Geert Spillebeen Posted 25 January , 2007 Share Posted 25 January , 2007 I have another question: I have a drawing of LT. Michael Allenby. Son of General Allenby. Is there anything in The "War Illustrated" about the general's SON? Or in "Bond of Sacrifice?" Lieutenant HMH Allenby (called Michael), died 29 July 1917. Details: see attached picture of his head stone in Koksijde (= Coxyde, Belgian coast). Is there a photo of Michael Allenby? More details? What happened to him? Mentioned somewhere? Any information... Michael and Gen.Edmund Allenby are linked to the work of Sir Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts Movement.

Geert Spillebeen Posted 26 January , 2007 Author Share Posted 26 January , 2007 Thans Steve! I do not know how it works? Does this mean you can find "[/u]" of other soldiers in the Times or London Gazette? Or/and the obituary ? For example: 2LT W.F.Rodney, Rifle Brigade (att. to Royal Flying Corps), died 9 May 1915 2LT or LT C.B.Spence, pilot, RFC, died same day, along with Rodney, 9May 1915 2LT Marc A.P. Noble, Royal Field Artillery, 1 July 1917 2LT M.C.Wroughton, 12 Royal Lancers, died 30 Oct.1914 GEERT SPILLEBEEN, Flanders geert . spillebeen @ euronet . be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebie9173 Posted 26 January , 2007 Share Posted 26 January , 2007 Can't locate Wroughton. He is listed during November 1914 as wounded, and then died of wounds. I'll find the Gazette entries later. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto_33853 Posted 27 January , 2007 Share Posted 27 January , 2007 Gert, Rodneys Obit from the 1915 Rifle Brigade Chronicles:- 2nd Lieutenant Hon. F.W. Rodney. Francis William Rodney was the fourth son of the seventh Baron Rodney and Corisande, second daughter of the first Lord Wimbourne and was born 2 October 1896 and was educated at Shrewsbury College and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He was appointed to the 5th (Reserve) Battalion in December 1914 and joined the Royal Flying Corps and did duty in Flanders as an Observer with No. 3 Squadron. On 9 May 1915 when carrying on his observations he was shot down and killed. He was buried at Choques near Bethune. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linge Posted 28 January , 2007 Share Posted 28 January , 2007 Geert In case you have not already got a copy this id wroughton's entry from de Ruvigny's: Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geert Spillebeen Posted 28 January , 2007 Author Share Posted 28 January , 2007 Thanks a lot, PAM, for this quote about Lt. Wroughton! Is there a way to search this Ruvigny's ON-LINE ? Geert (geert.spillebeen@euronet.be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linge Posted 29 January , 2007 Share Posted 29 January , 2007 Geert I don't think de Ruvigny's is on line. I have checked for Allenby, Noble, Rodney and Spence - none of them have an obituary in de Ruvigny's Re your other query re Bond of Scarifice as far as I am aware there are only 2 Volumes Vol I Covering the start of the war up until 31st Dec 1914 and Vol 2 covering 1st Jan 1915 to 30th June 1915. So no chance of an entry for anyone killed after that date. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
