BJanman Posted 21 December , 2007 Author Share Posted 21 December , 2007 Barbara Charles Marshall is one of my original researchees. I am just waiting for a revised biography to be uploaded to my website (along with the biographies of another 16 RAMC fatalities from the Stockport area) but here's the advanced copy:- Also aboard was another local man, Harry Turner, also on his way to Gallipoli with a Field Ambulance unit. " [/i] John Thanks John. I am thinking I might add him to my database with unit and family information ect and do a link to your website, if that's ok, as the letters come from your research. I will wait until your revised biography is uploaded. (That will also give me time to work out how to do a link ) In case you are not aware, No 553, Pte Harry TURNER was serving with the 2nd/1st East Lancs. Field Ambulance (T.F.)

BJanman Posted 21 December , 2007 Author Share Posted 21 December , 2007 David It looks to me as if Edmund O'Neill transferred into the Army Service Corps and not the RAMC. I do not have him listed, sorry. I have actually just started a new access database to list the men I find who were not RAMC but serving with an RAMC unit. i.e. ASC or priests ect because their names are coming up on nominal rolls, but I am only adding them as I find them and not researching them. If there is anyone who is doing a database on these men, just let me know and I will send the names your way. Cheers Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hartley Posted 21 December , 2007 Share Posted 21 December , 2007 In case you are not aware, No 553, Pte Harry TURNER was serving with the 2nd/1st East Lancs. Field Ambulance (T.F.) Yep - got him. As far as I can establish he was a pre-war territorial and was 17 when he died. I know very little about him really. His parents were Emma & James of 11 Wingate Road, Heaton Chapel, Stockport. A memorial service was held for Harry at Heaton Moor Congregationalist Church, where the family worshipped, on Sunday 12 September 1915.

ianw Posted 22 December , 2007 Share Posted 22 December , 2007 I am most interested in knowing more about Lt Col Thomas McCulloch RAMC who is buried at Netley and was a senior doctor at that hospital. He died just a few months after his son was killed in Ypres, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJanman Posted 23 December , 2007 Author Share Posted 23 December , 2007 I've just realised how I worded my last post John and Bernard I have cross-referenced the information you both posted about Capt Charles Bertram Marshall with info I had, and added it to my database. The only thing I can add is that he was a member of the Manchester University Lacrosse Team. I have credited you both for the info and added the website addresses but I am not able to put a link so I have added info from the letters. I did talk to the website designer about adding a links page and that is something he plans to do, so I will add a link then. I wasn't aware of the Manchester Regiment Forum before so I hope I've added the right address. Please let me know if you are not happy with anything I've put. ianw, I will keep an eye out for information for you. Thanks Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fair Posted 24 December , 2007 Share Posted 24 December , 2007 Hello Barbara For your database, this is what I have on the Medical Officers who served with both battalions of the 19th London Regt (St Pancras). Unfortunately not a huge amount of info given the lack of service records. The following served with the 1/19th (141 Bde, 47 Div) in chronological order: 1. HANKS, Andrew George Tottenham, Capt - appears to have been comm 6/4/1910, but did not serve overseas w 1/19th. (Shown as A/Major in MIC Index, but I don't know which unit he served with when he held this rank.) 2. PEARSON, LG, Lt - comm 28/10/1914, went overseas w 1/19th on 10/3/1915 until late 1916, and again in March 1917 and early 1918 3. FOTHERINGHAM, William, Capt - served w 1/19th from c. late 1916 early 1917 and again in 1918 - seems to have been a period when PEARSON may have been away sick or wounded. Shown in 1/19th War Diary as being awarded MC on 20 July 1917 and Bar to MC on 4 Jan 1918. Shown as Major in MIC Index. 4. TIBBLES, JR, Lt - served with 1/19th for about 2 months in the spring of 1917 (appears to have been when Pearson and Fotheringham were not available), and was then posted to a battalion of the Buffs. His memoirs are in the Liddle Collection, U of Leeds. 5. From early 1918 to 14 May 1918 the 1/19th had a doctor from the US Army, Lt Charles ROWLAND. There is a photo and some description of him in the book 'The Long Carry' by stretcher bearer Frank Dunham. 6. SELLAR, TM Capt. 1/19th War Diary records that he reported to relieve Lt ROWLAND on 14 May 1918 The following served with the 2/19th (180 Bde, 60 Div), also in chronological order: 1. BROWN , DD, Lt - Comm 19/10/1914, but does not appear to have gone overseas with the 2/19th. 2. PORTEOUS, WJ, Lt - the history of the 2/19th refers to him (p.16) being appointed in sometime early 1916, just before the bn went overseas in June 1916. He was a New Zealander. 3. NEWTON, Charles Herdman, Capt - appears to have been appointed early 1917 while the battalion was in Macedonia. (2/19th history, p.54) Please let me know if you would like more detail on any of the sources referred to above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJanman Posted 24 December , 2007 Author Share Posted 24 December , 2007 Hello Charles Thank you for your list of RMOs. A quick look for info on the Drs in your list for the 1/19th and it is possible that:- Lt PEARSON LG is Lt Lionel Glover PEARSON M.B. Durh - 1912 (University Durh & Leeds) Late Senior Hon Surg, Beckett Hosp, Barnsley Hon Phy - Leeds General Infirmary Lt TIBBLES, JR is Lt Joseph Russell TIBBLES M.B., Ch.B. Aberd 1915 M.R.C.S. Eng., L.R.C.P. Lond 1915 Capt SELLAR, TM is Capt Thos McCall SELLAR M.B., Ch.B. Edinburgh 1910 From Midlothian Info from the 1921 Medical Directory. I will add all the men over the Christmas holiday period and see if I can trace any further information on all of them. Those that were wounded would probably have a mention in The Lancet or Medical Journal but I do not have all the pages and without an exact date it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, I will let you know how I get on. I have found the photo of Dr Charles Rowlands, thank you also for pointing me in that direction. I'm not sure about the other sources yet, I might come back to you if that's OK.

Charles Fair Posted 25 December , 2007 Share Posted 25 December , 2007 Mick and Bernard - thanks for additional details on those two RMOs. Barbara - when my database is reasonably complete I will send you a file with the 300 or so RAMC men transferred into the 19th. It will be a few months before I am finished though.

BJanman Posted 27 December , 2007 Author Share Posted 27 December , 2007 Thanks also to Mick and Bernard for additional info on the RMOs and thanks again Bernard for posting more from the absent voters lists. Charles - thanks again for your offer of sending your file of 300 men who transferred from the RAMC, that would be brilliant and there is no rush at all. I have located W Fotheringham's name on a nominal roll for Officers, Warrant Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers in the History of the 5th London Field Ambulance T.F. As they were serving with the 141st Bde it is possible that that's why he stood in for Pearson. I haven't found Pearson in the Lancet as yet. I can only trace one D D Brown and that is Daniel Durward BROWN. He had a practice at Norfolk Lodge, Leeds Rd, Harrogate. M.D. Durh - 1913; MRCS & LRCP - Lond 1894 and LSA - 1894 (St Bart) Capt RAMC 1914. There is more about him, not war related, which I will add to my database. That's all I've found so far, I'll add them to the database and keep looking. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fair Posted 31 December , 2007 Share Posted 31 December , 2007 I have located W Fotheringham's name on a nominal roll for Officers, Warrant Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers in the History of the 5th London Field Ambulance T.F. As they were serving with the 141st Bde it is possible that that's why he stood in for Pearson. That is good lateral thinking. I hadn't thought of that, but it certainly makes sense for the RMOs to have transferred from the divisional field ambulances and vice versa depending on requirements. I forgot that I had a photocopy of "A brief record of the 6th London Field Ambulance" pub London (no date). I think this is a different document from the one you were referring to as they were attd 142 Bde: if so, do you have it? FOTHERINGHAM appears in this under the nominal roll of officers (p. 35). There is also a Capt ROWLAND, but no indication as to whether he was the US officer who served with the 1/19th. Thanks for additional info on Brown too. The file of the RAMC transferrees wil be a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeldr Posted 1 January , 2008 Share Posted 1 January , 2008 The photograph below comes from the same collection, however I am unable to add anything as the photographer's caption seems to be an unclear mixture of titles. Looking at the OofB for the EEF, the closest which I can get to a match is 'Casualty Clearing Stations and Clearing Hospitals Palestine Lines of Communication 34th Combined Clearing Hospital (formerly 65th Casualty Clearing Station)' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
