He made a witnessed will at Belton Park on 6 July 1916. RM Hello rolt968 not sure what you know about Pte James Gordon but these are the details that I have found about him. SNWM details that he was born in Knowhead Minmuir Forfar and that he was sadly killed on the 24.1.17. The 96th Company war diary details that they had moved to the area of Mailly-Maillet on the 21st where they were involved with holding the divisional line with other companies by indirect fire on preselected targets of an average of 1000 rounds each night. Weather was very cold with snow but there were no reported cases of sickness among the troops in the line where they rotated A + B sections with C + D sections every 5 days with the resting men being employed in carrying rations to those on duty at the front where it was usually quite. The normal routine was shattered as the entry for the 25th reads "6.20AM. The enemy artillery had been very active during the night and at 'stand to' he got a direct 'whizz bang' hit on a dugout entrance causing casualties of 2 other ranks killed (1 sergeant) with 3 other ranks (1 corporal) wounded." CWGC details that it was likely that the 2 that died were 42331 Pte J Gordon and 27399 Sergeant W Tomkins who were buried side by side in Euston road cemetery, Colinscamps. The Army Register of Soldiers' Effects details that the sum of £3 9 s 6 d was granted to his father on the 11.4.17 and £6 to his mother on 21.10.19. I couldn't find any details of his service records but from his service number he was with one of the reserve battalions of the Black watch before his transfer to the MGC?

Hope this information is accurate and useful, Lincspoacher Thanks! I had got all that. All correct, except born at Knowhead, Menmuir (near Brechin, Angus). I have been working on him for some time. I can't find my notes immediately, but I think he enlisted in 3/5 Black Watch. His gratuity suggests that he enlisted in August 1915. The local newspaper is rather good on enlistments, so I must have a note from the local newspaper somewhere. I had spotted the section about the casualties of the direct hit on the dugout entrance including a sergeant and Sgt Thomkins' being buried next to James Gordon, which is the kind of evidence you don't often get. I don't have anything between enlistment and the will made in Grantham. Does the serial number give you any idea when he transferred into the Machine Gun Corps?

Lincspoacher Posted 29 May , 2017 Author Share Posted 29 May , 2017 Hello there good to hear that I have been on the right track for you! I think base on the time that they were going through the new service numbers that were around the 28,00's in March and 34,000's in the May with an earlier batch of Black Watch men ( part 36 of this thread?) then I would say he was just starting his MG training in the July when he made his will with his number in the 42,000's. This would likely mean him arriving overseas in September to maybe reach the 96th MGC to help them recover from their involvement on the Somme as the war diary details full combat strength wasn't re-established until November with a draft of untrained men from the rest of the brigade.

Awestruck grandson Posted 2 June , 2017 Share Posted 2 June , 2017 Hi, anyone, My grandad was transferred to the MGC in 1918, his number was 155688, could anyone give a timeframe for his transfer according to his number. Also he was listed as being in hospital in Boulogne in Oct of 1918 after being "severely gassed", he had only been wounded the Dec before and lost a knee cap so was not highly mobile. would anyone know how he would have been able to serve at the front line with the MGC and of any gas attacks so late in the war.

Admin kenf48 Posted 2 June , 2017 Admin Share Posted 2 June , 2017 Based on surviving service records he appears to have been in a group of men who were 'combed out' from various Command Depots and Convalescent Hospitals following the losses following the German Spring Offensive and posted to the 3rd Training Battalion at Clipstone Camp on the 16th May 1918. They went to France at various times from July to October. Where the records survive they indicate orthopaedic injuries. Boulogne was a Base Hospital so doesn't help identify his unit. Gas was widely used at this stage of the war in artillery shells, machine gunners would have been targeted and vulnerable. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
