hi Steve

Looks like you're one of the most popular people in the forum right now. Can I please add to your workload?

The following were all pupils of Brigg Grammar school, Lincolnshire.

Lieutenant William Stuart Bean, 30 Sqn RFC (formerly R.E.) died 21/01/1918

Lieutenant Kenneth Foster Bean (his younger brother) 7th Bn Royal Scots, died 12/04/1918

Captain Frederick John Huskinson, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, died 01/07/1916 (Teacher)

Second Lt Percy Alexander Margetts, 9th Bn attd 6th Bn Lincolnshire Regt died Gallipoli 05/12/1915 (He was a teacher at Brigg, pupil at Batley Grammar school)

Second Lt William Nainby, Lincolnshire Regt (attd 62nd LTM Bty) died 27/05/1918

Second Lt Francis Ingle Sowter, The Buffs (East Kent Rgt) died 09/08/1917

Captain George Henry Joseph Sowter (his older brother) 5th Bn Lincolnshire Regt, died 13/10/1915

Second Lt Reginald Herbert Westoby, 3rd Bn Lincolnshire Regt, died 04/10/1917

I have quite a lot of family background for these, but only a little military info, and have yet to trace an elusive portrait photo.

Many thanks

Dave

Many thanks for coming back to this. I appreciate how much time and effort this work must take. Can I ask what info you have about Margetts? I am in touch with his descendents, who have given a detailed biography up until he enlisted. I have found info about his commission, but the family only have one poor quality picture from a microfiche of a local paper. If you have a picture, you would make their day!

Hi Dave,

the picture I've found is reasonable quality but at this point it's only a copy of a copy. I'll go into the original volume and, hopefully, we will have a much better portrait. I think it shows him with glasses. It mentions his BSc and some other qualification I've never heard of.

Regards,

Steve

Is Margetts' other degree 'ALCP'? I haven't been able to discover what it means, although he was a science teacher. post-7552-1136820915.jpg This is the picture I have, taken soon after he was commissioned.

Dave,

it's definitely a different picture, more front on, and he's wearing glasses.

I have a fairly complete set of the Roll of Honour pages published in the Illustrated London News 1914-1918.

If you would like me to search for a photo of an Officer killed during the Great War then please reply to this post. I need rank, name, regiment and date of death details. There's always a possibility he may have been recorded in this publication.

N.B. it may take me a few days to reply so please be patient.

Regards,

Steve Bickmore

I am researching two brothers Alfred Edward Bass (Queens Westminster rifles) who was killed in action at Glencorse Wood, East of Ypres on 16th August 1917. Age 29.

Also I am interested in his brother: Victor Abram Bass (20th Royal Fusiliers) was killed in action at High Wood, Somme, on the 20th July 1916, Aged 27.

Any information gratefully received!!

Hi Steve,

I would appreciate a look for Captain (Acting Major) Hugh Ethelred McCarthy Ince, Commanding 53rd Battery, 2nd Brigade, RFA, KIA November 3, 1916, buried Guards Cemetery, Les Boeufs, Somme, France. His photo appeared in the 'Sphere' of January 20, 1917 and Lt. William Campbell Ince, 8th Brigade Machine Gun Co. CEF, KIA Battle of Mount Sorrel, June 2, 1916, buried Artillery Wood Cemetery, Boesinghe, Belgium. (He was MIA until 1925 when his remains were recovered).

Many thanks,

Bill
