Guest Ian Tingay Posted 16 February , 2006 Share Posted 16 February , 2006 Dick, I note from your fist message on this thread that you have the unit history for the 11th Siege Battery RGA. My great grandfather Gnr Percival Boulton 164368 was serving with this unit when he died on 24th March 1918. I'm wondering if you can shed any light on the unit's activities around that time, I suspect in the St. Quentin or Bapaume area? Could you also confirm my belief that the 11th was a unit made up of reservists and volunteers and what region of the UK it may have recruited from if any in particular? Also what guns were the battery using? I see you have been so kind in finding out information for others in this thread so hope you will be able to assist. Much gratitude in advance for anything you can offer. Best Wishes, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcarleton Posted 19 February , 2006 Share Posted 19 February , 2006 Time permitting, I'm interested in the locations and activities of the 2nd Canadian and 24 Heavy Battery to the extent my research says the 152 Heavy Battery was assigned to or served with these. Dates of interest: 20 March to 28 Oct 1917 (the 2nd Canadian HAG) 15 Nov 1917 to November 1918 (sister battery 24th Heavy) My gratitude for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campaign Posted 22 February , 2006 Share Posted 22 February , 2006 Hi - here's hoping you can help. I'm confused. I started my search with 1837 online where my relatives soldier details state he was in Royal Horse Artillery and R F Artillery. ? Further search found a medal card for him which states RFA twice. Rather than list all that stuff I'll attach a pic of him (he is on the right) and the card and hope you can find some more info for me when time allows - he was K in A 25/09/1917 France & Flanders - many thanks PS have heard from 'Papineau' very kindly that he may have been in a rifle regiment?

bcarleton Posted 22 February , 2006 Share Posted 22 February , 2006 Looks like 11 th Brigade Royal Field Artillery (RFA) to me. His 'service number' looks like 27089 (unless my eyes are faulty). Elsewhere in the forum are some experts on identifying more particulars that stem from those numbers. Try a search using 'regimental numbers' to find that forum. Very likely this fellow lost his life during the 3rd battle of Ypres. There is also a RFA number out there somewhere that should indicate exactly which unit he was in. Sorry, my notes aren't good enough to show what units were in 11th Bde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chablo Posted 27 February , 2006 Share Posted 27 February , 2006 Greville Hubert Robins Blount was wounded at the 1st Battle of the Marne, near Courtchamps on 10th September 1914 and died two weeks later in the Australian Voluntary Hospital at St Nazaire. He is buried with one other officer and about 30 British and German soldiers in the Cimeterie des Toutes Aides, St Nazaire. The cemetery plot is well cared for and the military graves represent an area of order in the midst of the more free-form local custom. I have more information if it interests you! Best regards Chablo QUOTE (Chris_B @ Nov 9 2005, 12:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dick, Many many thanks for all the detail about Gerville Blount, including his mother's name, which had eluded me. The TIMES newspaper has him born in Aldershot, but the detail you have matches that shown in De Ruivgny's Roll of Honour but has additional information that includes the crucial fact of where/when he was wounded, notice of which first appeared in the TIMES on the 17th. As a point of interest, his name "BLOUNT G." appears on the Mitcham War Memorial to the fallen of the Great War, and a there is a memorial plaque to him in the Mitcham Parish Church of St.Peter and St.Paul which is not surprising as he was married to the youngest daughter of the Rev. Canon, Daniel Frederic Wilson, Vicar of Mitcham. Blount's father, Charles Hubert Blount had also been an officer in the RA, and served as a Major in the South African War, where he had died of enteric fever. Such are fortunes of war.

Lost in Tilloy Posted 1 March , 2006 Share Posted 1 March , 2006 Hi Dick I'm currently researching the life of Lieutenant Robert Gilroy Bannernman of the 157th Brigade RFA. As far as I can make out he joined the unit around January 1916 and was KIA on the 25th July 1916. He is buried at Quarry Cemetery, Montauban. Could you give me an idea as to where the 157th Brigade RFA were located from Jan 1916, but most of all could you tell me where they were on the date he was killed [25th July 1916]?

jeanpaulbenoit Posted 8 March , 2006 Share Posted 8 March , 2006 >>War Diary and Roll of Honour, 14th Heavy Battery, RGA in France, Belgium, Germany Dear Dick, The 126th Siege Battery that interests me: "Went out to Western Front 25th July 1916, joined 14th H.A.G on the 2nd of August 1916." Could you please tell me where the 14th Heavy were fighting around the 2nd of August 1916? Would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhill Posted 8 March , 2006 Share Posted 8 March , 2006 Hill, Edward 34083 Gunner Royal Garrison Artillery 27th Siege Bty Died Belgium 27/07/1917 Any mention of what was happening around the time of their deaths. Isadore I cannot help very much. Since Edward is at LIJSSENTHOEK, he most likely died at one of the group of Casualty Clearing Stations using that cemetery. These were Nos. 10, 17, 2 Cdn., and 3 Cdn. The diary of No. 3 Cdn. C.C.S. lists deaths for that period, but this fellow's name is not there. However, as an extra bit of information, we note the death on July 26th of 48035 Gnr. C. Oliver of the 27th Siege Bty. One might speculate that these two were wounded in the same strafe, or even by the same shell! At this time the preliminary bombardment for the "Northern" offensive in front of Ypres was in progress. The diary of No. 2 Cdn. C.C.S. records that about 40 percent of the casuaties they admitted were from the artillery. Sorry to be so sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have anything on 157th Brigade, RFA but here is what I have on Lieutenant Robert Gilroy Bannerman, RFA: Known as "Roy" he was born in 1894, the eldest son of William Bannerman, the Holm, Maxwelltown, Dumfries. Educated at George Heriot's School from 1909 to 1912 where he played in the First XV and was a Cadet Corporal in the OTC, was a medalist in Latin and Chemistry, and a Joint Dux of School; and at the University of Edinburgh where he was a Student of the Arts from 1912 to 1915 and a Cadet Bombardier in the Artillery OTC. Commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in June 1915 and served with 157th Brigade, RFA Promoted to Lieut, RFA in July 1916 Killed in action on 25 July 1916 near Montauban on the Somme His younger brother, 2nd Lieut Eric Bannermanwas killed in action near Cambrai on 20 November 1917 while serving with the 1/8 Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, TF Sources: George Heriot School Roll of Honour, 1914-1919; University of Edinburgh Roll of Honour, 1914-1919. There are photos of him in each of the two volumes. PM me if you would like me to email you scans of the photos. Regards. Dick Flory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, sorry I haven't been back to this thread, should have let you know that alas, the medal card shown does not match the photo. When advised of the full details I saw that the parents of that particular Charlie Thomas were not a match to those I sought. I've been following this along in the Soldiers, arms, uniforms thread, still no success but very helpful as ever. many thanks. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mberwick Posted 11 March , 2006 Share Posted 11 March , 2006 Dick, When you have time would you please take a look at your copies of London Gunners Come to Town (5, 6, 7, and 8 London Brigades, RFA TF) Short Record of War Services of the 7th London Brigade, RFA TF to see if they contain anything on Driver Charles Falconer Davidson, #1503, 19th Battery, 7th London Brigade R.F.A. who, having arrived in France on March 3rd 1915, was killed in action on January 9th 1916, aged 20. According to a report in "The Sphere" on Aug 15th 1916, he died while saving his horses during German shelling. He took his own horses back to shelter then went back to try to save others. He had released one by cutting the traces when a shell burst nearby. The shell fragment which killed him passed through a picture of Lord Kitchener, which was found on him after his death. According to his Commanding Officer, Col. Lord Gorell's letter to his parents, Charles's last words were "How are my poor horses?" I have his C.W.G.C. entry and Medal Card.

126BATTERYRFA Posted 12 March , 2006 Share Posted 12 March , 2006 Hello, RFLORY My grandfather, Robert DAVIES, born 1891, Cromer, Norfolk, England served in the Royal Field Artillery in WW1. I haven't confirmed this yet, but I believe he was in the 126 Battery, Subsection B, 29th Brigade. My grandfather was wounded in battle and he was later sent to Chelmsford, Essex to convalesce. I am on the quest for any information about his unit and the gunners he served with. Would you have any information on the above regiment? If so, I'd be very pleased to hear from you.

snavek Posted 12 March , 2006 Share Posted 12 March , 2006 Can anyone help me with the location of 41 Bty, 42 Bde. on 9th April, 1917. Grandfather joined up as a Gunner or Driver, RFA and got a Blighty just outside Arras on that date, but I cant seem to find where the guns were. I'm pretty sure he was taken to a Field Dressing Station at Tilloy before being sent home. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me where 14th Brigade RGA would've been operating around March 24th 1918? I was assuming my GGF was caught up in the Spring Offensive given the date he died and that he is commemorated at the Arras Memorial. The LLT suggests that 14th Brigade was part of the Fourth Army as of November 1918, but would've had to have been part of Third or Fifth Armies to have been caught up in the Spring Offensive? Or am I wrong? Many thanks again, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
