Researching Brandon and Wolston War Memorials (Warwickshire)

[webbdaw1]

I am part of the Brandon, Bretford and Wolston History Group who are researching the war memorials in our villages in Warwickshire. We would love to hear from anyone that may have more information or photographs of any of the men who are listed on the memorials. We are also trying to find details of all the men who enlisted from the villages. If you have any information, we would love to hear from you.

Thanks

Dawn

Dawn, have you made contact with Terry Reeves? He is a member of this forum. Terry is Coventry man. I don't know if he had a specific interest in Brandon, Bretford and Wolston but you could find no better in terms of knowledge of Coventry during the Great War, and local resources that might help.

You might also track down Chris Holland, who lives in Stretton in Dunsmore. Not sure if Chris uses the forum. He has and is still doing lots of work on Warwickshire in the war.

[ralphjd]

William Frederick Hackett Huby b 1892 son of William and late Pauline Hackett father remarried to Ada in 1895

[stevem49]

If needed, I think I have Chris Holland's email address (somewhere). If not I can get hold of him via Henry's.

There is a book on Casualties for Coventry and area - held at Coventry Library. I used a school copy a couple of years ago. No doubt Terry will know the full title of it.

[webbdaw1]

Thank you for all your replies. I have done quite a bit of research already but it is great to be able to verify this information.

I know Ernest Chambers is on the Brandon War memorial but I will check the Wolston War memorial.

I haven't been in contact with Terry Reeves or Chris Holland but I would appreciate their contact details please.

Thanks

Dawn

[Chris_Baker]

I've just sent you a private message with Chris's email address. You can find Terry on the forum by clicking "Members" and searching for his name.

[Coldstreamer]

I can send the Coldstream war diary extract re Clarke if you PM an email address

[KevinBattle]

Do you have William Joseph Badger; Alfred Henry Clarke and Tom Haddinott?

All appear to have Wolston links on CWGC database but not mentioned in your listing....

Ralph gave you some details on Atkins, and I don't know if you have found his records, but this is an expanded version.

ATKINS John H. No 7438 Royal Warwickshire Regiment. Enlisted 18 October 1900 aged 18, civilian occupation Carpenter (as was his father Thomas who died prior to 1911 Census when Henry John was living at home with widowed mother Elizabeth). Served 12 years with the Colours, being discharged on 17 October 1912.

He then re-enlisted on 9 September 1914 as 16382 1^st Battalion Duke of Cornwell Light Infantry when aged 31 years and 11 months. He was demobilised as Colour Serjeant on 4 March 1919, giving his address as School Street, Woolston. He served in France from 11 January 1915, so was entitled to 1915 Star as well as British War and Victory medals. The Battalion was sent to Italy in 1917. He suffered a mild gunshot wound to his face on 15 April 1918. He married Edith Annie Shaw, a 30 year old widow (husband also a WW1 casualty?) at St Margarets, Wolston on 5 September 1918. The records show he was married in the name of John Henry Atkins, so presumably his birth names may have been different or reversed as Henry John. An address was given for her as Walton by Kimcote, near Lutterworth. Edith had 2 children, Cynthia May, born 17 August 1912 and Marjorie Edith born 7 November 1914, both in Rugby. Although he signed to say he was no suffering from any disability, his file then shows that there was a Pension award of 30 shillings a week from 12 March 1919 to the end of the quarter in which the man died. This was for Ventricular disease of the Heart which was adjudged to be 100% aggravated by military service. This was dated 22 August 1919 and notes “verify children then pass to Widows Branch” so presumably John Henry died between 12 March and 22 August 1919. There the file ends.

Perhaps some local newspaper archives may give better details.

EDIT: This would seem to be Ediths first husband.

SHAW, JOHN CHARLES. Rank: Private. Service No: 18100. Date of Death: 01/08/1916. Age: 26.

Regiment/Service: Royal Warwickshire Regiment. 11th Bn.

Grave Reference: I. U. 23. Cemetery: BECOURT MILITARY CEMETERY, BECORDEL-BECOURT

Additional Information: Son of Joseph and Hannah Shaw, of Dunchurch, Rugby; husband of Edith Annie Atkins (formerly Shaw), of Walton, Rugby.

Thanks for the information. I have a separate list of around 90 men who enlisted in the area. I didn't have the three men you have mentioned, so will add them to my listing and research where they are commemorated locally.

[rflory]

Lieutenant Rowland Auriol James Beech, 16th (The Queen’s) Lancers was an Eton man. There is a photo of him in The Bond of Sacrifice, volume II, page 34. If you don't have bio information on him from Eton or would like his photo send me a pm with your email address.

There is a book City of Coventry Roll of the Fallen which has short biographical information on those from that city who died, but no photos.

Herbert H Kenney is my great uncle. My great grandad (Fred’s) older brother. He was one of 41 killed in Biaches France 4th feb 1917. He is one of 14 soldiers never to be found and likely buried from extreme mortar bombardment. I’ve seen his photo one and I do believe my grandad has it somewhere in his attic. I’ll try and locate it and send you it if you like.
