ceebee Posted 15 August , 2006 Share Posted 15 August , 2006 A quick search in the Scottish National War Memorial's website, entering date of death 16/05/1915, brings up 100 plus men of the Scots Guards - from 11482 Joseph Adams, born Greenock, to 10304 Ralph Woods born Liverpool. This facility allows a good summary of deaths, but drilling down doesn't show all the details Owen is providing. I've noticed an error on SNWM - Pte Robert Brebber is listed as dying on 10/05/1915. Also, SNWM lists Capt Charles Ivor Bulkeley, whose details from CWGC are: Name: BULKELEY, CHARLES IVOR RIVERS Initials: C I R Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Captain Regiment/Service: Scots Guards Unit Text: 2nd Bn.

Paul Byrne Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 Paul, I will be in the area in September. Where is the site? Regards Crunchy Crunchy, Stand at the crossroads on the Estaires to La Bassee road known as Port Arthur with Estaires at your back. The road to Neuve Chapelle is on your left i.e. 9o'clock, the road continues on to La Bassee at 12 o'clock, the Indian Memorial is to your right at 1 o'clock with the memorial to Lt Val Braithwaite immediately outside it on the road to your right i.e. 3 o'clock (i.e. the one running away from NChapelle). That road, possibly showing directions to Bethune, is the Rue de Bois. Go along it and now it gets tricky (1995 is a long time ago). After half a mle or more (not sure of distances now ) look on your right for a house with a figure of Marechal Foch on horseback. Soon after this, on your left, their is an entrance to a farm. It looks as though its a private road, its not. Drive down it and having left the farm area you come to a really large area of land. Drive right down it to the junction and you have driven through the British rear area on 15/16 May, 1915. The junction you reach is the point on the Grenadier Guards map shown in the posting on this forum where the road meets the Rue de Caillaux. Just an idea if you let me have your home address I'll send you some stuff. Best, Paul Byrne. P.S. The two officers mentioned but not named in the Times article of 29 May, 1915 are Lieutenant Garforth buried at Pont du Hem Cemetery on the Estaires to La Bassee road and Lieutenant F A Marsham Townshend buried at the Guards Cemetery, Windy Corner, Cuinchy.

Owen D Posted 16 August , 2006 Share Posted 16 August , 2006 That's as many Immortals of Festubert as I can find. I think we confirmed at least two F company men. Anyone think we should let the SG RHQ know what I've found out? Please don't ask me to do this for every Guards action. There is further info and another map on Chris' LLTsite. http://www.1914-1918.net/BATTLES/bat11b_fe...t11b_actual.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
