Esskay Posted 22 November , 2007 Share Posted 22 November , 2007 If RE's are an option - wonder if the Major Brunner pictured is the same one referred to in Brigantian's post of 6th Aug 2005 The 6 E Yorks were accompanied by half of 67 Field Company RE during the attack on Tekke Tepe. The role of the Engineers was, “to assist in placing the hill in a state of defence”. The 67 FCRE war diary records that, “The O/C Coy (Major Brunner) was lost while accompanying O/C E Yorkshires during the retreat”. On p28 of his book, John Still describes a conversation with a sapper major, who was later bayoneted in cold blood. This is almost certainly a reference to Major Brunner. Captain Elliott, 6 East Yorks, who was taken prisoner with Lieutenant Still, later stated in a report outlining the circumstances of his capture, that Major Brunner, Lt Still & Lt Col Moore joined him near the top of Tekke Tepe before the retirement. It therefore appears that the Engineers accompanied the E Yorks all the way.

matt.buck1 Posted 25 November , 2007 Share Posted 25 November , 2007 Just a few photographs out of an Album which is in pieces. John I have recently found that my great grandfather Rifleman Robert James Merritt Standen was in the 1/18th Batt London reg. I am desperately looking for a photo of him or the regiment. He was posted to the front in jan 1916 and wounded in 1917 and I think he was a farrier. Can anyone help my research? Matt Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battiscombe Posted 15 December , 2007 Share Posted 15 December , 2007 On the basis of the 1912 Army list I would suggest the Capt H Wilson is Capt EEB Holt Wilson DSO, Royal Engineers - a commander of a company of gentleman cadets in 1912 .. thanks again for showing the pics .. the 1912 Army list confirms Major Brunner was chief instructor in military engineering etc .. and Col A G Thompson was commandant david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
