Pte. Walter Aukland
British Army 1st/4th btn Lincolnshire Regiment
from:Grantham
(d.17th Sep 1915)
Today is a memorable day, because I have been able to confirm the whereabouts of my uncle's war grave. My father and cousin visited a war grave in Ypres some years ago believing it to be that of my uncle, however I have since inherited all the details they had pulled together and there were discrepancies.
'My Walter', as I now call him, is buried at Longuenesse cemetery in France. Can you believe there were 2 Walter Auklands who joined the Lincolnshire Regiment at almost the same time, both died in 1915. My Walter died of wounds whilst being transported back home, so he never made it back to his family. He has remained 'undiscovered' until today. I can now make plans to visit his grave and pay my respects.
My father died 7 years ago, believing he had visited his brother's grave. However, he has visited someone's son and they will be indebted to him for that. So, My Walter, I am on my way .
Able Seaman George L. Auld
Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Nelson Btn. Royal Naval Division
(d.3 May 1915)
George Auld served in Nelson Btn. Royal Naval Division Remembered at . WW1
Pte. James Auld MM.
British Army 11th Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Guide Post, Choppington
(d.27th Oct 1918)
James Auld lived with his widowed mother at Rutherford Street, Guide Post before enlisting at Morpeth. He was awarded the Military Medal for gallantry and devotion to duty. His name is on the Giavera Memorial in Italy. The Memorial commemorates more than 150 members of the Commonwealth Forces who died in Italy between November 1917 and November 1918 and whose places of burial are unknown. He was killed in action on 27 October 1918 age 22.
He was probably killed during the battle of Veneto-Vittorio which started on 24th of October 1918 and saw the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire when Italy and her Commonwealth Allies succeeded in defeating the enemy. All hostilities on this front ended on 4th of November 1918 so James was only days away from surviving the War.
The 11th Battalion had served in France since August 1915 until they were deployed to Italy in November 1917, so James could have been awarded his medal when he was in France. Nevertheless, he was awarded the Military Medal and the following was reported in a local newspaper on 9 November 1917: "For gallantry and devotion to duty as company runner during operations. When the other runners of his company had become casualties he proved himself invaluable, and in spite of additional work he displayed remarkable cheerfulness even under the heaviest fire, setting a fine example to his comradesâ€.
As a volunteer at a local museum undertaking a World War I project, I was asked to choose a name off a local war memorial and research it, I chose James Auld partly because of MM, as I didn't know what this meant and partly because Auld is part of my family history and I thought he might be related in some way, though as yet I haven't found a connection. Having also researched two other local soldiers (brothers) who didn't make it home, I've learned a lot of facts about the war, but most importantly have come to realise just what these young lads endured and sacrificed for their country.

Gunner Henry Charles Ault
British Army Royal Garrison Artilery
from:Marylebone, London
My grandfather, Henry charles Ault is one of those soldiers whose records apart from medal card are lost. He was a Gunner with the RGA and I believe he was with the seige batt. Mobilised to No 1 Depot, Fort Burgoyne, Dover at the end of August 1916. His Regt no is 115850, Roll RGA/166B. Thats it thats all I have and up until 2 months ago I didn't even know he was a soldier in the 1914-1918 war, I'm sure he was brave and hopefully may even have helped save a life.
