On 4 August 1914, the 5th (Territorial Force) Battalion, The King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment was mobilised and, the next day, was sent to guard the docks at Barrow-in-Furness; but it was soon recalled, and sent to guard the railway between Reading, Didcot and Swindon. By the end of the
month many of the pre-war Territorials were found to be unfit for war service, and a call went out at Lancaster for 230 fit men to volunteer overnight as replacements. On 2 September, Harry Angus was one of those who volunteered, and was accepted for enlistment in what was to become known as the 'Lancaster Pals Company'.
After initial training at Lancaster, the 'Pals' draft joined the 1/5th (TF) Battalion in mid-September,
and their arrival at Didcot brought the Battalion strength up to 1200, thus enabling the removal of all men medically unfit for overseas service. As none of the 'Pals' had any previous military service, they were all retained under canvas at Didcot for further training.
On 11/12 November, 1/5th (TF) Battalion moved to Sevenoaks, Kent, where the men were billeted locally and serious training began. After Christmas, orders came to prepare for foreign service, and on Sunday 14.2.1915 the Battalion entrained for Southampton, and sailed for Le Havre, France in SS 'Manchester Importer' and SS 'Oxonian'. The Battalion strength on landing was: 31 officers; 1026NCOs and men; 72 horses and mules; 6 general service wagons; 13 limbered wagons; 2 Maltese carts; and 2 water carts. On reaching Winnizeele, near Hazebrouck, the Battalion was attached to 14 Brigade, 5th Division for initiation in elementary trench warfare. In early March, while receiving instruction in the trenches at Wolverghem and Neuve Eglise, it suffered its first casualties, and soon took over a sector of the line. On 7.4.'15, at an inspection of 14 Brigade, General Smith-Dorien, Commanding 2nd Army, spoke highly of the work done by 1/5th (TF) Battn. The King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment and 3rd (TF) Battn. The Monmouthshire Regiment, both of which, two days later, marched to Ypres to join 83 Brigade, 28th Division.
From 12.4.'15, 1/5th Battn was in trenches at the apex of the Ypres salient at Zonnebeke / Polygon Wood and, over five days, suffered many casualties. On 22.4.'15, it 'dug in' near St Jean, and next day, took part in an attack on Pilkem, its casualties (all ranks) being: 26 killed/died of wounds, and 103 wounded/gassed. At Potijze Wood, it was relieved on 26.4.'15, and late on 2.5,'15, took over trenches at Frezenberg.
On 3.5.'15, 1/5th Battn was heavily shelled for five hours, when A and D Companies held the switch line. C Company - sent to support the Rifle Brigade - lost heavily from shellfire. Later, B Company - attached to East Yorks and York & Lancasters - got close to the trenches, laid down, and waited for darkness. After dark, 1/5th Battn was ordered to dugouts, as the trenches were to be evacuated - many casualties. That day, Harry Angus, of D Company, was killed in action in the Second Battle of Ypres.
The fourth son of the late Mr John Angus (former manager of Heron Chemical Works) and Mrs Agnes Angus of 67 Borrowdale Road, Lancaster, Harry had attended Christ Church School, and was a cabinet-maker with the renowned local firm of Messrs Waring & Gillow. Aged 26, Harry was killed in action on the same day as his two great friends, with whom he enlisted, Privates: T5/2134 Frederick Lowe and T5/2190 James Fairclough, also of D Company. Without a known grave, Harry Angus is commemorated on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, Part X11 (UK); on the Lancaster city war memorial; and on his parents' grave in Lancaster Cemetery. W H ABBOTT

Mr James Adams, a relative tells of his own Father ". . telling them as children that someone had told GrandMa that it would cost 10 Guineas to have them shown as brothers on the Cenotaph - can you imagine what she felt like her being a widow in those days. I'll bet she never knew whatt 10 Guineas looked like!" James himself served as a sailor in the Second World War and went over on D Day. The Guardian article reproduced here shows a picture of him with that of the ship he was serving in. He says: "That was only on the trip over; the things we did after that are too numerous to mentio.

We are grateful
to Mr Ronald Morge Clarke for the loan of

Clearly a very proud Army Family.
Clarke Horace Edwin
The deepest sympathy has been
expressed for Col. Sgt Thomas Clarke and
Mrs Clarke13. Ulster Road Bowerham, in
the severe loss they have sustained by
the death in action of their devoted son,
Pte Horace Edwin Clarke, of the Border
Regiment. The sad news came through a
comrade, Pte R )\Southward, who joined
with him, and had a furlough at the same
time last Christmas.In a letter dated
13th July Pte Southward stated 'I am very
sorry indeed to have to write to you of
the death of your son Horace who was
killed on July 9th by a shell along with
four others. He could not possibly have
suffered at all, as he died
instantaneously. 1 am sure no one will
miss him more than 1 will, as we have
stuck so well together since our
enlistment. We stuck together up to the
last. Even then 1 did not leave him until
we had buried him in a pretty little
cemetery just behind the lines at
Fricourt. 1 hope the knowledge of this
win ease somewhat the sorrow you will
feel in the loss of your son which 1
myself share through the loss of a
comrade. He was a brave soldier and
always did his duty well. He is sadly
missed by all at Brigade
Headquarters ' All here join in
deepest sympathy' -both Clarke and
Southward were cycle orderlies.
Pte Clarke was nearly 24 years of age,
and belonged to a soldier family. His
father, Colour Sgt Thomas Clarke ofthe
Kings Own Regiment. Thomas Clarke had
spent over 24 years in the service of the
Kings Own Regiment, going through the
South African War, which affected his
constitution. Since this war began he has
been on the recruiting staff at the Old
Town Hall. Mrs Clarke is a daughter of
the late Regimental Sgt Major Joseph
Augustus Morge, Kings Own Depot. Mrs
Clarke has had a brother killed, and two
brothers are serving, Col Q.M. Sergt
Arthur Morge R.E. and Lieut and
Quartmaster Wm Morge of the Kings Own (
Bantam) Battalion. Pte Horace Clarke was
an old Bowerham scholar and worked at
Williamsons before the War. He was a keen
footballer, playing for Park Villa and
also for the Town Reserve, with a view to
promotion. He joined in Feb 1915, and had
been at the Front since July 1915, going
through the Battle of Loos without a
scratch.

EAST MUDROS MILITARY
CEMETERY, Ref:III. B. 56., Lemnos, Greece
Because of its position, the island of
Lemnos played an important part in the
campaigns against Turkey during the First
World War. It was occupied by a force of
marines on 23 February 1915 in
preparation for the military attack on
Gallipoli, and Mudros became a
considerable Allied camp. The 1st and 3rd
Canadian Stationary Hospitals, the 3rd
Australian General Hospital and other
medical units were stationed on both
sides of Mudros bay and a considerable
Egyptian Labour Corps detachment was
employed. After the evacuation of
Gallipoli, a garrison remained on the
island and the 1st Royal Naval Brigade
was on Lemnos, Imbros and Tenedos for the
first few months of 1916. On 30 October
1918, the Armistice between the Entente
Powers and Turkey was signed at Mudros.
East Mudros Military Cemetery was begun
in April 1915 and used until September
1919. It contains 885 Commonwealth
burials of the First World War, 86 of
them unidentified, and one Second World
War burial. There are also seven non war
naval graves and 32 burials of other
nationalities in the cemetery, 29 of them
Russians who died in the evacuation of
Novorossisk in 1921, who are remembered
on a memorial plaque set into the

SERGEANT 2746 H B DOBSON MM
1/5th Battalion King's Own Royal
Lancaster Regiment (T F)
Herbert Dobson was born in Lancaster
on 24 August 1895, the son of Robert and
Sarah Ann Dobson of 75 Windermere Road.
He attended Christ Church School and, as
Lancaster's FIRST King's Scout, carried
the North Borneo Flag on the left of His
Majesty at the Great Scout Rally at
Windsor in 1911.
Enlisting in the 1/5th Royal
Lancaster's on 3rd September 1914, he
went to France on 1 May 1915. As a LCpl
he joined a much weakened 1/5th
Battalion, part of the 83rd Brigade in
the 28th Division, soon after the second
battle of Ypres. After a move to Kemmel
and a brief prescence at the Battle of
Loos, the 1/5th were transferred to the
2nd Brigade of the 1st Division, and from
November were in the line near
Mazingarbe.
Early in 1916 Herbert, by then a
Corporal, received the coveted
"Green Card of Merit" bearing
the following:
'I have read with great pleasure
the report of your conduct on 30 December
1915 in leading a patrol up to the
enemy's line and obtaining very useful
information. Your name and the
circumstances of the case have been duly
recorded'
signed
A Holland
Major General
Commanding 1st Division
3 January 1916
For this Deed, Herbert was awarded the
Military Medal for bravery in the field.
On 7 January 196, the 1/5th moved out
to join 166th Brigade, 55th Division
– The old West Lancashire Division
(TF) reformed- and spent the next six
months in the Ballacourt sector. In
May/June Herbert, by then a full
Sergeant, attended a Divisional School in
England, but soon returned to France. On
11 July 1/5th began a very rough week in
the line at Agny in the Riviere sector,
and on 18 July began the long march to
the Somme. On 1 August they occupied
reserve trenches at Talus Boise and that
night shellfire caused casualties in the
trenches and to the Battalion working
party near Trones Wood.
While preparations were made for the
attack on Guillemont, the objective of
the 55th Division, on 6 August the Talus
trenches were shelled heavily and at 8 pm
the Battalin moved back to the ammunition
box bivouacs near the Citadel. On the 7th
two dfays rations wre issued and at 8 pm
A Company left to relieve the
Briqueterie. Tha noight all the other
companies were on stand by, with orders
to "Remove boots only". Six
officers and 50 men were to stay behind
as battalions were to go into the attack
no stonger than 20 officers and 750 other
ranks. Each man drew two bombs, two
sandbags and a pick and shovel.
8 August was spent on stand by, whilst
te initial attack on Guillement was
pressed by the 164th and 165th Brigades,
but by 10pm it was clear that the attack
had failed. Sat 11.30 pm the battalion,
less details, marched off to the trenches
via Marincourt with the objective of the
166th Brigade, with the help of the
165th, to attempt to extricate the
remnants of the 164th Brigade who were
surrounded at Guillemont. The night was
dark and the roads narrow and terribly
rutted and long lines of motor transport
had to be passed. The noise of the wagons
drowned the screaming of the shells and
prevented the dive for cover when the
shells came close.
By 3.50 am on the 9th August, all of
the Battalion had reached the Assembly
Area and almost the first shell to burst
was a phosphorous shell which set alight
the Very light dump. The whole of the
Battalion were exposed and the enemy
began shelling immediately with 5.9 guns,
causing casualties. After a slight
hesitation the whole Battalion moved
forward and the Colonel had an
opportunity to read operation Orders and
to issue his own. Zero hour was 4.20 am
and the Battalion advanced to relieve
1/10th Liverpools, but the trenches were
so full of troops that B and C Companies
of the 1/5th had to find cover in shell
holes. At 10.30 am they were able to move
into the trenches and at 4.20pm orders
came for the Battalion to relieve 1/10th
Liverpools, this being carried out under
a heavy barrage of fire in which both
battalions suffered casualties.
On 9 August 1916 Battalion casualties
(all ranks ) were:10 killed 48 wounded
and 1 missing. Second Lieutenant
Higginson, writing on 10th August to
Robert and Sarah Dobson said that their
son Sergeant H Dobson
"Fell in an attack yesterday
morning. . . he was my platoon sergeant,
a splendid one too and to me it is a
personal loss . . .as a soldier I had
grown to like him very much, and I
appreciate, as others do, the splendid
work he has done. It will be some
consolation for you to know that his
death was instantaneous and occurred
whilst leading his men. Captain Briggs
and I laid him to rest at 7.30 pm on 9
August. Company Sergt Barrow and Sergt
Towers and B Company were also present.
Captain Briggs read a few verses over his
grave . ."
Herbert Dobson lies in grave 11 F8 in
the Quarry Cemetery Montauban, 11
kilometres east of Albert. He was 20
years old when he died and is
commemorated on the Lancaster War
Memorial

A relative supplied the following
information:
Benjamin was Private no 19759 of the
6th Battalion Kings' Own Royal Lancaster
Regiment. He was born in September 1897,
the second son of James and Ellen ( nee
Murray) Davitt. Apparently he was a well
grown lad and joined up when under age.
They were trained in the south of England
and then sent to join the 38th Infantry
Brigade in Gallipoli. Later the 6th
Battalion went on to Mesopotamia. At some
point ( I don't know where) Ben was
injured and it was apparently some time
before he was found by his comrades. He
was sent to hospital at Lemnos and then
returned home by ship. He was nursed at
Bowerham Barracks ( by a relative of
Major Lloyd Evans and there was a photo
taken which I have never been able to
track down!) ) and seemed to recover for
a while but then died on 1 September 1917
at 6 Edward Place, Lancaster.
He was buried in Lancaster Cemetery on
5 September 1917. It would have been his
20th birthday. I attach a photo.

William Gardner was born in Lancaster,
one of the three sons of Mrs Jane Gardner
of River Street, St. George's Quay,
Lancaster. He attended St Mary's School
on the Quay, and after leaving school
worked at Lune Mills. He joined the 1st
(Volunteer) Battalion, The King's Own
Royal Lancaster Regiment about 1899 and,
in 1900/1901, served in the South African
war with No 1 Volunteer Service Company,
attached 2nd Battalion, King's
Own. In recognition of this he received
the Queen's South Africa Medal with five
clasps, and his further
Volunteer/Territorial Force service, up
to about 1908, brought him the award of
the Territorial Force Efficiency Medal.
In October 1914, William was among
those who enlisted at Lancaster for the 8th
(Service) Battalion, The King's Own.
After a brief spell in camp at Codford,
near Warminster, Wiltshire, 8th
(S) King's Own moved to Boscombe,
Hampshire, where it was made up to full
strength, the men being billeted on the
local people. Serious training then began
as part of 76 Brigade, 25th
Division, and, after further moves to
Romsey and Aldershot, the Battalion
sailed to Boulogne, France on 27 Sept
1915, and had its baptism of fire at
Ploegstreet, near Armentiers.
The Battalion then moved to St Eloi,
and earned its first battle-honour at
'The Bluff' on 2/3/4 March 1916, when it
held the 'post of honour' at the centre
of the attack, and the men went 'over the
top' for the first time. They swept
across the old German front line to the
base of the 'Bean' salient, and re-gained
British possession of the 'International
Trench'. In this action William was
wounded in the right shoulder, after
which he was invalided to 3rd
Battalion, King's Own at Plymouth. For
his bravery in the field, he received the
Military Medal in the King's Birthday
Honours list - (London Gazette, June
1916). 8th (S) King's Own
casualties for 2/3/4 Mar 1916 were: three
officers and 120 other ranks killed or
missing; nine officers and 210 other
ranks wounded.
Following his recovery, William
volunteered to join 6th (S)
Battn, King's Own, then fighting the
Turks in Mesopotamia. On 8 March 1917, he
died of wounds, most probably from the
ill-fated attempt to cross the Dialah
River on the night of 7/8 March. One
officer and fourteen other ranks were
killed, and one officer and twenty-four
other ranks were wounded. The only man
not wounded or dead was Private Jack
White, a signaller who, with great
presence of mind, fastened one end of his
cable to the pontoon, took to the water
and swam to the 'home bank' and succeeded
in saving the lives of 2nd Lt.
Paterson and several of the other wounded
men. For his gallantry in action, Jack
White was awarded the Victoria Cross.
In 1914, William Gardner was a
married, family man living at 1 Albert
Square, off Bridge Lane, Lancaster. He
died aged 41, leaving a wife, Mary Ann,
and seven children. His eldest son,
Private James Gardner, was serving with 6th
Battn, King's Own in Mesopotamia when his
father died.
William's elder brother, T5/0454
Sergeant John Gardner, was killed in
action in France & Flanders while
serving with 1/5th (T.F.)
King's Own on 27 Apr 1915.
William Gardner is commemorated on the
Basra war memorial in Iraq, and John and
William Gardner are commemorated together
on the Lancaster city war memorial.

John is the Uncle
ofMrs Crane of Scot forth Lancaster, her
mothers eldest of two brothers and four
daughters. She did not know him but her
mother talked a lot about him. She kindly
passed on this story:
" Before he went into the army he
worked as a shop assistant in Manserghs a
big shop in Lancaster. My Mum told me
that her parents paid to have the
brothers taught the piano, which wasn't
all that normal in those days for
families without a lot of money. The boys
then taught their sisters! They would be
in trouble nowadays! John was an
excellent pianist and went into a big
competition in Lancaster which he won; he
played the "Rustle of Spring".
He used to go to the Centenary church - I
think its a pub now (The Friary?).
He was always known as a gentle man
and he used to paint water colours. That
didn't stop him volunteering for the Army
and he joined the Seaforth Highlanders in
1915; I think this was a special regiment
raised perhaps in Liverpool. He was
reported missing shortly after what I
believe was his 19th Birthday; a friend
of his told my Grandma that they were
together in a bayonet charge when he lost
sight of him. He went back afterwards but
couldn't fmd him.
We still have, in the family with my
niece a framed picture of him and we have
a kilt he wore in the regiment. Its nice
to have these remembrances of him".

We are very
grateful to the niece of Wilfid Taylor
for providing these very evocative
photographs, the documents shown and the
interesting story of an army family which
follows:
The larger photograph (top left) is
one taken of the horse inspection on a
Sunday by the Commanding Officer and his
Staff at Lowther Park Penrith at the
summer camp in 1914. The Cumberland and
Westmorland Yeomanry (7th Border
Regiment) then went straightway south to
France, eventually losing their horses as
well as their men! Wilfrid is 5th in line
from the left, resplendent in his cavalry
uniform.
At the outbreak of the war the Taylor
family were living at 67 Ashfield Avenue.
My Grandad, Robert Taylor had left Waring
and Gillows in 1912 unwilling to accept
reductions in standards. (He was the
"Quality" man of those days and
all the woodwork and furniture in the
Lancaster Town Hall was "passed
" by him.). He lived in a flat in
Penny Street and then joined the Army in
153 Coy Royal Defense Corps spending the
war years guarding prisoners of war in
Skipton. Afterwards he became an
Instructor at the rehabilitation centre
Squires Gate Blackpool.
Uncle Wilfrid was a very good pianist;
he also worked at Waring and Gillows as a
carpenter/joiner and intended to marry
Lily Calked, the lady mentioned in the
wil (extract below). He was my Mother's
only Brother. My Father was Thomas Hannon
and he enlisted on 9 September 1914 in
The King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment.
At some time he was hospitalised in
England, and then was transferred to the
6th Lincolnshire Regiment. He was taken
prisoner on 27 May 1918 and discharged
March 1919.
Wilfrid Taylor's Grandfather William
French had been a Militia man serving for
21 years including time in Australiaa and
New Zealand. He attested at Rochester
Kent on 8 January 1850 aged just over 20.
He was severely wounded in the attack on
the revbel Camp at Eureka Ballerat
Australia on 3 December 1854. He was
discharged at Preston as 2865 Sergeant
from the 12th Regiment of Foot (The
Suffolk Regiment).
My Dad's brother William (Billy)
Hannon was born in 1896 at 23 Elgin
Street Lancaster and joined the royal
Fusiliers at the outbreak of the war. He
was killed in action 29 March 1915 -he
was only 18 years old and Dad's only
Brother.
Please read this
in conjunction with the biography of
Wilfrid Taylor, William's brother inlaw,
who was killed in action World War One.

Auntie Lena, who is 88 years old this
year and is my Grandad's (John) only
living child. As she was only
two/three weeks old when he was killed
she does not know a lot about him, but
she does remember being told that he was
awarded a Certificate from the Humane
Society for saving a child from drowning
in the river Lune outside Williamson's
where he worked.There seems to be some
confusion about his age when he was
killed but as he was born in 1886 he
would only be 31 years old when he died
and not 33. My auntie said there was a
Robert who died of yellow fever in the
West Indies as she remembers her
grandmother getting a black edged card
reporting his death and he was recorded
as being a native of Lancaster.I have no
record of a Robert in my family tree but
he could have been a cousin of John's as
his father had four sons. There is a
grave stone with Richard and John's names
on in the Far Moor cemetery - on the same
headstone as their mother to commemorate
their deaths.My Auntie still has his
little bag with his scissors in from his
time in the army.

There is some confusion here.
The memorial lists THREE brothers J, R

forms for John and Richard. There is only
one Robert (William) from Jarrow on the
Soldiers died data base, and this is most
unlikely to be the J on our memorial.
Joseph also is only connected to
Lancaster by the Regiment, and even then
was formerly a Lancs Fusilier. There are
only two obituaries from the Guardian. In
the letter from Richard to his mother
(above) he mentions "our Joe" -
is he the one? Maybe there was a mistake
