Guest Kieron Hoyle Posted 8 November , 2003 Share Posted 8 November , 2003 I thought that it might be a nice idea to have an 'on-line field of remembrance' on the site over the course of the next few days, so that people could just add a post with details of someone they want to remember.

Paul Reed Posted 8 November , 2003 Share Posted 8 November , 2003 Remembering countless lives which have touched me in many ways over the years, but especially: 2/Lt Eric Rupert Heaton, 16th Middlesex, who fell in front of Beaumont Hamel on 1st July 1916, aged 20. An extract from his last letter home read, "If I fall, do not let things be black for you. Be happy. You will be living then, always to my memory..."

Paul Reed Posted 8 November , 2003 Share Posted 8 November , 2003 And also the boys of the old brigade, No 1 Platoon, A Company, 12th Royal Sussex. Led originally by the redoubtable Nelson Victor Carter, they were wiped out at Richebourg on 30th June 1916. Carter, a giant of a man with tattoos of Buffalo Bill on both forearms, he was awarded a posthumous VC that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeppoSapone Posted 8 November , 2003 Share Posted 8 November , 2003 A representative pair - one from my fathers family and one from my mothers: L/Cpl Joseph Morella (true family name Marcella), 2nd/12th London Regiment (The Rangers) dow 24/12/1917 - Mendinghem Military Cemetery. Pte Joseph Bull, 1st/4th Cheshires, kia 14/10/1918 - Hooge Crater Cemetery. And one I have never 'understood' until seeing the documentary about Major Cain, VC last week. It seems that a very high % of VC winners had had responsibility thrust upon them by family circumstance. Fusilier Dennis Donnini, VC, aged 19 of 4th/5th Royal Scots Fusiliers 18/01/1945 - Sittard War Cemetery. In 1940, when this man was in his early teens his father was interned. As his elder brothers were in the army - one POW and one died - and his elder sisters in the ATS he would have had to keep the family business going, and see that his mother, and any younger siblings, were ok. Thats responsibility. His father was released from an internment camp, after almost five years, to collect his dead sons VC from the King. The King is said to have told him to go home, which he did.

Simon_Fielding Posted 9 November , 2003 Share Posted 9 November , 2003 In memory of all of the men who marched away, and who never came home; and one of our own in particular: Private John Heath below. Simon Remember REMEMBER me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
