Jonny,

Try Canadian Veterans Affairs Website for your man Samuel Cuddy. He's a Dungannon man originally so there's your Ulster tie in.

All the best,

Nigel

Brilliant. Thank you, great to find that - links in with his brothers (next of kin) in the States PA

Ahh great - one more piece of the puzzle sorted.

[ShirlD]

I wonder if there is anything on the Survivors of the Queen Mary at the Battle of Jutland? In particular Midshipman Humphrey M Durrant. I have downloaded a picture of the Dalmeny and Queensferry Cemetary where he is buried.

Many thanks

Hello,

can you see if there is a 27757 Pte G Bacon, 7th Bn, North Staffords, mentioned in a casualty list at the end of February 1917 please? He was wounded in Mesopotamia.

Thanks,

Chris

[navvy]

Hello,

I am researching the military service of Edward Thomas Brown RADFORD. He was a Lieutenant in the 19th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment during the First World War. He was presented with the Military Cross by King George V in 1919 but I have been unable to find the date of the investiture. Please could you see if there is an entry for him?

Thanks,

John.

[Stebie9173]

Somehow I've missed three posts on this topic!

John,

I've had a look for Radford but can't find him in 1919. Sorry.

Chris,

27757 Pte G Bacon is listed as wounded in the Times of 2nd March 1917 - possibly therefore wounded in early February.

Steve.

[Stebie9173]

Shirley,

The Queen Mary obviously gets many mentions. Mostly news of the battle and a couple concentrating on the Queen Mary herself.

There is a list of officer casualties (not mentioning Durrant) and a VERY sobering list of the 1200 men lost on ship.

Officers list 5-6-1916

One article mentions the Germans picking up a grand total of one ensign and one sailor survivor from the sea.

And there is a bio on Durrant, Times 13-6-1916

Steve.

[navvy]

Thanks for looking. Much appreciated.

John

Hi Paul

I'd be most grateful if you could find any obituary for Walter Hutchinson M.M. who would have died late 70s early 80s. I have just posted his diary up on the site so hopefully your reply can be aded to the diary's postscript. Whatever the case, my thanks for your generous offer to assist us all.

Kind regards

Shaun Springer

[Coldstreamer]

Cant see him but The Times seems to mainly cover officers

[bobpike]

Is there any other information, please, about Nowell OXLAND. 1890-1915 Poem published in the Times in 1915, written en-route for Gallipoli, called 'Outward Bound'

Regards,

Bob

[Stebie9173]

He appears in the Casualty List in the Times of 30-8-1915, as Killed with the 6th Border Regt.

Apart from that I can't find anything... Not even the poem...

Nowell OXLAND. 1890-1915 Poem published in the Times in 1915, written en-route for Gallipoli. Killed Suvla Bay Aug 9 1915 as a Lieutenant with 6th Border Regiment. Buried Green Hill Cemetery, Gallipoli

Casualty List in the Times of 30-8-1915

Here's the poem -

Outward Bound

There's a waterfall I'm leaving

Running down the rocks in foam,

There's a pool for which I'm grieving

Near the water-ouzel's home,

And it's there that I'd be lying

With the heather close at hand,

And the Curlew’s faintly crying

Mid the wastes of Cumberland.

While the midnight watch is winging

Thoughts of other days arise.

I can hear the river singing

Like the Saints in Paradise;

I can see the water winking

Like the merry eyes of Pan,

And the slow half-pounders sinking

By the bridges’ granite span.

Ah! To win them back and clamber

Braced anew with winds I love,

From the rivers’ stainless amber

To the morning mist above,

See through clouds-rifts rent asunder

Like a painted scroll unfurled,

Ridge and hollow rolling under

To the fringes of the world.

Now the weary guard are sleeping,

Now the great propellers churn,

Now the harbour lights are creeping

Into emptiness astern,

While the sentry wakes and watches

Plunging triangles of light

Where the water leaps and catches

At our escort in the night.

Great their happiness who seeing

Still with unbenighted eyes

Kin of theirs who gave them being,

Sun and earth that made them wise,

Die and feel their embers quicken

Year by year in summer time,

When the cotton grasses thicken

On the hills they used to climb.

Shall we also be as they be,

Mingled with our mother clay,

Or return no more it may be?

Who has knowledge, who shall say?

Yet we hope that from the bosom

Of our shaggy father Pan,

When the earth breaks into blossom

Richer from the dust of man,

Though the high Gods smith and slay us,

Though we come not whence we go,

As the host of Menelaus

Came there many years ago;

Yet the self-same wind shall bear us

From the same departing place

Out across the Gulf of Saros

And the peaks of Samothrace;

We shall pass in summer weather,

We shall come at eventide,

When the fells stand up together

And all quiet things abide;

Mixed with cloud and wind and river,

Sun-distilled in dew and rain,

One with Cumberland for ever

We shall go not forth again.

[dpgdpg]

Id be very gratefull if you would be so kind to see if the following man is included please.

[AJP1963]

I now have online access to the full text of The Times - better even than the CDROM which many libraries have, particularly in its searching.

I can also get quite a lot of stuff (mainly journal articles) accessible through the ATHENS scheme.

Iwonder if you would be so kind as to see if privat william denby 10th battalion duke of wellingtons regiment is mentioned?

[Stebie9173]

The Times will only mention non-officers in rare circumstances - medal awards (no more information than the London Gazette) and for deaths (whole war) or woundings (to mid 1917 only.)

I have had a look, though.

19412 spr S.A.CHUCK R.E.

No hits.

Tullidge. Bernard H - Captain, 6th Bn, (attd 13th Bn), Worcestershire Rgt.

Only mention is of his commission in the Times of 8-5-1915 reflecting the London Gazette of 7-5-1915.

Woodger. Walter T S - A/CSM, 44208, 62nd Field Company, Royal Engineers (M.M.)

The Times 27-10-1916

Wounded.

Royal Engineers.

Woodger, 44208, Sgt. W T S.

No hit for MM (though it should of course be there - that's how hit and miss the Times search is)
