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

battalion. These two O.L.'s enlisted soon
after the outbreak of war, went out to
the fighting line in February of last
year, and were wounded in the second
battle of Ypres. They are still serving
in the field.
Sergeant Irving is one of a large
number of schoolmasters who donned khaki,
and the first from Lancaster to receive a
commission for services in the field.
When he enlisted he was on the staff of
Greaves Council school and the Municipal
Technical School. A keen athlete, he was
one of the three scholastic members of
the John O'Gaunt Rowing Club the two
others being H. Chapman and W. Pinch -who
did much to restore the prestige of
the Lune as the home of rowing, and was
an efficient member of the Vale Of Lune

Lieut. Irving, K.O.R.L.R., has, also
given up his life in the defence of his
country. Irving joined the 5th King's
Own" Pals" Company, of which he
speedily became an efficient and popular
member. He was given a commission for
services on the field, and was the first
Lancaster teacher to be so honoured. He
left Lancaster with the battalion for
training at Didcot on September 8th,
1914, and went to the front in the
February following. In April, 1915, he
was wounded at the second battle of
Ypres. A keen athlete, deceased was one
of the best forwards of the Vale of Lune

county trial matches, and did a great
deal to restore the prestige of
the Lune as a centre of rowing Letters
received from the commanding officer,
Lieut.-Colonel F. W. Anderson, Capt.
Deed, Capt. Harriss, and Lieut. R. W. W.
Holmes, expressed symathy with Mrs.
Irving and her family, and appreciation
of Lieut. Irving as an officer.
Lieut-Colonel Anderson wrote :" You
will by now have heard the sad news of
your son's
death, who was killed in action
leading his platoon on a working parade.
He was a good and capable officer, and
his death is a sad thing for all of us.
He was buried at Carnoy, on the old
British lines. Several of his brother
officers were able to be there. As his
commanding officer, I very much regret
losing such a leader, so well beloved by
his men. You have my sincerest sympathy
as well as the sympathy of his brother
officers."-Capt. Deed wrote most
appreciatively of Lieut. Irving, stating
that he had known him from the time he
was a boy at the School, and he had
admired his character ever since.

MEMORIAL UNVEILED AT GREAVES
SCHOOL
An impressive ceremonial was held at
the Greaves Council School on Wednesday
afternoon when a tablet was unveiled in
memory of the late Lieut Richard Irving,
5th king's Own, who was an assistant
master in the School before the War, and
whose mother resides in Prospect Street
Lancaster.
The memorial consists of a copper
tablet bearing the lion crest of the KO
and the following inscription:- "The
King's Own. In loving memory of Second
Lieutenant Richard Irving, 5th
K.O.R.L.R., aged 29 years, killed 2nd
August 1916 in France.
"Not once,
nor twice in our rough island history
story, The path of Duty was the way to
glory".
Erected by his
colleagues and the scholars of this
department."
Above the tablet was an enlarged
photo. It is framed in black Irish oak,
the frame being the work of Mr Radesdale
manual training instructor.
Lieut Irving was thoroughly
painstaking in all his work and a really
loyal colleague, having the faculty of
getting into close personal contact with
the children. Had he survived the war,
promotion would have come quickly. In
everything he taught the children to play
the game. The question on the bottom of
the memorial was most appropriate
(applause).
Ald J E Oglethorpe referred to Lieut
Irving as a faithful servant of the
Lancaster Education Authority and a loyal
teacher, who made his name amongst the
scholars and his colleagues and gave
every promise of a successful future. He
remembered Lieut Irving and others
interviewing him in August 1914 on the
eve of joining the pals, when he
commended their patriotism and promised
their interests would be looked after.
Some had been killed, some wounded,
several had been commissioned, many
promoted and in every case had done their
duty (Applause)
Coun. H Gooch, formerly Headmaster of
the National School, said Lieut Irving
served his country well. He hoped the
memorial would be a reminder to the
children of the Greaves School that one
of their teachers fell nobly in the Great
War. The nobility of the teachers who
fell had fallen in the War was beyond
dispute. Others had endured great
hardship without complaint. His own son
had told him that Lieut Irving was one of
the best officers in the Battalion. and
they all regretted very much that he was
killed. The Mayor read a letter from a
Colonel of the King's Own Battalion
paying tribute " to the wonderful
spirit and endurance of the sturdy,
imperturbable Lancashire men" and
" thought the sentiments
particularly applied to the late Lieut
Irving. These men were suffering
hardships cheerfully for their sakes, and
those at home must do all they could to
bring the war to a successful conclusion
(Applause)
On the motion of Coun. Wright,
seconded by Coun. Nutall, thanks were
accorded to the Mayor and Ald
Olglethorpe, and the proceedings ended
with the National Anthem

Lance Corporal James Leeming -
missing
Another Lancaster family which it is
feared has sustained a double loss is
that of Mr. Hesketh Leemjng of 12 V~ncent
–street whose eldest son, Lance
Corpl. James Leeming,Royal Fusiliers, is
officially reported missing from
September 4th, the message having been
confirmed by lettter from his Commanding
Officer on the 12th inst; though no
details are given. His younger
brother, Lance Corpl. Christopher
Leeming, (21) Seaforth Highlanders~ was
officially reported missing from Sept.
25th 1915,after the battle of Loos, and
his parents have now received an
intimation that he must be presumed to be
killed. Both were old boys of St.
Thomas's School, and prior to the war
worked at Lune Mills.
Christopher enlisted soon after the
outbreak of the war, and was drafted to
France about Whitsuntide last year. Lance
Corpl. James Leeming enlisted in January
1915, and went to France the following
May. He is 24- years of age and married,
his wife and two children residing at 2,

Mr. & Mrs. Leeming of 12 Vincent
St. Lancaster have not heard from their
son Christopher who was fighting with the
Seaforth Highlanders since the Battle of
Loos, have now been notified that their
married son Lance Corpl. J. Leeming of
the Royal Fusiliers has not been heard of
since Sept 4th. The letter conveying the
news was addressed to his wife who lives
with her father, Mr. Houghton of 2,
Langley Rd. and contajns facts of which
any parent might well be proud, proving
that I,/Cpl I,eeming had risked his life
for a comrade.
Captain W. C. Anderson of No4.
Company in a Service Battalion of The
Royal Fusiliers wrote:
- "1 am extremely sorry to
have to inform you your husband
I,ance Cpl. Leeming has been
missing since the 4th ins. It was
noticed that in front of the
front line trench a wounded man
was lying and your husband
immediately volunteered to go and
bring him in. This was in
daylight and in full sight of the
Germans. He returned to the
trench to take food and water to
the wounded man and this last
seen of him. Patrols and search
parties were sent out during the
night. Your husband did most
gallant work and it was a
pleasure to have such a good
non-commissioned officer in my
Company. You must not give up
hope. Many missing men have
turned up later and he may be a
prisoner of war. I will
immediately inform
Lance Crpl. I,eeming is 24 and worked
at Lune Mills before the war. He has been
in France 6 months and there is one
child. His brother Lance Cpl. C. Leeming
has been missing from the Seaforth
Highlanders after the Battle of Loos a
year ago. Both attended St.Thomas School.
Mrs J. Leeming has a brother Pte. John
Houghton serving in the Liverpool Irish
Reserves at Oswestry and an uncle and

Battalion, King's Own (part of 83
Brigade, 28th
Division) in France in August 1915.
During the summer, 2/King's Own was at
Sanctuary Wood, in the southern extremity
of the Ypres salient, where it was
re-fitting after the 2nd
Battle of Ypres. James' first major
action, in September/October, was in a
joint French/British attack, when the
British advanced into the Lens
coal-field, an area of villages,
pit-heads and slag heaps. Bombardment
began on 21 Sept, but was called off
because of severe weather. On the 27th
the weather cleared, and 28th
Division marched towards Loos on roads
deep in mud. On 29/30 Sept, 2/King's Own
manned the Quarry Trench, and was in
action until relieved on 6 Oct.. On 15
Oct, 2/King's Own returned to the line
south of the La Bassee canal, where the
area was a maze of trenches, craters and
sidings. By then, the Battle of Loos was
coming to a close, but isolated incidents
still occurred, in one of which, Private
Harry Christian of 2/King's Own won the
Regiment's first Victoria Cross of the
war.
In mid-October 1915, Bulgaria
attacked Serbia, and Britain and France
declared war on Bulgaria. French and
British troops soon arrived in Macedonia
to aid the Serbs, but the stronger Bulgar
forces drove the Allies back to the Greek
border, took control of Serbia, and
occupied the dominating peaks around Lake
Doiran; but they did not attempt to enter
Greece.
Meanwhile, 2/King's Own had left
Marseilles on 25 Oct, spent a month at
Alexandria, re-fitting after Loos, and
landed in Salonika, with 28th
Division on 2 December 1915. The Bulgars
were then over-running Serbia, and the
Allies were in retreat. 2/King's Own were
soon high in the mountains, in the 'Bird
Cage', a defensive position being
constructed to prevent an enemy advance
on Salonika; but the atrocious weather
halted the fighting, and, in the main,
operations were ended for the winter.
In May 1916, 2/King's Own, which
had initially been employed on
road-building in intense heat, and was by
now weak from malaria, began a long march
east to the river Struma, and, on 14
July, arrived at the ruined village of
Turico. Its task was to defend four miles
of the Struma valley, and a bridge-head
over the river at Kopriva, which was
manned in turn by one of the companies.
The heat, flies and mosquitoes were
unbearable, and in August over 250, all
ranks, were evacuated with malaria.
At about 1 pm on 21 August 1916,
James Nichol was one of four men killed
in repulsing an enemy advance by about
200 men, supported by artillery. James,
aged 20, was buried in Struma Military
Cemetery, Greece and is commemorated on
Lancaster city war memorial. Born in
Lancaster, the younger son of Mr &
Mrs James I. Nichol, of 114 Prospect
Street, James attended St Thomas' School,
had been in the St Anne's Company, Church
Lads Brigade, and worked at Queen's Mill.
Company Sergeant Major A. Purdie,
in a letter to James' parents said
"your son was very well known to me,
having been in my company since he joined
the battalion. I am more than sorry to
loose him as he was such a jolly and good
young fellow. We have had a very trying
time, what with the weather and sickness.
Your son had not been at all well lately,
but he stuck to his work and was a good
soldier; cheery, hard-working and
reliable… a shell burst right over
where your son was, death was
instantaneous."
James's brother, 15606 Sergeant
David Nichol, who was serving with
the 6th
Royal Irish Fusiliers, was killed in
action on 5 September 1916, and is also
named on the Lancaster city war memorial
(See entry above).

eldest son of William and Martha

joined up as a regular soldier before the

brought home and sent to the trenches in
France. He died on 17 February 1915 aged
21, probably, according to the CWGC, in
day to day trench warfare or a small
scale engagement rather than in a major
offensive. His body was not presumably
not recovered and he is remembered on the

From a relative:
"My Grandfather was Pte
Frederick Ernest Neild, 16662 1st Bn The
Royal Lancaster Regiment. He was born in
Gloucester but cam to Lancaster
(1870-1890's) with his family, to take
over the White Lion Pub (corner of Bulk
Road). He lived at 27 Alexandra Rd
Skerton with Agnes his wife and 5
children. He volunteered in the Autumn of
1914 ( even though at that time he did
not have to because he was then 37'ish).
He died in the trenches on the 27th
December 1917. He wasn't shot; my
Grandmother said he died of food
poisoning. Presumably 31/2 years in the
trenches had taken its toll. Apparently
once on leave he had been approached by a
girl and handed a "white
feather" - where upon he opened his
overcoat to reveal his uniform!"

From a
relative:
"My Great Uncle was born on
the Isle of Man on the 2nd August 1897.
He was the eldest of 5 boys. At the
beginning of the first world war the
family all moved to Lancaster living at
17 Charles Street. Before enlisting in
the King's Own he worked at Rembrandt on
Queens Street. He enlisted in April 1915.
He was wounded twice in 1915 and 1916 and
had been in hospital with "Trench
Foot". He was admitted to the 13th
General Hospital Boulogne on September
5th suffering from gun shot wounds in
then right hand and the left knee and was
also gassed. His parents received a
telegram that he was dangerously ill and
then followed by an announcement of his
death. He had died of wounds on 5
September 1918. His Father was a
reservist with the Cheshire Regiment and
he served with them in the South African
War. After serving in Egypt from 1915 and
Salonica he was invalided home with fever
ad became an instructor of musketry in a
training camp in Seaton Carew Co Durham.
He also served in the Boer War. One of
his brother Private Henry Patterson
enlisted with the Mancheste's and had
been wounded and spent time in a French
Hospital but he survived,
His brother Richard (My Grandad)
wasn't born until 1 June 1908 and was too
young to enlist in the First World War
but at the outbreak of the second world
war he joined the King's Own and came out
in August 1945."

Information
given by Arthur William Lamb October
2002.
Arthur Francis Rheinheimer was born in
China Lane, Lancaster on the 4th of
November 1892. His parents, Peter and
Mary Rheinheimer, had come to England
from Germany around 1886/7 and fIrst
settled in Kendal, before moving to
Lancaster, sometime before 1890. The
family remained in Lancaster at addresses
in China Lane, Penny Street and Gladstone
Terrace [Bulk Road].
Arthur was a tailor and also a
well-known local musician. He worked at
Marsdens tailors in Moor Lane, Lancaster
and there met a young tailoress by the
name of Nellie Lamb. They struck up a
relationship and by the time Arthur
joined the army, around 1915/16, Nellie
was pregnant with his child. A son was
born on the 24th February 1916.
Arthur became a Signaller [Private
22021] in the 8th Battalion of The King's
Own Royal Lancaster Regiment. His
brother, Albert, also joined up, being in
the machine Gun Corps. of The King's Own.
Ironically, at about the same time their
parents, Peter and Mary, were, according
to Home Office records, due for
repatriation because of their German
nationality. In the event Peter died in
September of 1916 and for whatever reason
Mary was allowed to stay in England.
- Arthur was killed in action near
Arras, France on the 28th March
1918 at the age of 26. He has no
known grave but is commemorated
on the Arras Memorial in the
Faubourg-d' Amiens Cemetery,
Arras.
- In addition to his brother,
Albert, Arthur had six sisters,
one of whom [Rosa] died at the
age of 12 in 1898, whilst the
last surviving sister [Amy] born
in 1895 lived to be over 100.
Whether or not Arthur ever saw
his son is doubtful. He was named
Alfred Dobson Lamb and brought up
by his mother, Nellie, and her
parents, in Lancaster. Alfred
married Florence Smith of Askam
in Furness in 1946.
I am their only child, born on 14th
November 1947 and named Arthur in memory
of my grandfather, Arthur Francis
Rheinheimer.

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.
The pictures on the below are:
Top Left Thomas Hannon The
King's Own Royal Regiment. On the top
right is a notification from the records
office at Preston of the death of Wilfrid
"Killed in Action". Bottom
right is an extract form Wilfrid's Will
"In the event of my death I give my
silver watch to Miss L Calkeld. Bottom
right is a very sympathetic letter from
Fulwood Barracks Preston explaining that
the bodies of soldiers in cemeteries
"of less than 40 graves" were
to be exhumed and reburied; Wilfrid in
Warlencourt.

were Nellie & Fanny, sadly I can't
remember the others. My father said that
Jack was killed at the first battle at
Ypres in 1914 and Dick at the second
battle at Ypres in 1915. They are also
both remembered with honour at the Ypres
Menin Gate Memorial.
My father Frank & Tommy were too
young for the army in 1914 but during the
Second World War Tommy joined up and my
father was a fireman in the AFS & NFS
working in various places including both
London & Manchester. Thankfully they
both came through the conflict safely.
Tommy died a few years before my Father
in the 1980s.
Richard being the eldest was named
after my Granddad and I was named after
him of which I'm very proud."

Mrs Irene
Marchment, now 85 years old, very kindly
supplied the following information about
her Father John Edward Wilson:
My Fathers name is on the
Lancaster Memorial. I go there every
Remembrance Sunday and put some flowers
on the Cenotaph. He was John Edward
Wilson, a Gunner, 164999 of the Royal
Garrison Artillery. He died on the 9th of
May 1918 and is buried in Plot 2 Row B
Grave 25 in The Penes British Cemetery
France. I have been to see his grave; it
was all very emotional, but I'm glad I
went. Some the pictures we took are shown
here. I was one year old on 13th
May 1918, and my Mother received a ten
shilling note for my birthday from my
Father; alas he was already dead. My Dad
worked as a labourer at Williamson's,
then later at the Theatre in Dalton
Square, the Hippodrome, which later
became the County Cinema and is now
Palatine House. I've still got his
commemorative Bronze medal and a picture
is also shown here. I hope this is of
some use to you.
