old. His mother re-married and two of his brothers emigrated to Canada. His 3 brothers and one sister all died in the 1970's. Charlie's sister, Lucy Alley Tattam, was my stepfather's mother. In the late 1970's some of my stepfather's cousins came over from Canada to visit, but I don't know if they knew about Charlie, or not and sadly my stepfather died in 2001, so I can't ask him.
Pte George Tatum

from:Buckley, Cheshire
Pte. George William Tavener
British Army 6th Btn. Somerset Light Infantry
from:Martock, Somerset
(d.22nd Aug 1916)
My Godfather is now 81 years of age and never knew his mother’s brother. He is my late mother’s cousin, so when my wife and I travelled through France with our daughter earlier this year, we said we would try and find out some information about George Tavener for him.
I did some research and found out that George had his name inscribed on the Thiepval Memorial. No family members had ever done any research about George, where he was fighting or where he had died. On the way to the Thiepval Memorial, we stopped by the roadside and picked a few wild poppies that were growing, as we hadn’t anything else to lay at the memorial when we got there. We searched all of the graves, hoping to find George, but he simply wasn’t one of the named graves. There was only one Somerset Light Infantry grave, which had no name, so we laid the poppies there. My Godfather was so grateful for what we had done and our daughter, who is 12, now has a better understanding of the sacrifice that was made.
