June Underwood Posted 25 January , 2014 Share Posted 25 January , 2014 Tom, I've only just found this thread - it didn't appear to be relevant to any of my research at first. I've just done a search on the name Captain Andrew Eric Hamilton-Agnew and found your post. I can help you a bit as he is buried in the churchyard of Weston Turville, Bucks. In 2002 I researched our local War Memorial and had some names added - Captain Hamilton-Agnews name was amongst those. There is a photo of the War Memorial on our website www.buckinghamshireremembers.org.uk and also a photo of his grave, which is a family one rather than CWGC. He lived at the Manor House in Weston Turville - not Tring. In the censuses Weston Turville is often described as being Tring (Herts). He married 5 Jun 1918, (shortly before he died) Miss Marian Roseanna Neilson Hedderwick (Maisie) who was the daughter of the late Thomas CH Hedderwick and Jemima JE Hedderwick (both born in Scotland). They lived at Biggar Park and Weston Turville Manor House, so presumably they were living with Maisie's mother whilst Andrew was a Recruiting Officer in Aylesbury. His name appears on many of the Attestation Papers of the local recruits. Andrew's name is included in CWGC but it can only be found by putting in Hamilton-Agnew (with a hyphen). I think it can be found in ODGW by using the surname of Agnew. I believe there is a photograph of Andrew in the Bucks Advertiser but I don't have this yet. I hope this helps June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdoyle Posted 25 January , 2014 Share Posted 25 January , 2014 Below (Carson) Unfindable, IFCP?The Weekly Irish Times. Saturday, June 9, 1917.Officer Rescued by Lady.Miss Marjory Boyd, masseuse at a military hospital, was congratulated by the jury at Weybridge, after relating how she rescued Lieutenant Hunter, R.F.C., when his comrade. Lieutenant Carson, R.F.C., of South Croydon was drowned. The officers were punting on the Thames when, in changing places, Hunter overbalanced and fell into the water. Unable to get the ount around, Carson dived in after his comrade, but disappeared. Miss Boyd, who was in a punt, put it towards Hunter, but he was by this time unconscious. Miss Boyd thereupon jumped into the river, and caught his outstretched arm after he had sunk twice. She got him to the punt and held on until further assistance arrived. A verdict of accidental drowning was returned in the case of Lieutenant Carson. Looks like Lt Carson was Lt R S (Roy Septimas) Carlton based on June 7th 1917 edition of Flight Magazine http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1917/1917%20-%200566.html http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/367721/CARLTON,%20R%20S Served as a Private with Honourable Artillery Co before being commissioned into the South Lancs. Mother and brothers were born in Dublin according to 1901 English census; he was born in Teddington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andwhiteside Posted 16 January , 2015 Share Posted 16 January , 2015 I spoke about Jack Salter this week at Kilkenny College, his alma mater, and will do so again in St Patrick's Cathedral at 7 p.m. on 3 February. I have met his daughter in England and she has many cuttings about his experience as a prisoner of war. Salter-July 1-2 (1916), killed in action, Second Lieutenant John William Salter, Royal Irish Rifles, son of Philip and Mrs Salter, Skibbereen. 1911 census has a Philip Salter in Skibbereen http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cork/Skibbereen_Urban/North_Street/441518/ 1901 has Philip with a son John William Salter http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/Skibbereen_Urban/North_Street/1155473/ Believe that Salter was captured and that this is him relinquishing his commission in 1920 http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/31889/supplements/5221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 9 September , 2018 Share Posted 9 September , 2018 Following school at Campbell College John Hyndman Watson studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he is commemorated on their Roll of Honor. Cannot ascertain a graduation date so far but imagine as he left school in 1904 that he had graduated before the outbreak of war. He was the youngest of 6 children and only son. His commemorative plaque hung in our house for many years which finally prompted my search and visit to Ploegsteert Belgium some years ago.
