INTRODUCTORY NOTE.


This volume of “Craven’s Part in the Great War” is a humble but sincere
expression on the part of Mr. Walter Morrison, of Malham Tarn, of the
gallant, heroic and self-sacrificing spirit shown by the sons of Craven
in resisting the unscrupulous, malignant and prearranged design of
Germany and her dupes to crush the British Empire and the civilised
countries associated with her. Mr. Morrison’s anxiety to commemorate
the part that Craven has played in the Great War, and to perpetuate
the memory of those who have fallen or been otherwise stricken, found
its solution in October, 1916, when, at a meeting at Mr. Morrison’s
“mountain home” on Malham Moor, a board of trustees to see to the
carrying out of the work was formed, consisting of Mr. Morrison (who
has generously defrayed the entire cost), Col. John Birkbeck, J.P.,
Settle, and Mr. Thomas Brayshaw, J.P., solicitor, Settle. The task,
which has entailed three years’ hard work in compiling what may,
without egotism, be termed a unique record, was entrusted to Mr. John
T. Clayton, editor of the “_Craven Herald_,” who has had the valued
assistance of Mr. Brayshaw and his extensive local knowledge of the
Craven district.

Everything that assiduous care and attention to detail could suggest
has been done to make the record complete so far as the Skipton
Parliamentary Division is concerned, and we are confident that the
volume will be treasured as an honoured heirloom in every family whose
representative has done his share in freeing our beloved Empire from
the slavery of German hatred and military aggression.

AN EPITOME OF THE WAR.


Few people in these Islands knew in the early part of the summer of
1914 that Europe was on the verge of the greatest war in history. The
few men who had foresight and courage enough to warn us of the German
menace were ridiculed, and when the Archduke Franz Ferdinand (nephew
and heir to the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria) and his wife were
assassinated at Sarajevo, it was not realized that we had reached the
opening stages of a long-drawn-out tragedy which would see Europe
converted into a vast battlefield and cast a shadow over the whole
world.

Austria, at the instigation of Germany, made the Sarajevo occurrence
the pretext for beginning a war they had already planned and organized.
Serbia was to be made a scapegoat, and Germany was to take advantage
of the international situation thus created to launch her schemes
for empire development. There was a month’s delay, probably to allow
Germany to complete her preparations. On July 25th, Austria sent a note
to Serbia charging her with complicity in the Sarajevo crime, demanding
the suppression of all Serbian propaganda in the Dual Monarchy, and
insisting that an investigation into the assassinations should be
conducted on Serbian soil with the assistance of Serbian officials.


GERMAN DASH TO PARIS.

Serbia refused, and this was followed by a declaration on the part of
Russia that she would permit no trifling in the Balkans. Meanwhile
England was doing her utmost to pour oil on the troubled waters. One
of her suggestions was a conference. This was turned down by Austria,
who, on July 28th, declared war on Serbia. Thus began the hostilities
which led to Armageddon. The challenge was taken up by Russia; in turn
Germany declared war on both Russia and France; and finally Great
Britain, determined not to tolerate the invasion of neutral Belgium,
and refusing to contemplate the harrying of the French north coast,
declared war on Germany. The fateful step was taken at 11 p.m. on
August 4th.

Germany’s preparedness for war gave her a tremendous advantage at the
outset. The first blow was aimed at Paris, and in attempting this coup
the Hun armies over-ran Belgium, destroying and plundering some of its
greatest treasures and committing crimes which horrified the world. For
a time the advancing army was irresistible, but eventually the forces
of Sir John French and General Joffre put a stop to the enemy progress
and at the first battle of the Marne, commenced on September 6th,
caused the Germans to retreat in disorder.

After the first onrush had been checked trench warfare was introduced,
the line extending through Belgium, the north-east corner of France,
Lorraine and Alsace, and thence to the Swiss frontier. Meanwhile, Lord
Kitchener, realizing that the war must of necessity be a long and
exhausting one, had commenced his great task of building up an army fit
to take its stand with those of Continental Powers. There was a noble
response and thousands of recruits were quickly trained and drafted
out to play their part in the great adventure.


AFTER THE MARNE.

The relative positions of the Armies in 1915 altered little from those
taken up after the battle of the Marne, but there were many historic
events during that trying year--the capture by the British of Neuve
Chapelle, the two battles of Ypres (in the second of which the Germans
introduced poison gas), the heavy campaigning in the Argonne, the
bombardment of Rheims, the French offensive in Champagne, and the
British offensive at Loos.

During the winter of 1915-1916 Germany’s initial hopes of success
began to grow less rosy. The British Army continued to grow; Italy
and Rumania joined the Allies; and on almost every side the Central
Powers began to feel pressure. The outstanding events during this
period included the smashing by the British of an onslaught from
Messines Ridge and the repulsing of an advance towards Albert. There
was terrific fighting at Verdun (where the French displayed heroic
qualities), and the great Allied offensive on the Somme. There was
also a British victory on the Ancre, and “tanks” made their initial
appearance.


ON THE WAY TO VICTORY.

One of the most tragic events of the war occurred on June 5th, 1916,
Lord Kitchener being drowned while on his way to Russia. Politically
there were happenings of great importance, one of the principal being
the resignation of Mr. Asquith as Prime Minister and the acceptance of
office by Mr. Lloyd George, whose work as Minister of Munitions had
brought him into much prominence in matters relative to the conduct of
the war.

Early in 1917 the United States, after long deliberation, threw in
her lot with the Allied cause, followed by Central and South America.
Later Greece, chiefly through the influence of Venezelos, compelled
King Constantine, the friend of Germany, to abdicate and enter the war
on the side of the Allies; while China and Siam followed the example
of Japan and protested practically against German lust for world
power. Throughout the year there was heavy fighting on the Western
front. In April the British captured Vimy Ridge, in June they annexed
Messines Ridge, and in November took part in a magnificent episode at
Passchendaele. By these operations they became masters of commanding
positions, and for the first time the feeling was encouraged that the
Allies were on the way to victory.


GERMANS’ LAST BID FOR VICTORY.

One of the most noted successes in 1917 was that at Cambrai on November
20th, while in October the French brought the famous ridge road, the
Chemin des Dames, within their lines. “Unrestricted” U-boat warfare
was commenced by the Germans early this year, and was a source of
considerable anxiety to the Allies. Internally Russia was in the
throes of revolution. The Czar abdicated on March 15th and a republic
was proclaimed on September 15th. This was followed by the Bolshevist
_coup d’état_ on November 8th, and an armistice on the Russian front on
December 6th.

The winter of 1917-1918 was in the nature of the calm which precedes
the storm. On March 21st, the Boche made his last desperate bid for
victory, attacking on a 50-mile front between the Scarpe and the Oise.
Results unlooked for by the Allies were the outcome. Peronne was
captured in three days, and on March 25th the Germans had reached their
original line of July, 1916, on this sector. This, for the Allies, was
the blackest moment of the war, inasmuch as it brought within the range
of possibility the achievement by the enemy of his original plan--the
capture of the Channel ports and the consequent domination of British
shores.

The Allies prepared for a great effort. In England the military age
was raised to 51; General Foch was appointed commander-in-chief of
the Allied armies; there were effective naval raids on Zeebrugge
and Ostend; a million Americans were shipped to France; and by the
beginning of June the German advance had been checked.


THE ARMISTICE.

The last German offensive began on July 15th on a 50-mile front
before Rheims. It failed and was converted into an Allied victory.
Thenceforward the Allies achieved victory after victory. At every point
the enemy was forced back, Flanders was evacuated, a wedge was driven
into the Boche line at Sedan, and along the whole line from Ostend to
Switzerland the German position was so desperate that the Kaiser, faced
with disaster in the field and naval mutiny and revolution at home,
asked for an Armistice on October 6th.

Austria sued for peace on October 20th and surrendered to the Allies on
November 3rd, while Turkey, having been granted an armistice on October
30th, threw down her arms subsequently. Following the proclamation
of Bavaria as a Republic, and the renunciation of his throne by the
Duke of Brunswick, and the suspension of payment by the Berlin banks,
the Kaiser sued for peace. On November 9th he and the Crown Prince
abdicated and the armistice terms of the Allies were accepted by the
Germans two days later.


BRITISH TROOPS IN OTHER THEATRES.

Apart from the operations on the Western Front British troops
figured in many historic battles in other theatres of war. In the
ill-fated expedition to Gallipoli the soldiers of the Empire showed
an undaunted spirit and came near achieving what was regarded by many
as an impossible task. Much the same spirit under even more trying
circumstances was displayed in Mesopotamia and other parts of the
Far East, as is evidenced by the recapture of Kut and the taking of
Baghdad. German influence in far waters was destroyed by the seizure of
German New Guinea and Samoa; while a great blow to German colonization
schemes was dealt by the conquest of East Africa and the Cameroons.


THE FALL OF RUSSIA.

The record of Russia during the war and since provides one of the most
tragic episodes of the great struggle. One of the first Powers to
accept the challenge, Russia accomplished much in the early days of
the war on the Eastern Front, and was of invaluable assistance to the
British and French armies by engaging the attention of large numbers
of German forces. Insidious treachery, however, brought about the
downfall of what had hitherto been regarded as a mighty empire. During
the winter of 1916-1917 the effect of this treachery began to be felt.
The civilian population had for long suffered many privations, and the
troops had been sent into battle badly armed and insufficiently fed.
Demands for representative government were ignored by the Emperor,
swayed by the pro-German Empress, who was under the influence of the
notorious monk Rasputin. In December, 1916, the monk was murdered; on
March 15th, 1917, the Emperor abdicated and was subsequently murdered;
and the Empress and her children are said to have shared a similar
fate. A new and democratic government with Kerensky at the head had a
short reign, and ultimately, in November, 1917, Russia, under Trotsky
and Lenin, who were, it is believed, in the pay of Germany, was given
over to the horrors of Bolshevism.


THE CAMPAIGN IN ITALY.

Serbia was invaded by the Austrians and Germans in October, 1915, and
the campaign was conducted by the Central Powers with characteristic
ruthlessness. Rumania fought gamely, but eventually had to yield under
the Treaty of Bucharest, and Montenegro was also quickly disposed of.
The Austrians were thus established in Northern Albania and were led
to take up an offensive in Trentino. This was begun in May, 1916,
and honours were first with one side and then with the other until
in October, 1917, with the help of the Germans, Austria forced the
Italians to retreat to the line of the Piave. British and French
troops were sent to the assistance of Italy, and the invaders were
disastrously defeated, being swept back across the Piave.

The morale of the Austrian troops, except when aided by the Germans,
was never satisfactory, and the condition of her home affairs became
worse as the war progressed. The Emperor Francis Joseph died in
November, 1916, and he was succeeded by the Emperor Karl, who was
suspected of having strong leanings in the direction of peace. The food
problem in Austria also became a very difficult one, and this, combined
with industrial and political unrest, tended to undermine the Empire’s
military efficiency until eventually the operations against Italy came
to be regarded as of secondary importance, and overtures were made for
peace.

The Allies recognised the Czeko-Slovaks as a separate nation; the
Croatians recognised themselves; and a promise was made that Bohemia
should be divided into national districts. Following unsuccessful
attempts to obtain peace through President Wilson, the Austrians
acknowledged the inevitable and asked for peace on October 27th, 1918.
Bulgaria had surrendered on September 29th.


TURKISH POWER BROKEN.

When war broke out the position of Turkey was an uncertain one, but
she eventually fell a victim to German machinations and threw in her
lot with the Kaiser. In the early days she gave shelter to the runaway
German cruisers, the Goeben and the Breslau--and later both these
vessels were used to bombard Sebastopol and Theodosia. The campaign
against Turkey was in three sections--the attack on the Dardanelles,
the expedition to Mesopotamia, and the preservation of Egypt and the
advance through Palestine. Although the Dardanelles attack was not
successful and we had a set-back at Kut, the British forces eventually
broke the Turkish power in Mesopotamia and Palestine, and on October
30th, 1918, the Turks were granted an armistice.


THE BARBARITY OF THE HUN.

One of the outstanding features of the war was the ruthlessness which
marked German methods throughout. In the invasion of Belgium and
Northern France no measure was too base to adopt in order that the
spirit of the invaded countries might be broken. Looting on the part of
officers and men was officially recognised, as also was the wholesale
destruction of property, machinery and valuable works of art.

Later, the barbarity of the Hun method was demonstrated by the
submarine campaign, in the course of which defenceless merchant and
passenger vessels, and even hospital ships were “sunk at sight” and the
survivors either shot or left to drown. German warships also bombarded
such “fortified” places as Scarborough, Whitby, Lowestoft and Margate;
while their Zeppelins, and subsequently their aeroplanes, visited
England again and again, causing many casualties--a large proportion of
them women and children--in a vain endeavour to create panic in this
country.

Other methods by which the Germans revealed their inhumanity in warfare
included the abominable treatment of prisoners of war; the deportation
of thousands of the civilian population of France and Belgium to serve
as slaves behind the German lines; and the execution of Nurse Cavell
and Capt. Fryatt.


THE BRITISH NAVY’S GREAT WORK.

The operations of the British Navy were undoubtedly one of the
dominating factors in the war. For more than four years the silent
service watched unceasingly and offered an effectual bar to such
naval enterprise as the Germans appeared capable of. The first naval
engagement was off the coast of Chili in November, 1914, in which the
_Good Hope_ and _Monmouth_ were sunk and Admiral Craddock lost his life.

This early disaster was retrieved on December 8th, when Admiral Sturdee
annihilated a German squadron under Admiral von Spee off the Falkland
Islands. For some time there was a good deal of activity on the part
of commerce raiders, principally by the _Emden_ and the _Appam_. On
January 24th, 1915, there was a naval battle off Dogger Bank in which
the _Blucher_ was sunk, and six months later the _Konigsberg_, a German
raider, which had taken refuge in the Rufigi River, was destroyed by
British monitors.

The most serious naval engagement of the war took place off Jutland on
May 31st, 1916. This proved to be the last attempt of the Germans to
defy British sea-power. The enemy lost eighteen ships, and the British
losses were by no means light, but the flight of the enemy fleet
to the shelter of their mine fields left no doubt as to the issue.
Probably the country will never know the extent of the navy’s work in
maintaining the blockade, safeguarding our food supply from all parts
of the world, and securing safe passage, not only for our own troops,
but also for thousands of American soldiers.

Perhaps the most daring enterprise of the war from a naval standpoint
was the raid on Ostend on April 22nd, 1918, which resulted in the
destruction of the enemy’s submarine depots. The last act in the naval
drama was the handing over of the German Fleet to Admiral Beatty, as
part of the Armistice conditions, and the subsequent scuttling of it by
the German crews while it was riding at anchor in Scapa Flow.


THE SIGNING OF PEACE.

The peace treaty was signed on Saturday, June 28th, in the Galerie des
Glaces, Versailles, by the German delegates and representatives of all
the Allied Powers except China. The German delegates, in a statement to
the Press, declared they had signed the Treaty without any reservations
and in the honest intention of carrying out its provisions to the best
of their ability. They hoped, however, that some of its provisions
would in time be modified.

The signing was received with great rejoicing throughout Britain, a
notable demonstration being made outside Buckingham Palace, where the
King, the Queen, their three sons and Princess Mary appeared on the
balcony and were enthusiastically greeted.

The Chinese refusal to sign was due to the fact that the Council of
Four could not see their way to reserve the question of Shantung for
future consideration instead of its being settled as provided for in
the Treaty.

The scene in the historic chamber was remarkable for the absence
of pomp or martial show. M. Clemenceau presided over the formal
proceedings, and with him were the French delegation, MM. Pichon,
Klotz, Tardieu and Cambon; President Wilson and the American
representatives, Mr. Lansing, Col. House and General Bliss; the
British delegation consisting of Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. Bonar Law, Mr.
A. J. Balfour, Lord Milner and Mr. G. N. Barnes; with the following
representatives of the Empire: Canada--Sir George Foster, Mr. Doherty
and Mr. Sefton; Australia--Mr. Hughes and Sir Joseph Cook; New
Zealand--Mr. Massey; South Africa--General Botha and General Smuts.

Subsequent to the signing the King issued a formal message in which he
stated that he shared the people’s joy and prayed that the years of
peace might bring to them ever-increasing happiness and prosperity.

CRAVEN IN FLANDERS.

WAR RECORD OF THE ⅙TH BATTALION DUKE OF WELLINGTONS (WEST RIDING)
REGIMENT.


In these few pages it is only possible to give in the barest outline
the story of the part played by the Craven Territorials in the great
war of 1914-1919. Time must necessarily elapse before any definitive
history can be written, when events can be critically studied and full
credit be given to all. The present sketch aims simply at recording
how men of Skipton and Keighley, of Settle and Bingley, of Haworth,
Guiseley and Barnoldswick, from the dales of Ribble, Aire and Wharfe,
from the moors of Sedbergh and from the Forest of Bowland, left their
peaceful avocations and went to war at their country’s call, as their
fore-fathers had done before them. It will tell how their previous
military training enabled them to go overseas and bar the road to the
Channel while Britain was yet gathering her latent strength; of how
they faced the Salient in its darkest hour, and of the parts they
played in the great battle of the Somme, in the fighting among the
sand-swept dunes of Nieuport, and in the grim tragedy of Passchendaele;
and finally how, after foiling the last German onslaught in a quick
series of desperate encounters, they took their full share in the
swift, relentless attacks that ushered in the crowning victory.

No space can be given to the full list of honours won; they are already
written in the official records. And when, here and there, a few names
necessarily come into the story, it must be remembered that to every
name mentioned a dozen more could easily be added of men who deserved
equally well of their country.


FROM PEACE TO WAR.

On July 26th, 1914, the 6th Bn. Duke of Wellington’s Regt. went into
camp near the little village of Marske for its annual training, and it
was amid the peaceful moorlands of the Yorkshire coast that it heard
the first rumblings of the storm to come. When the camp was suddenly
broken up and the companies returned home on the fateful first Monday
of August, there was a general feeling of tense expectation. They had
not long to wait. At 6 p.m. the following day (Tuesday, August 4th),
the orders for mobilization were issued from Skipton Drill Hall, and
the Skipton men at once began to stream in. The outlying companies
arrived during the night, and at noon next day the complete battalion,
with a heterogeneous transport commandeered from willing neighbours,
entrained for Immingham Dock under the command of Lieut.-Col. John
Birkbeck, of Settle. The rapidity with which the change from peace
to war conditions was effected is abundant testimony to the keenness
of all ranks and to the practical character of the Territorial
organization; but the chief credit of the successful move must be
given to the sleepless labours of the three South African veterans,
Capt. Sidney Marriner (Adjutant), Lieut. John Churchman, D.C.M.
(Quartermaster), and Regimental Sergt.-Major Buckley.


COAST DEFENCE AND TRAINING.

Of Immingham, the Battalion has only confused memories of concrete
floors as sleeping places, of endless tours of sentry-go, of its first
experience of strict army rations, and of countless rumours to which
unnecessary credence was given, since the troops had not yet learnt the
tainted source from which such stories rise. Early one morning there
was a particularly strong report of a great battle in the North Sea,
and an officer asked a recruit just coming off duty if he had heard
any firing in the night. “I’m very sorry, sir, it was me!” was the
unexpected reply: “I let it off by accident.”

After about a week the battalion moved into billets at the pleasant
and hospitable village of Healing, near Grimsby. Here they spent a
happy and healthy month, and on Sept. 15th moved into camp in Riby
Park, about four miles further inland. The weather was glorious and
the physique of the battalion improved out of all knowledge. Faces and
arms turned brown, packs and equipment felt lighter, and the marches
over the Lincolnshire downs insensibly grew longer. During all this
time both officers and men had been continually welcoming friends
among the new recruits who came to take the places of those unfit for
active service, under age, or whose circumstances prevented them from
volunteering for work overseas. And when a cold wet spell at the end of
October brought on a welcome move from tents into the warmer shelter of
schools and other billets in Doncaster, it was a strong battalion of
fit men, ready to go anywhere, that marched to the station.

At Doncaster the battalion settled down for the winter and made a vast
number of firm friendships among the inhabitants, who had viewed the
arrival of troops with some apprehension. The Christmas dinner, served
in all the company billets, was a huge success, though there were
already many who were sore that they were not yet in the trenches and
feared that the war would be finished without them!

All this time progressive training had gone on. At Healing the
battalion was alone in the village, and battalion and company drill
were the usual order of the day. Riby was a Brigade camp, and the
presence of the 4th, 5th and 7th Duke of Wellington’s and a battery of
Artillery gave an added rivalry to the quest of military efficiency
and to endurance in long marches. The harvest was now in and field
manœuvres became possible, and the battalion received its initiation
in trench digging. There was a good deal of musketry instruction
and a little firing on an indifferent range. The signallers under
Lieut. A. Slingsby and the machine-gunners under Lieut. B. R. Brewin
improved enormously along their special lines; while the cyclists under
2nd Lieut. “Pedaller” Palmer tested their wind and muscles up the
gradients of Swallow Downs. The Brigade was inspected at Brocklesby by
Major-General Plumer, who was, in a few months’ time, to welcome them
to his own particular salient of Ypres.

At Doncaster musketry practice was more seriously undertaken and,
when the Cantley ranges overflowed, parties proceeded to all parts
of Yorkshire. The field days, under the eye of Major-Gen. Baldock,
commanding the Division, with an added force of Artillery, Royal
Engineers and Divisional Cavalry, were on a larger scale, and the
continual battles of Marr and Rossington Bridge taught officers to
handle men, men to acquire something of an eye for country, and
outposts to keep alert with eye and ear--particularly necessary if
Lieut. Anthony Slingsby and his Scouts were on the opposing side. And
if the night operations caused an annoying interference with more
romantic engagements, they taught lessons in finding the way at night
that proved valuable later on.

In the later stages trenches were dug, and one battalion relieved
another in their occupation by night; billeting schemes were carried
out in the surrounding villages, and the constant alarms of raids or
invasion, which on one occasion brought the brigade scurrying back to
billets from a field day, lent a feeling of reality to the training.
About the same time the Machine Gun Section acquired for a few weeks an
armoured motor-car of enormous dimensions, with which, after spreading
terror and confusion among the children of the neighbourhood, they
proceeded to patrol the East Coast from the Humber to Flamborough
Head, to reassure the inhabitants who had been startled by the raid
on Scarborough. As a fighting machine the vehicle might be open to
criticism, but it possessed two Vickers guns and thus enabled the
section to familiarize themselves with these weapons. It was a lucky
chance, for they next met this gun when a number were dumped upon them,
without further instruction, in the unspeakable trenches of Ypres,
to make of them what use they could. The machine was finally handed
over to a battalion of desolate cyclists, who, in their overflowing
gratitude, addressed the second-lieutenant in charge as “Major” and
took the whole outfit off his thankful hands without a murmur.

In December, 1914, the battalion had been reorganized upon a
four-company, instead of the old eight-company system. The two Skipton
companies (A and B) became A company: the two Keighley companies (D
and E) became D company: Guiseley and Settle (C and F) united to form
the new C company, and Bingley and Haworth (G and H) became B company.
About the same time the cyclists left the battalion to form part of the
new divisional cycling company. The battalion had got nicely settled
into its new dispositions when in April it received the long deferred
order to go overseas.


IN THE FRONT LINE.

The first portion of the battalion, consisting of the Transport and
Machine Gun section, left Doncaster on the night of April 12th, 1915,
and crossed from Southampton to Havre on the night of 13/14th April.
The remainder of the battalion crossed by a more direct route to
Boulogne on the following day, and after a long and weary march joined
the same train at Hesdigneul on the 15th. The re-united battalion
travelled on by the sleepy little branch line through Lumbres to St.
Omer and then forward to Merville where they detrained at 11-30 p.m.
After unloading horses, mules and waggons, the whole battalion set off
on a three-mile march to Neuf Berquin. What with the darkness and the
unfamiliar language, the task of billeting was no easy one, but all the
men were got under shelter before dawn and enjoyed a well-earned repose
in their first French billets.

The names of the officers who went overseas with the battalion, noting
the casualties which occurred among them, may be given here as some
indication of the severe fighting through which the battalion passed.
Many of the officers given as wounded were hit more than once: and the
casualties among the other ranks were in much the same proportion:--

Lieut.-Col. J. Birkbeck, of Settle, commanding officer; Major C.
P. Cass, of Keighley, second in command; Adjutant, Capt. S. F.
Marriner. Company commanders--Major C. M. Bateman (wounded) (A),
Capt. A. B. Clarkson (wounded) (B) Capt. N. B. Chaffers (C) and
Capt. T. K. Wright (D), with Capt. H. Dixon, Capt. C. H. Sarsby
(wounded), Capt. E. G. Whittaker and Capt. K. Nicholson as their
respective seconds-in-command. The platoon officers were Lieuts.
M. Law (killed), Supple (killed), H. Knowles (killed), C. H. Petty
(wounded), C. Horsfall (killed), 2nd Lieuts. F. L. Smith (wounded),
K. Ogston (killed), V. W. Greaves, T. S. Whitaker (killed), L. Jaques
(wounded), N. Geldard (wounded), R. C. Barrett, T. Brayshaw (wounded)
and Stuck (wounded). The quarter-master was Lieut. J. Churchman, D.C.M;
Signalling officer, Lieut. A. Slingsby (killed); Transport officer,
Lieut. S. H. Clough (wounded); Machine Gun officer, 2nd Lieut. R. M.
Robinson, and Medical Officer, Lieut. A. C. Haddow (wounded).

2nd Lieut. G. Buxton (wounded) and 2nd Lieut. Coulthurst (killed), who
were on the sick list at the time, followed the battalion a few weeks
later, and Capt. M. Wright, who was left behind to organize a nucleus
company to provide reinforcements, himself came out with a draft during
the early autumn.

Major General Baldock was in command of the Division and Brig.-General
E. F. Brereton of the brigade.

Arrived at Neuf Berquin the 6th Duke’s was not allowed to remain idle.
After three days’ rest the battalion was taken up by detachments for
trial trips to the trenches and on April 26th the brigade took over
from the London Regiment a portion of the line in front of Fleurbaix.
It was at this time that the First West Riding Division became the
49th; the 2nd West Riding Brigade, consisting of the 4th, 5th, 6th and
7th Duke of Wellington’s Regiments, became the 147th Infantry Brigade,
the whole being attached to the Indian Corps in the First Army.

In after days men commonly looked back on the Fleurbaix era as a time
of peace and plenty. It is true that the weather was good and the life
not too strenuous. But the sniping was unusually severe. Few reliefs
took place without a casualty and the shelling of billets was a far
from comfortable novelty. The way the battalion settled down to work in
its new surroundings augured well for the future.

On May 9th the men were spectators of one of those early attacks
which cost so much and gained so little. The limit of the main attack
was the right of the 6th Battalion; and if it had been successful
the battalion was also to advance and take a part. But backed by
insufficient artillery and faced by relentless machine gun fire, the
attack failed to reach the foot of the Aubers Ridge, and the battalion
was ordered to stand fast in its trenches. It was a day of tense
anxiety and the battalion was lucky to have so few casualties. The
signallers especially distinguished themselves, mending the lines back
to the brigade as soon as they were cut by shellfire; and few will
forget the picture of Lieut. Anthony Slingsby striding upright across
the open, while he sternly commanded some diminutive signaller beside
him to “keep his head down.”

Quieter days followed, and on June 26th the brigade left those
trenches for the last time, handing them over to their gallant
fellow-territorials of the 51st Division. The battalion was no longer
raw: it had seen its dead. One officer (Lieut. Knowles) had been killed
in a bombing accident, and two (Lieut. Petty and Capt. Sarsby) had been
severely wounded. About twenty other ranks were among the casualties.
And the old grey walls of the ruined abbey, with its little fishpond
and the stately remnants of its tower, will always be remembered by
those who helped to defend it.


THE YPRES SALIENT IN 1915.

On leaving Fleurbaix the 147th Brigade moved north by rapid marches,
and soon the whole Division found itself in the Second Army under
Major-General Plumer. The last march, from the neighbourhood of Meteren
to St. Jans-ter-biezen Wood, was particularly severe for troops that
had just come out of trenches. It was a good fifteen-miles tramp
over rough and hilly roads: it was undertaken at night when most men
had been on their legs all day, and everyone had to carry all his
belongings on his back. When the battalion finally halted in its
allotted position in the wood, the men had no difficulty in sleeping
where they lay.

Here the battalion bivouacked for a week and underwent inspection by
various generals, renewing their acquaintance with the Army commander.
On July 7th they moved forward and for the first time entered the
never-to-be-forgotten salient of Ypres.

Northward from Ypres runs the Yser canal, and in insecure shelters
scratched into the embankments the support battalions had their home.
The bridges crossing the canal were enfiladed by the enemy’s machine
guns and were constantly destroyed by shell fire: and the rain of
shrapnel whistling through the distorted trees caused men moving up
either bank to dodge like rabbits from shelter to shelter. But this
was a haven of rest compared to the front line. In front of the canal
was sheer desolation, with ridges sloping upwards towards the enemy.
Wet weather turned the whole country into a quagmire and many were
drowned in the mud. Across this waste stretched the trenches, formed of
sandbagged breastworks, with arms and legs of dead Frenchmen projecting
from them at intervals. The enemy was too close for rebuilding. The
line was curiously irregular, as one side or the other had bitten off a
piece of the opposing defences, and at more than one place our men were
only fifteen yards from the enemy. In some parts the bombing was worst,
in others the trench mortars, and in others again the shells: but
none were healthy and all smelt abominably. As for retaliation, a few
rounds of shrapnel were all the ammunition our artillery could spare in
those early days. No regular division had stopped in the line for more
than six weeks, even in summer, and the West Ridings looked hopefully
forward to an early move. They held that line against shelling and gas,
in deepening mud and rising water, for six long months.

The 49th Division had a stormy welcome. In the first few days the
Divisional commander, Major-General Baldock, was wounded by shrapnel
at the door of Trois Tours Chateau, and was succeeded by Major-General
Perceval; and a shell through his bedroom caused Brig.-General Brereton
to leave his cottage for safer quarters. Before the 6th Battalion had
finished its first turn in the line it had grievous losses to deplore.
Among them the gallant Lieut. Slingsby had been killed by a sniper;
Lieut. Supple mortally wounded by a shell, and 2nd Lieuts. Jaques and
Brayshaw severely wounded. It was then, too, that Pte. Bracewell,
a stretcher bearer, himself wounded, won the first D.C.M. for the
battalion.

As the autumn wore on and worse conditions supervened, the battalion
still stuck to its work, making its regular trips to the front line
and always leaving behind some of the best of comrades. At the end
of October, Lieut.-Col. Birkbeck, who had already suffered from
rheumatism, was invalided home. Of the battalion commanders who had
come out with the Brigade he was the last remaining, and there was
general regret that he had not had the chance of leading the battalion
in open warfare in which he had trained them and for which his
experience of African campaigns had peculiarly adapted him. “Honest
John” the men called him, and they were all sorry to lose one who had
always given them fair play. Major Bateman had already been wounded and
Lieut.-Col. J. Adlercron, of the Cameron Highlanders, took over the
command.

The men took a little time to understand their new commander and he
probably thought them a queer lot. But his wide military knowledge,
his boundless energy, and, above all, his absolute fearlessness, soon
won their admiration and respect and established a satisfactory mutual
understanding that lasted throughout his command. It has been said of
some leaders that they never sent their men where they would not go
themselves; if Col. Adlercron sent men to a particularly nasty post he
would commonly go twenty yards further himself and inspect the enemy’s
wire in front of them.

Conditions grew steadily worse. “Trench foot” made its appearance among
the troops, and though many precautions were taken there was much
painful suffering. The mud difficulty and the fall of the leaves made
the work of the Transport increasingly arduous, and Lieut. Churchman’s
stores at Hospital Farm became a favourite target for shells from
either side of the salient. The death of Lieut. T. S. Whitaker, always
most cheery when times were worst, was a serious loss to C company. But
through it all the spirits of the battalion never flagged. Sergt. Bury,
with a few fellow bombers, was holding a peculiarly noisome forward
post within bombing range of the enemy when he received word that he
was to go on leave. He protested indignantly. “Who’s to look after my
sap?” he cried. And it was only when Lieut. F. L. Smith promised to
give the sap his own special attention that the sergeant, with some
misgiving, consented to return for five days to civilization. And a
like feeling animated all.

At this time the ⅙th Duke’s had the French as their next-door
neighbours, and at the bridge over the Yperlys stream, where the two
Armies met, an international post was established, consisting of an
officer and a few men from each army, specially selected for their
knowledge of their allies’ language.


THE GREAT GAS ATTACK.

On December 19th, in the darkness of the early winter’s morning, the
Germans made another desperate attempt upon the line after discharging
the deadly phosgene gas from cylinders. It was the strongest
concentration of gas sent over by the enemy during the war: the ground
over which the cloud passed was covered with powdered crystals like
hoar frost, and Canadians on parade at Bailleul, twelve miles back,
felt the effects. The 4th Duke of Wellington’s was in the front line,
the 6th had B company and the machine gunners on the Canal Bank and the
remainder in ruined farms a short distance behind. At 6-30 a.m. the
battalion received orders to move forward through the clouds of gas to
support the 4th. All reached their positions in perfect order and the
men of the 4th were astonished at the speed with which the much-needed
succour had reached them. The Germans, though they inflicted heavy
losses on the 147th Brigade, reaped no tactical advantage from the
outrage. The 6th had many casualties both from gas and shelling. The
machine gunners, worn out by a particularly arduous time in the line,
suffered very heavily, and among the eight who succumbed to gas was
that excellent soldier Lance-Cpl. J. W. Willan, of Skipton, who had
refused a commission elsewhere to serve in the ranks of the 6th.

The battalion, sadly reduced in numbers, had a last turn in the line
and lost 2nd Lieut. T. Carson, mortally wounded on patrol, and Lieut.
Malcolm Law, an admirable bombing officer, who was killed in the act of
handing over to the incoming division.

Getting clear of the line by dawn on the last day of the year, the
battalion, now little more than 200 strong, travelled by motor-bus to
the neighbourhood of Herzeele and Wormhoudt for a month’s rest and
reorganization. The Machine Gun Corps had recently been formed as a
separate arm of the service, and the machine gunners under Sergts.
J. Watson and F. Stork, who had both done sterling work for the
battalion, were transferred to the brigade company under the new corps.
At the beginning of February, 1916, the battalion moved by train to
the neighbourhood of Amiens. It was a welcome change and the clean
fields and green hills were a grateful sight to Craven eyes after
the shellmarked flatness of the Salient. Though the Division was by
no means up to strength it had temporarily to take over the line at
Authuille, north of Albert, during a snowy spell at the end of the
month. The share of the 6th Battalion was limited to two or three
unpleasant days. Water up to the knees was no novelty, but the men have
vivid recollections of some lively trench-mortaring, and of the droves
of enormous rats that scampered over the snow at night like flocks of
sheep.


THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME.

The great attack on the Somme had already been planned, and the 6th
Duke’s were engaged for some months in digging assembly trenches,
laying railway tracks, carrying material to the line, and generally
assisting in the many preparations that had now become recognised as
necessary to a successful offensive. They were quartered at different
times in most of the villages from Toutencourt to the river Ancre, and
in April and May went farther back to the pleasant village of Naours
lying in a beautiful valley north of Amiens. Here vigorous training
was carried on for the coming offensive, and replicas of the famous
Thiepval defences were constructed and successfully attacked.

Conditions were now growing better. Expeditionary Force Canteens had
come into being; Y.M.C.A. huts at times were encountered; organized
entertainments were given. The general standard of living was much
improved and wire beds were occasionally found in billets. The old days
of scarceness had passed, and “rest areas” had become more worthy of
the name and were visited with greater regularity.

But before the battle opened another change came in the command of
the battalion. Lieut.-Col. Adlercron, D.S.O., received well-deserved
promotion to the command of the 148th Brigade (in the same division),
and Major C. M. Bateman, D.S.O., was appointed Lieut.-Colonel in his
place. No more popular choice could have been made. Colonel Bateman
had commanded the headquarters detachment of the Craven territorials
for many years before the war and had already won golden opinions in
France both as company commander and as second-in-command. Always cool
in danger, and naturally endowed with a fine military judgment, he had
a special asset in his intimate knowledge of his men, who would have
followed him anywhere.

The great battle of the Somme, which was to last into November, opened
at 7-30 a.m. on July 1st, 1916. On this day the 49th acted as reserve
to two other Divisions in the 10th Corps, ready to exploit any success
that might be won. The roar of the bombardment had been heard for some
days and shells were singing overhead on the evening of June 30th as
the 6th Battalion moved up from Warloy into the assembly trenches it
had previously dug in Aveluy Wood. At 7-25 a.m. the trenches rocked as
the mammoth mine went up at Beaumont Hamel. The roar of the heavies
ceased for a moment, giving place to the rattle of machine guns as the
British went over the top, to be succeeded by a terrific drumfire from
the 18-pounders and French 75’s whose shells came swishing over the
tree-tops.

Though the attack had been a success to the south, it made little
headway against the powerful fortresses of Thiepval and Beaumont Hamel.
The battalion crossed the river without loss and spent the night in
the Crucifix dug-outs near Aveluy village. Next afternoon it received
hurried orders to move to Thiepval Wood, prepared to attack at dawn
next morning. It was an unpleasant march up the river valley, for this
provided the only cover behind the line and the enemy’s artillery were
giving it particular attention. At the North Bluff, Capt. Haddow, the
popular medical officer, was wounded by a shell with some of D company,
and Cpl. E. Briggs was killed while bringing up machine gun ammunition.
In Thiepval Wood, reached in the darkness, there was little shelter
and the battalion spent the night under heavy shelling and machine gun
fire. What had been in the evening luxuriant woodland was found in the
morning to resemble a group of clothes props. The attack, however, was
postponed, and the battalion returned for a night of thunderstorms
into Aveluy Wood. Next day it moved forward again and took over the
line immediately facing Thiepval with headquarters at Johnson’s Post.
Here the Brigade remained for forty-eight days, never moving further
back than the support positions, some 800 yards from the German line.
The trenches had been practically obliterated and had to be re-dug in
close proximity to the enemy; there were many bodies to bury during
the short hours of darkness, and rations and water were brought up
with difficulty. In the first twenty-four hours the battalion, without
making any attack, suffered over sixty casualties, and losses continued
daily. At times the battalion had to make “Chinese attacks,” feints to
hold the reserves opposite in their positions while other divisions
were attacking to the south, and also threw out smoke bombs to obscure
from the view of the Germans in Thiepval the flanking movement against
them. This always drew a heavy bombardment. Meanwhile a good line was
dug, and saps were pushed forward ever nearer to the doomed fortress.

At last towards the end of August the battalion moved out to
Lealvillers for a week’s rest. Here Captain N. B. Chaffers, M.C., who
had been adjutant since December, 1915, when Capt. Marriner had been
promoted to a staff appointment, left the battalion to become second in
command of the 3rd Worcesters. He was succeeded by Capt. F. L. Smith,
M.C., who had won a great reputation as a company commander. Lieut.
Robinson, whose notes on Lewis gun tactics, originally written for the
6th Battalion, had been adopted for use throughout the British Army,
was ordered to G.H.Q., where he spent more than a year working at the
organization of Lewis gun training before returning to the battalion.

In less than a week the battalion was back in the Thiepval area, but it
did not take any active part in the attack on Sept. 3rd, in which the
49th Division was engaged. The 6th was in support, and suffered losses
from shell-fire; Lieut. Gill was killed, Lieut. Jaques badly wounded,
and a dug-out occupied by A company was knocked in. The 147th Brigade
managed after heavy losses to capture most of their first objective,
but their neighbours on either side made no headway and the attack was
abandoned before the 6th was drawn in.

After ten days’ rest the battalion again returned near Thiepval, but
this time it faced the village from the ridge to the south, instead of
looking up at it from the valley to the west. The West Ridings were
now in the old German lines in the “Leipzig salient,” which had been
penetrated on July 1st, and occupied an extremely strong system of
enemy trenches known as the “Wunderwerk” for the astonishing character
of the defences. Though much damaged by our shells, the deep dug-outs
and tunnels still remained to show how the enemy had been able to
hang on in Thiepval through all our bombardments. From these lines
the Division slowly crept forward, one battalion snatching a length
of German trench one night and another the next. The 6th had to pay
dearly for their successes. One night Capt. Cedric Horsfall was shot
while making a reconnaissance in front of the line, and his death was a
sad blow to all the battalion. As strong as a horse and a glutton for
work, he was always ready to lend a hand with pick and shovel, and on
a long march might be seen striding along carrying a couple of rifles
for two of his weaker brethren. His shrewd leadership and unfailing
kindness had endeared him to all ranks. Another gallant officer to fall
was Lieut. W. B. Naylor, who was acting as Brigade bombing officer,
and among other losses were Sergt. Marks, an excellent N.C.O., and
Private Bottomley, whose unfailing humour had lightened many dark days
for his comrades. Lieut. Clegg, who afterwards greatly distinguished
himself with the Independent Air Force that bombed the German towns,
was severely wounded.

After an attack in this sector a curious adventure occurred to that
cheerful fighter, Sergt. Cecil Rhodes. Seeing a waterproof sheet
stretched out upon the ground he stooped to pick it up, when to his
surprise an unwounded German sprang from under it and bolted. The
sergeant gave chase and soon had his man a prisoner.

The battalion was beginning to penetrate the inner defences of Thiepval
when it was relieved by the 18th Division, who, with the assistance of
tanks, finished off the task.

During September the battalion was sorry to lose its very popular
Brigadier, Brig.-General E. F. Brereton, C.B., D.S.O., who had
commanded them since the days of peace. When he returned home,
Brig.-General L. G. Lewes, D.S.O., of the Essex Regt., took his place.

On leaving Thiepval the battalion at once marched northwards and
took over the line near Fonquevillers, facing the German stronghold
of Gommecourt, and for the remainder of the winter kept moving on
from one bad line of trenches to another, working hard to drain and
improve them for the benefit of their successors. At Fonquevillers
the trench-mortaring was very heavy, and four N.C.O.’s in D Coy. were
killed one night by a single shell. Here too 2nd Lieut. Wilson was
mortally wounded by a chance bullet.

Shortly before Christmas the 6th moved out to rest at the little
villages of Halloy and Grenas, near Doullens, and though the billets
were not of the best the Duke’s were able to eat a good Christmas
dinner without interruption from the enemy.

Early in the New Year, still moving slowly northwards towards Arras,
the battalion went into a new line near Berles-au-Bois and then at last
found some really good trenches in the solid chalk of Wailly. During
this winter the game of “winkling” had come into vogue. The line on
both sides was commonly held by detached posts, and small parties of
resolute men would stalk one of these, surprise the sentry and then
pick prisoners out of the dug-out behind him as one picks winkles out
of shells. The 6th were never “winkled,” though they had to keep very
alert, but at Wailly a small party of D Coy., headed by Sergt. Bury,
D.C.M., took a hand in the game with great success. Raiding an enemy
sap they inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. Pte. Scott, of Keighley,
had the misfortune to lose his way when the signal was given to return
and was captured. After being severely cross-questioned, about an hour
later he took advantage of a moment’s inattention on the part of his
captors and escaped back to his own lines with some useful information
about the enemy’s dispositions. A raid on a grand scale was then
planned and practised, but the battalion was again moved on before it
could be brought off.


FROM NEUVE CHAPELLE TO NIEUPORT.

The next move was to a different area. The ⅙th (as it must now be
called) was packed on to the railway at Doullens and, after a lapse of
two eventful years, once again detrained at Merville, which it found in
deep snow. The following day it moved into trenches at Neuve Chapelle.
The historic redoubt of “Port Arthur,” so hotly contested in 1915, was
in the battalion sector, and the famous La Bassée road ran through
it. The Duke’s had an enormous stretch of line to look after and held
it lightly in the outpost system; but, except for the trench mortars,
which the enemy possessed in great numbers, their stay here was not an
unpleasant one and they remained in the line for nearly three months.

At the end of March a raid was carried out by the battalion. The
operation was carefully practised and on the night of March 28-29 the
raiding party set off under the command of Capt. S. H. Clough, who was
the first man to enter the enemy’s lines and the last to leave them.
Strong opposition was encountered and no prisoners could be taken, but
all ranks behaved with great gallantry. Capt. Clough and Lieut. J. W.
Denison (afterwards killed while serving with the 9th Batt.) were both
wounded; and 2nd Lieut. Butler and Pte. Pickup, D.C.M., were killed in
the operation.

Two interesting events occurred during the stay at Neuve Chapelle.
One was a visit from a special company of Royal Engineers, armed with
a number of the new gas projectors, which discharged many large gas
shells simultaneously into the enemy’s lines. To the great delight of
the men, who remembered their own experiences at Ypres, from 200 to 300
of these shells were concentrated upon one sector of the enemy’s line
and caused serious losses to the Germans. The other was the arrival of
the 1st Portuguese Division which first came into the line in small
parties to learn the art of war from the 49th, and finally, towards the
end of May, took over the line from them.

After their long spell of trench work the battalion thoroughly enjoyed
a fortnight’s rest at the aptly named village of Paradis. The quarters
were excellent, and it was here that an officer of the battalion made
his name famous throughout the B. E. F. by discovering a particular
variety of billet. Brigade sports and a horse show were organized, in
which the battalion more than held its own. In the latter it swept
the board in the heavy draught section: and in the former it won the
tug-of-war, and, largely thanks to the fine running of Pte. Carter,
also did well in the field events. From Paradis the men could clearly
hear the terrific shelling of the battle of Messines, when the new
“creeping barrage,” employed thereafter with such great success, was
first brought to perfection by our artillery.

The 147th Brigade was next lent for a fortnight to the 6th Division,
old friends of the Salient days, to take the place of a brigade
required elsewhere. The ⅙th Duke’s took over a sector opposite the
famous quarries of Hulluch, towards the northern end of the battlefield
of Loos. The defences occupied were of a remarkable character, for vast
underground tunnels, large enough to take a battalion, stretched all
along the line. In these secure quarters, fitted with electric light
and other conveniences, the bulk of the troops passed the day. But
on the surface the sniping was keen and the trench mortars, hidden in
deep emplacements, were exceptionally active. 2nd Lieut. Darragh, a
most intrepid officer who had lost two brothers earlier in the year,
was wounded and died a few days later; and Sergt. Bell, of Haworth,
was killed, again one of three gallant brothers who lost their lives
for their country. In this sector, too, the battalion was called upon
to assist an extensive raid carried out by the battalion on their
right. A magnificent smoke screen was put up to hide the preliminary
preparations from the enemy in Hulluch, while a plucky party under 2nd
Lieut. J. S. Spencer created a spectacular diversion by exploding a
Bangalore torpedo right under the German wire.

From Hulluch the ⅙th Battalion moved at once into quite a new type of
country, for in the middle of July the Craven men found themselves
encamped on the sandy dunes east of Dunkirk on the Channel Coast.
Originally sent north to take part in a contemplated attack, they found
on arrival that the situation had entirely changed. The Germans had
clearly got wind of the affair, and, concentrating much heavy artillery
and an unexpected division of sailors, had broken through the British
lines, reaching the banks of the Yser from its mouth nearly to Nieuport
and seriously threatening the important crossings about that town. To
the 49th Division once again fell the rôle of Salvation Army and they
threw themselves vigorously into their work, relieving the battered
troops in front, straightening out the line and remaking the defences.
The sector taken over by the ⅙th Duke’s was the ruined village of
Lombaertzyde, immediately in front of Nieuport. Of trench system in the
ordinary sense of the term they found none, and sheltered solely by
hollows in the shifting sand they had to face continual bombardment.
Here the ⅙th first made the acquaintance of shells filled with mustard
gas, which caused most painful blisters to many of the men. To reach
the front line was a matter of great danger and difficulty. The direct
route, through the town of Nieuport, was always heavily shelled, and
the three bridges across the river Yser were continually knocked in.
Apart from the shelling these bridges were something of an obstacle.
Formed of wooden frames filled with cork and lashed together they
sagged greatly at low tide and the roadway stood at an alarming angle
to the bank. Many gallant deeds were performed by the 49th Division
during their stay, but none was more dashing and dangerous than the
raid carried out by the ⅙th Duke’s on a pitch dark August night. Since
the German attack no prisoners had been taken, and the higher command
was anxious to know what forces the enemy had in the line against us.
In this object the raid was a complete success. Led by that amiable
desperado, Capt. Godfrey Buxton, a strong party of D company entered
the enemy’s trenches. When the alarm was given the Germans laid down
a terrific barrage on our lines and the ground in front, and there
was general anxiety as to the safety of the raiders. Their return
shortly after with five prisoners and a machine gun aroused great
enthusiasm. In this raid Capt. Buxton, Corporal Driver and Private
Bibby particularly distinguished themselves.

On August 17th the battalion was withdrawn for a very welcome month’s
rest at Coxyde Bains and La Panne, two watering-places much favoured
by wealthy Belgians in time of peace. At Coxyde Bains the men were
quartered in empty villas and thoroughly enjoyed the experience; and
the sea bathing was much appreciated, in spite of numerous casualties
from small stinging jelly fish. The enormous shells of “Big Bertha,”
the German long range gun, used to hum past on their way to Dunkirk,
and their bombing planes sailed overhead most nights, but neither
interfered seriously with the seaside holiday.

Here the Battalion lost the very valuable services of Regt.
Sergt.-Major O. Buckley, M.C., who received a commission as
quarter-master of the ⅐th Duke’s. He was succeeded by Coy. Sergt.-Major
T. Richardson, D.C.M., who had come out as a sergt. with the battalion.


PASSCHENDAELE.

Leaving La Panne on Sept. 23rd, 1917, the battalion spent the next
ten days in a most enjoyable march. Trekking by easy stages through
rich agricultural country in perfect harvest weather, the men usually
found good billets and good fare. St. Omer was passed on the 30th and
on Oct. 3rd the battalion found itself once more near Poperinghe on
the threshold of the Salient. The following day the battalion set off
for the line and had a long and trying march. Moving from Poperinghe
to Vlamertinghe in the morning, later in the day they again pushed
on across the Canal and bivouacked at what had once been Spree farm,
where the road came to an end in swamps that could only be crossed on
duckboards. Next day they took over the line north of Zonnebeke from
the New Zealanders.

The advance associated with the name of Passchendaele had been begun
most successfully in July and August, when British troops under
Major-General Rawlinson, with Belgians on their left, had attacked from
the old trenches by the Yser canal and gained possession of the lower
spurs in front of them. To complete the mastery of the topmost ridge
the attack was continued through the autumn, when rain had turned the
whole country into swamp. How far this perseverance and the enormous
loss of life it entailed were justified by the military exigencies
it must be left to later historians to decide, but certainly the
conditions of the front line were not fully realised by commanders
behind.

The high ground that separates Ypres from the main plain of Belgium
resembles an enormous sponge. Even in hot summer weather bogs and ponds
are found upon its summit, while numerous swampy streamlets wander
down its sides. In October many stretches were impassable except by
wooden tracks laid on brushwood which were only constructed with the
greatest danger and difficulty. Bombarded for three and a half long
years, over all this huge area the shell-craters nearly touched each
other. Whole villages were entirely wiped out; of fine chateaux not a
trace remained; roads were completely obliterated; and wide woodlands
were only marked by misshapen stumps two or three feet high. With the
enemy on higher ground, all preparations and movements of troops for an
attack had to be made in the darkness, and a single false step off the
prepared track meant loss of life or guns or rations.

Right in the centre of this desolation the ⅙th held the line for six
days, soaked with rain, standing in water and suffering all kinds of
discomfort, yet only two men went sick. A great attack had been planned
for October 9th in which the ⅙th Batt. was to support the 146th (West
Yorks.) Brigade. Late in the night a battery commander arrived at the
battalion headquarters dead beat. Moving at all possible speed he
had only just reached his position and half his guns had been bogged
on the way; and many infantry battalions, picking their way through
bottomless swamps in the dark, were quite unable to reach their
jumping-off lines at the allotted time. Under such circumstances a
sweeping success was impossible; many gallant deeds were done, a few
pill-boxes were taken, and a party under Captain Buxton, M.C., seized
and held some valuable ground; but it is doubtful if the results of
the day were worth the very heavy price. The ⅙th was relieved by the
Canadians the following day, and on coming out was highly congratulated
by the Army and Corps commanders on the part it had played. Whatever
may be the military verdict on the Passchendaele battle, it is certain
that no other incident in the war tested so thoroughly the grit and
fighting qualities of the British soldier and no victories were won
in the face of greater difficulties; the ⅙th Duke of Wellington’s is
justly proud of having taken a worthy part in this struggle.

The battalion went out for a short rest in the neighbourhood of
Winnezeele and during this period Major-General E. M. Perceval, C.B.,
D.S.O., relinquished the command of the Division, which he had held for
over three years and returned home to command the 68th Division on the
East Coast. He was succeeded by Major-General N. J. G. Cameron, C.B.,
D.S.O., of the Cameron Highlanders. General Perceval had been very
popular throughout the Division, but like General Baldock before him he
was a gunner, and the infantry thought it only fair that an infantryman
had now been selected for the command.

A fortnight later the battalion returned to the very tip of the
salient. This time its line lay more to the south where the summit
ridge had already been captured: and from their trenches at Broodseinde
could look far down into the Belgian plain. The approaches again were
very difficult and the men had to lay some miles of duckboards in the
deep mud before they could be said to possess any communications at
all. Soon after going in, the battalion lost a very promising young
officer in 2nd Lieut. Rupert Atkinson, of Settle.

Christmas was spent in these desolate surroundings; the battalion
was in the front line on that festive day, standing in deep mud and
subsisting on such rations as had not been bogged on the long journey
from Belgian Battery Corner. On Boxing Day the battalion had to deplore
the loss of Sergeant Cecil Rhodes, M.M., who was killed by a shell.
In the very early days he had made a great reputation as a fearless
bomber; always cheerful himself, his gift of humour in the most
disheartening circumstances was a real asset to the battalion, and he
had won the lasting affection of both officers and men.


THE LAST YEAR.

Relieved early in January by the 66th Division, the battalion was
employed for nearly a month in constructing a reserve line on Westhock
Ridge, a couple of miles in front of Ypres; but in January moved
back to billets in Hondeghem, near Hazebrouck. Here, in February,
the battalion had its Christmas dinner. There was one large room
in the village and there each company in turn was regaled on beef
and Yorkshire pudding, pork, cold ham, Christmas pudding and other
seasonable fare. About a fortnight was spent at Hondeghem, companies
going in rotation to Moulle, near St. Omer, for musketry practice.

At this time it was decided to reduce the number of battalions in an
infantry brigade from four to three throughout the British army; as
a result many battalions were disbanded and their men sent as drafts
to other units. The ⅙th Duke of Wellington’s received about a dozen
officers and 300 men from the 5th and 8th battalions of the Duke’s, and
were thus brought up to strength.

In the middle of February the battalion was back again in the
salient, taking over the Polygon Wood sector with headquarters in the
conspicuous mound known as the Butte, one of the few recognizable
landmarks in the area. The New Zealanders, whom the battalion
relieved, had worked hard at the line and bequeathed to our men quite
a respectable line of trenches and a light railway running to within
300 yards of battalion headquarters. In doing this they had suffered
heavily, and a subaltern was commanding their brigade; but the ⅙th was
very grateful for the shelter afforded, for the shelling all round
was fierce and the German artillery had got a very accurate range on
all the tracks. There was a good deal of raiding at this time and the
battalion had to repulse two attempts upon their lines; they were also
spectators of a most successful raid carried out by the 4th Duke’s at
Polderhoek.

In this neighbourhood the battalion had three tours of duty in the
front line and then moved back to Reninghelst, a village a short
distance south of the Ypres-Poperinghe main road.


STEMMING THE GERMAN ONSLAUGHT.

The Duke’s had already heard the news of the desperate German onslaught
on the Somme where much ground had been lost by the Third and Fifth
Armies, and as they marched to Reninghelst the rumbling of artillery
could be clearly heard from the direction of Armentieres, which lay
only some ten miles to the south, on the far side of the ridge running
from Mont des Cats to Kemmel Hill and dividing the plain of Ypres from
France. But no news of any offensive in that area had reached them, and
the men took off their clothes and went to bed in comfort for the first
time for several weeks.

But the battalion was not to enjoy an undisturbed night. Shortly after
midnight (April 9-10) everyone was awakened and dressed hurriedly.
Ammunition was made up to fighting scale, Lewis guns taken off the
limbers, and two days’ rations served out. By 2 a.m. the battalion was
on the road in motor buses. Crossing the ridge they descended at Trois
Rois cross roads, north of the town of Nieppe, where the whole of the
147th Brigade (¼th, ⅙th and ⅐th Duke of Wellington’s) was concentrated.
After a hasty breakfast the whole Brigade moved forward across the
open fields and took up a line in front of the town of Nieppe, facing
Armentieres and astride the main road leading from that city to St.
Omer and the Channel ports. After working some hours on defences, at 1
p.m. bullets began to enfilade the line from the south, and the brigade
fell back a short distance to an old trench line from which they could
more securely watch the threatened flank.

Only now did the battalion learn more or less what had happened. On
the morning of the 9th after a heavy bombardment the Germans had
attacked and driven back the Portuguese, who were still holding the
Neuve-Chapelle-Fleurbaix sector; following up their success they had
crossed the river Lys near Bac St. Maur and had thus turned the flank
of this valuable line of defence. When the 6th Battalion took up its
line at Nieppe, the Germans were at no great distance from their right
flank and later in the day captured Steenwerck, which was actually
behind them. So far as was known a British division still held
Armentieres but they were weak in numbers and hard pressed. The task of
the 147th Brigade was therefore twofold: (1) to check any advance of
new German forces from Armentieres; and (2) to prevent the enemy from
continuing his enveloping movement from the south and capturing the
valuable line of hills behind them.

The battalion remained in its new line all night, on the extreme
right of the Brigade. Troops kept coming back from Armentieres and
it was impossible to know whether there was any continuous line in
front. Next morning the question was answered, for the Germans were in
close touch all along our front and the trenches were subjected to a
terrific machine gun fire. A German aeroplane which came over dropping
stickbombs was successfully brought down; a few minutes later one of
our planes was also brought down close behind the 6th, but luckily the
pilot and observer escaped little hurt into the West Riding trenches.
The position of the brigade was now a difficult one for the enemy
was behind them on either flank--at Neuve Eglise to the north and at
Steenwerck to the south--and their line was assuming a horseshoe shape.
C company, on the extreme right, found Germans advancing against them
up a trench leading into their own. Lieut.-Col. Bateman, D.S.O., who
was making one of his frequent tours of inspection, at once gathered a
small party of B and C Coy. men with a few machine gunners, and himself
led a very successful little charge, accompanied by Captain Ogston,
Lieut. Baker and 2nd Lieut. Whitehead. Many Germans were killed and
one prisoner was taken. The ⅙th still stuck to their ground and barred
the main road, till at 7 p.m. the order came to retire. It was none
too soon, for the leading company had to bayonet Germans on the road
behind them, and Very lights from either side were falling in their
path. Passing through another division which was to take up the task of
defence, the battalion moved to La Creche and bivouacked.

At noon next day they were roused by shelling and at once moved out to
take up a new line a short distance in front of the town of Bailleul.
During this advance A Coy. had to drive off a party of some thirty
Germans with machine guns. In their new line they were attacked next
day from two sides; the 7th battalion facing down the Armentieres road
while the 6th faced south. C company, of the 6th, holding the angle,
bore the brunt of the attack and inflicted heavy losses on the baffled
enemy, but they suffered a serious loss in the death of the gallant
Capt. K. Ogston, who had commanded them for many months.

Early next morning (April 14th) another retirement was ordered and the
brigade fell back to a line on the outskirts of Bailleul. The Germans
continued their usual programme--a bombardment at 1-30 p.m. followed by
an attack from 3 p.m. till dark, and once again were driven off with
great loss. During this attack the British right flank was in the air,
and a party of Germans getting round it made straight for 6th Battalion
headquarters. They were soon driven off with considerable loss by
Lieut.-Col. Bateman, Lieut. A. S. Stewart and Regt. Sergeant-Major
Richardson, with the officers’ servants and orderly room staff. On this
day, too, Sergeant Whiteley, the medical sergeant, cycled to Steenmill,
a mile to the south, to fetch dressings from the transport, which had
been there the previous day. He found it occupied by Germans and had
some difficulty in escaping, leaving his bicycle in their hands.

That night the brigade was relieved by another division and, retiring
behind Bailleul, thought that their troubles were ended. But the
following day’s attack was too much for the troops in front, who
retired, and the 6th Battalion had to dig yet another line. On the
17th a fresh attack by strong forces was repulsed and in a gallant
counter-attack A company, under Major Tanner, captured three machine
guns and a few prisoners.

The following evening the brigade was relieved and retired slowly to
reorganise in Poperinghe.

After three quiet days the battalion passed a disturbed night on the
24th-25th April. Heavy shelling began about teatime, several billets
being hit, while all night long the town was bombed with gas bombs
by relays of aeroplanes. One fell right on the stores and inflicted
serious casualties, and several of the transport were killed and
wounded in stables near by. But at mid-day on the 25th, the ⅙th was
once more moving forward. Kemmel Hill, lately taken over by the French,
had been surprised in the early morning mist and captured, and upon the
new line running through Millekruise (which the 147th brigade now took
over from the battered 9th division) the safety of Ypres lay. Digging
their line under continual shell fire the battalion was not attacked
till the 29th, when the Germans made desperate efforts to break the
whole line from Dranoutre to Voormezeele. The shelling, mostly from big
guns, lasted incessantly from 3 a.m. till 4 p.m. and was the heaviest
ever experienced by the battalion. In the attack that followed, the
enemy forced their way into the lines of the 7th battalion on the left
and had to be driven out by bayonet charges; but the 6th had forward
posts commanding the valley in front and with accurate Lewis gun and
rifle fire stopped the attackers dead as they descended the lower
slopes of Kemmel Hill. The German onslaught had been stemmed, and the
⅙th Duke of Wellington’s, relieved by the 39th French Division, retired
to rest at Reninghelst, the village from which it had started on its
eventful journey twenty-four days before.

During all these operations the ⅙th had never once been driven back
by the enemy. All the retirements were made under orders from the
higher command and were carried out without confusion; enormous losses
had been inflicted on the enemy; and the whole brigade admitted that
Lieut.-Col. Bateman had been the life and soul of the defence. But a
sadly heavy toll had been paid for success. Besides Capt. Ogston, the
battalion had to mourn many of its best fighters who had come out in
the early days. Among these were Lieut. Norman Procter, M.C., who,
after a long spell of sterling work as battalion signalling officer,
had been promoted to the Brigade staff: Sergt. Bury, D.C.M., M.M., who
had signally distinguished himself in many a hard fight: Sergt. Gibson,
D.C.M., Sergt. Burrows and Sergt. Stott, of Skipton; Sergt. Harding,
M.M. of Keighley, Corporal Tillotson, M.M., of Oxenhope, and Corporal
Barton, M.M. of Hellifield, an admirable Lewis gun instructor. D
company had also lost their devoted commander, Capt. Buxton, M.C., who
was very seriously wounded.

The whole Division was now withdrawn from the line and spent some
weeks in the neighbourhood of Proven and St. Jans-ter-biezen, resting,
reorganizing, training, and working on reserve lines. It was at this
time that the 147th Brigade started its own particular concert party,
“The Ducks,” which became very popular. The general manager was Lieut.
J. S. Spencer, of Keighley, while Private Morgan, of B company, with
his wonderful soprano voice, made up into one of the most attractive
“leading ladies” in France.


THE GARRISON OF YPRES.

At the beginning of June the 49th Division once again staked out its
claim to the proud title of “Garrison of Ypres” by returning to the
line in front of that city. The trenches had now drawn very close to
the town and battalion headquarters were often in the ancient ramparts.
An attack was confidently expected and the order was that Ypres was
to be “held at all costs.” However for some reason the attack never
came off. Delayed by an epidemic of influenza, it was probably finally
abandoned owing to the need of troops to meet Marshal Foch in the
south. Here the battalion remained for the summer. Heavily shelled with
gas on its first arrival, its stay on the whole was not an unpleasant
one, in spite of shelling both on the front line and back areas, and
constant visits from bombing aeroplanes.

The Belgians were on the left and their soldiers created a very
favourable impression. Later the 1st American Division arrived and came
into the trenches with the ⅙th Battalion for instruction, before taking
over the line themselves in the latter half of August. They appeared to
be excellent material, and were very eager to learn all they could.

The outstanding feature of the stay was a very successful raid
undertaken one morning by a party of A company under Lieut. C. Lowther,
M.C. and Lieut. Farrer. Many Germans were killed and four captured.
The following day Company Sergt.-Major Wiseman, D.C.M., led another
successful foray, inflicting casualties on the enemy.

The ⅙th Duke’s left Ypres for the last time on August 19th, and with
the rest of the Division had gone back to a delightful rest area
between Calais and St. Omer. They had just settled down to training in
charming surroundings when they were suddenly ordered to move south.
The First Army had begun its final offensive and the 49th was required
to take a part.


THE ADVANCE FROM CAMBRAI.

After brief halts at Pierremont (near St. Pol), at Estrees-Cauchie,
and at Ecurie, the battalion arrived on September 23rd, 1918, at
Wilderness Camp, about two miles from Arras on the Cambrai road. During
this period Brig.-General C. G. Lewes, C.M.G., D.S.O., was transferred
to home service, and Brig.-General Morant, D.S.O., of the Durham Light
Infantry, was promoted to the command of the 147th Infantry Brigade.
At Wilderness Camp other changes occurred within the battalion. Major
Tanner, after a long spell of arduous work with the 6th Battalion,
returned to his original battalion (7th Duke’s) as second-in-command:
and Major Hugh Dixon, who had made a great reputation both as a skilled
instructor and a cheerful and tenacious leader, left the battalion on
promotion to be second-in-command of the 9th Essex Regt.

Here the battalion remained a fortnight while the situation developed.
The attack, as yet, had only been pushed forward south of the river
Scarpe, and the Germans were known to have reserves in Douai, to the
northward, which might be used against the flank of our advance. But
on October 6th the order was given to move forward; the north was now
secure. On the 9th, when Cambrai was captured, the 6th were close
behind, and on the 10th moved up to Escadoeuvres in front of that city,
and were in close support to the front line. The following day they
were once again at grips with the enemy.

The southern half of the First British Army (south of the Scarpe) was
at this time far in advance of the northern half, and the plan was
formed to push forward by surprise attacks towards Valenciennes on
the south, in order to cut off the German forces who were known to be
holding out in the strongly defended neighbourhood of Douai.

For this difficult and hazardous task the 49th Division was selected.
If a surprise was to be effected, no time was permissible in which to
move up a full complement of artillery, and it was with a scattered
barrage of 18-pounders that the 49th went over the top, over ground
which they had had no time to reconnoitre.

The 146th Brigade (West Yorks.) was on the left and the 147th (Duke
of Wellington’s) on the right. The 6th Duke’s, in support to the 4th
and 7th Duke’s, moved out of Escadoeuvres at 11-45 p.m. on the night
of Oct. 10-11th and dug in near the village of Naves. Advancing at
dawn through the German barrage of gas shells they crossed the Erclin
river without incident: but near the top of the ridge beyond found the
front line coming back and themselves met with heavy machine gun fire.
They were soon mingled with the front line on the top of the ridge and
there saw four enemy tanks advancing through the division, causing many
casualties. Lieut. H. Hopwood, with Corporal Ames and a party of D
company Lewis gunners, opened concentrated fire upon the leading tank
and caused them all to retire. The ridge was held, but the Division had
suffered heavy casualties. The 6th, who had suffered less than some
others, had lost three company commanders--Capt. Coulthurst, killed,
and Capt. Clifford and Lieut. Grey wounded.

This line was occupied for the night. By next morning the enemy had
retired, and the ⅙th led the way forward through the village of
Villers-en-Cauchies without interference except from the machine
guns of enemy aeroplanes. The next opposition was encountered at
Saulzoir, on the Selle river, which was found to be strongly held. By
vigorous patrolling the battalion gradually pushed their way into the
village, where they found many civilians in cellars, who welcomed them
affectionately and fed them with coffee, though themselves suffering
severely from the enemy’s mustard gas. A large number of French
civilians were removed to safety by night. By these advances, in which
Lieut. Hopwood, M.C., Lieut. Farrar, 2nd Lieut. Bilham, Sergts. Best,
M.M., Green, D.C.M., Calvert, D.C.M., Sykes, D.C.M., and Rosenthal,
D.C.M., in turn did valuable work, the battalion had fought its way
house by house practically up to the Selle river, where it was relieved
on the night of October 18th by the 2nd Battalion Duke of Wellington’s
Regt., among whom the 6th Battalion found many friends.

In the week’s fighting the battalion had lost heavily. Besides Capt.
Coulthurst, 2nd Lieut. Ricroft, a most promising young officer, had
been killed; also Company Sergt.-Major McDermott, D.C.M., one of the
best N.C.O.’s the battalion ever turned out; Sergts. Godwin, M.M. and
Midgley, M.M., Corporals Haw and Stanley, and many other good fellows.
On the night before the relief, a gas shell, falling on the roof of the
cellar which served as orderly room, placed almost all our battalion
headquarters hors-de-combat. Lieut.-Col. C. M. Bateman, D.S.O., with
Lieuts. Stewart and Thrackray, was taken to hospital; Lieut. A. P.
Smith, M.C., the Acting Adjutant, left alone in the cellar, was just
able to hold on and give the necessary instructions before he, too, had
to be helped out of the line. Major A. B. Clarkson, M.C., took over
the command of the battalion and Major F. L. Smith, M.C., who had been
attached to the Divisional Staff, returned as second-in-command, with
Lieut. A. Lacy as adjutant.


THE FINAL VICTORY.

After a short rest at Naves and Hordain the Battalion found itself
again in the battle line on the night of Oct. 28th-29th, when it took
over the front near Famars, south of Valenciennes. The floods to the
west and north of Valenciennes prevented a direct attack upon that
city; and the task set the 49th Division with Canadians on their left
and the 4th Division on their right, was to break through the strong
series of defences on the hills and valleys to the south and so render
the city untenable.

The 49th Division attacked on a two battalion front. To the ⅙th Duke
of Wellington’s was assigned the honour of leading the attack on the
right, with the 7th Duke’s in support and the 4th Duke’s in reserve.
The 146th (West Yorks.) Brigade attacked on the left in similar
formation, and the 148th was held in reserve for a further push
northwards the following day. Within the ⅙th Batt. A and B companies
had to attack first; their task was to rush the German first line and
the posts in front of it, descend into the valley, cross the river
Rhonelle and ascend the opposite slope as far as a deeply sunken road
on the next ridge. C and D companies were then to push through them
and if possible reach the line of the Preseau-Marly road some 800
yards beyond. The whole arrangements were most carefully worked out
and explained by Lieut.-Col. Clarkson, M.C., and a splendid supporting
barrage was organized by Colonel Duncan, of Otley, who was in command
of the artillery brigade covering the ⅙th front and had one 18-pounder
gun for every twelve and a half yards of frontage, without counting
those of heavier calibre behind.

The attack, which opened at 5-15 a.m. was a most successful one. The
men were delighted to start a clean show of their own, planned by their
own officers, instead of their usual task of going in to retrieve
the fortunes of a day of failure: though they numbered little over
320, they captured about 600 unwounded prisoners (including twelve
officers), a great store of machine guns and trench mortars, and left
many hundred German dead upon the field.

A company on the left, under Capt. Farrar, M.C., went off with a rare
dash and rushed a number of hidden machine gun posts found unexpectedly
near their line; crossing the Rhonelle river by fallen trees and by
footbridges placed in position by parties of the 19th Lancashire
Fusiliers, they accomplished their task in spite of severe casualties,
and came unexpectedly upon the sunken road, which was found full of
surrendering Germans and of pack-horses which had just come up with
their rations. B company on the right had an even stiffer time; all
their officers had been put out of action within five minutes of the
start, and flanking machine gun fire raked them all the way. Company
Sergt.-Major T. Limmer, D.C.M., at once took charge and led the company
with the greatest skill and gallantry to its objective, thus winning
the only M.C. awarded to a Company Sergeant.-Major of the battalion
during the campaign.

After a short pause C company, under Lieut. W. Spratt, M.C., who had
taken command in place of Capt. Willink, wounded, moved forward from
the sunken road and after stubborn fighting reached their furthest
objective. D company under Capt. Hart, M.C., attacked on their right
but soon suffered very heavy casualties, for the 4th Division, on their
right again, had met with a severe check and had been driven back from
Preseau. At the critical moment Capt. Hart and practically all his
head-quarters staff were killed by a burst of machine gun fire, and
the company was forced to dig in a few hundred yards short of their
objective. As the West Yorks. were also unable to get quite to their
objective, this isolated Lieut. Spratt, who was still holding his
ground with Sergt. Woodhead, M.M., Sergt. Burns, M.M., Corporal Maude,
M.M., and a handful of other stalwarts; and Lieut.-Col. Clarkson, who
managed to visit the whole front line during the hottest fighting,
ordered him to retire a short distance to make the line more secure.
But the high ridge had been won and the enemy was forced to retire from
his cunningly constructed defences. The 7th Battalion advanced next day
with very little opposition and Valenciennes was restored to France.

The battalion had lost a big proportion of its small numbers. Besides
Capt. Hart, M.C., 2nd Lieuts. Cartwright and Oughton had been killed
and Capt. Willink succumbed to his wounds a few days later. Sergts.
Upton and Davies and Corporal Maude, M.M., all of whom had done gallant
work, were also among the fallen. Lieut. Claridge had been wounded
shortly before the battle, and Sergt. Fredericksen, M.M., commanded the
signallers most successfully throughout the attack.

On the night of November 2nd, the Battalion moved out of the line for
what proved to be the last time. Taken in motor ‘buses back to the
mining village of Auby, near Douai, they were engaged in reorganizing
and training new drafts when news of the Armistice arrived. There was
little material for any form of feasting, but a most successful concert
was held and the Battalion store of S.O.S. rockets and flares was found
to be lamentably deficient next morning.

There was plenty of good fare for the Christmas dinner, for which four
live pigs were obtained, regardless of expense, from the other side
of Arras. And shortly after, while football and education became main
topics of interest, the battalion began to dwindle. Demobilized men
began to go home and retainable men and volunteers were transferred to
the 13th Battalion Duke of Wellington’s Regt. at Dunkirk. The numbers
were already very small when the battalion moved into the city of
Douai, on March 20th, and on June 7th, the cadre, consisting of four
officers and twenty-three other ranks, left for Dunkirk, with colours
and stores, on its homeward way.

On June 16th, Lieut.-Col. Bateman, D.S.O., who had returned to the
Battalion early in the year, crossed the Channel with his small party,
and on June 19th the cadre enjoyed a civic reception from the town of
Skipton, before depositing in the ancient parish church the regimental
colours, which had been taken to France after the Armistice. Later in
the day the cadre, with Lieut.-Col. Birkbeck, Major Clarkson, D.S.O.,
M.C., and a number of other returned officers, was entertained at a
late luncheon by the Skipton Urban District Council, with Councillor
John Walker in the chair.


THE STORES AND TRANSPORT.

In this narrative of the fighting there has been little opportunity
to do full justice to the stiff work gallantly done by the
Transport Section and by the band of handy men collected under the
Quartermaster’s command and commonly known as “the Stores.” Upon their
efforts the comfort, well-being, and general fighting efficiency of a
battalion in the field largely depend, and in the case of the ⅙th the
companies in the line never lacked their hearty support.

When the cadre returned to Skipton it was only fitting that one of
the officers to carry the colours should be Capt. John Churchman,
D.C.M., for he holds a truly remarkable record. When he went to
France he was by many years the oldest officer in the battalion,
yet till the cadre was finally dispersed at Ripon, except for terms
of short leave, he had never been off duty for a day. To him the
battalion owes a deep debt of gratitude. He was well supported by
Quartermaster-Sergt. Norton, M.S.M., who, coming to France with the
147th Brigade headquarters, rejoined the 6th in the early days at Ypres
and also remained throughout the war. Much valuable work along various
lines was also done by Corporal Ward, Corporal Aspinal, Lance-Corporal
Jenkinson, Privates Newhouse, Walker and Maudsley in the Ration Dept.;
Shoemaker-Sergt. Bulcock and Corporal Busfield (tailor) in the Repairs
Dept.

The Transport section, ever most cheery when work was hardest, was
given a good start by Capt. S. H. Clough, M.C., who took them to France
and only left them on getting command of his company after a strenuous
winter in the muddy salient. Lieut. Morgan Bevan had charge for a time
and was then succeeded by Lieut. C. M. Perfect, who led them gallantly
through the bad times of Passchendaele and the fighting round Bailleul.
When he returned home after an accident, he was followed by Lieut.
Sidebotham. But all would willingly acknowledge how much they owed to
Sergt. Field, M.M., M.S.M., the transport sergeant. Sergt. Bryden,
M.M., early distinguished himself, and with that genial giant, Corporal
Kay, M.M., Privates Howard and Williamson, and a few more, was very
prominent in the difficult nightly marches to the Broodseinde ridge
with pack horses, when shells fell thickly all round and a single step
off the narrow wooden track spelled disaster. In the desperate fighting
at Nieppe, the 6th Batt. transport alone was able to get through the
shell-swept street of the town and kept its record for always taking
rations to the line. To the men of the Transport, too, belongs the main
credit for a wonderful performance at Merville Station, when the whole
battalion, complete with horses, mules, waggons, cookers, watercarts
and everything else, was loaded on a train ready to start eighteen
minutes after entering the station yard. Their genial kindliness always
attracted to their lines a curious and devoted collection of stray
dogs, goats, and children, and they will always be affectionately
remembered by “the lads” in the companies, for whom they would always
willingly undertake the most hazardous journey.

Of the Medical Section, largely recruited from the Barnoldswick branch
of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, it need only be said that it played
a prominent part in every action that has been mentioned, and the
long list of honours that fell to its share is ample testimony to the
excellence of its work. The standard set up by Capt. Haddow and Sergt.
Garrett, D.C.M., in the early days was maintained throughout. When
Capt. Haddow was wounded at the opening of the battle of the Somme,
he was succeeded by Capt. Glover, who did admirable work through the
Thiepval fighting, but was recalled soon after to an important post at
home. For the remainder of the war the battalion enjoyed the valuable
services of Capt. S. P. Stoker, M.C., who set his men a constant
example of cheeriness and kindheartedness through the many dark days
that followed. In addition to his skill as a doctor and assiduity as
sanitary inspector he possessed distinct gifts as an after-dinner
speaker, and when, after the Armistice, he was transferred to the Army
of the Rhine, he took with him the good wishes of all ranks in his old
battalion.

    The above men lost their lives by the sinking of the
    “_Rohilla_” on the East Coast, off Whitby, 30th October, 1914,
    while on her way from Leith to Dunkirk, to bring soldiers from
    the Front.




THE WRECK OF THE “ROHILLA.”

A SAD DAY FOR BARNOLDSWICK.


Perhaps one of the most poignant tragedies of the early stages of the
War was the sinking of the hospital ship “_Rohilla_” on the East coast
near Whitby. It was a disaster which will long be remembered by the
Craven district generally and Barnoldswick in particular, inasmuch
as the splendidly appointed ship of 7,000 tons had on board fifteen
Barnoldswick members of the Naval Sick Berth Reserve. Of these only
three were saved, the remainder being reported dead or missing.

    The men concerned were:--


SAVED.

    Pte. W. Eastwood, married, two children, 8, Powell Street.

    Pte. F. Rediough, single, 13, Ribblesdale Terrace.

    Pte. Anthony Waterworth, single, North View Terrace.


MISSING OR DEAD.

    Sergt. A. Petty, married, one child, 2, Bracewell Street.

    Cpl. M. Birtwhistle, married, one child, 19, Clifford St.

    Cpl. W. J. Daly, married, six children, 32, Westgate.

    Pte. H. Barter, married, no children, 41, Skipton Road.

    Pte. T. Petty, married, three children, 11, Coronation Street.

    Pte. T. Horsfield, married, seven children, 33, Heather View.

    Pte. W. Horsfield, single, 7, Essex Street.

    Pte. Alfred Elsworth, single, 32, Wellington Street.

    Pte. J. T. Pickles, married, one child, Federation Street.

    Pte. H. Hodkinson, single, 14, Bank Street.

    Pte. W. Anderson, single, 20, School Terrace.

    Pte. F. Dunkley, married, one child, 9, Bairstow Street.

The “_Rohilla_” was on her way to Dunkirk to bring back the wounded,
and at ten minutes to four on the morning of October 30th, 1914, she
struck on submerged rocks in the vicinity of Whitby. Within half a mile
of land she broke in two, and was battered to pieces in the presence
of thousands of spectators, who, for the most part, were helpless. The
dangerous proximity of the vessel to land was first noticed by a sentry
on night duty on the pier head at Whitby, who was astonished to see a
large vessel loom up out of the darkness and pass silently within a few
yards of the pier.

Almost simultaneously a coastguard sighted the vessel and recognised
her peril as she skirted the submerged rocks which stretch from the
foot of the south cliff. Half a mile further on, within a few hundred
yards of a curious promontory known as Saltwick Nab, the vessel struck
the rocks with a grinding crash. Rockets were at once sent up and the
alarm raised. The vessel was about 500 yards from the cliff and in as
helpless a position for rescue as could be imagined. It was impossible
to launch the larger of the two lifeboats from Whitby Harbour or to
drag it under the lee of the cliffs to a more favourable position, and
all attempts of the Rocket Brigade to establish communication with the
vessel were unavailing.

The smaller lifeboat was, however, dragged along the beach towards
Saltwick Nab and a favourable position found for launching. Meanwhile
one of the “_Rohilla’s_” boats had been lowered, and after a severe
buffeting, reached the shore with the second officer and five of the
crew. The rescue of the remainder seemed assured as the boat had
brought a line from the steamer, but to the dismay of the onlookers
this snapped before any use could be made of it.

Then an attempt was made with the lesser of the Whitby lifeboats. In
spite of the very heavy sea they reached the wreck, and, thanks to
the admirable seamanship of the coxswain, took off seventeen of the
survivors, including the whole of the women on board--five. In this
boat were Privates Rediough and Waterworth. A second trip was made
and eighteen more were rescued and safely landed, but the boat was
found to have been so battered by the double journey as to render her
unseaworthy, and further attempts were impossible.

Word was sent for the Upgang lifeboat, but before this arrived it was
clear the “_Rohilla_” was breaking up. About 10 a.m. an unusually large
wave swept the wreck and when the foam had cleared away it was seen
that the stern had turned turtle, and there was no trace of a number of
men who, a few minutes before, had been clinging to that portion of the
ship. The bows were also settling down and all the men left alive on
the vessel were clustered on the bridge.

The Upgang lifeboat, which had been dragged through the town, was
lowered over the cliffs, but it was then deemed impossible to launch
her. Darkness fell at 5 o’clock. It was a night of horror. Saturday
morning saw the superstructure of the “_Rohilla_” still above water
with its tragic load. Attempts were made by several--among them, it
subsequently transpired, one or two of the Barnoldswick men--to swim
ashore, but few succeeded. An attempt by the Upgang lifeboat to reach
the wreck failed, and the continued inability of the Rocket Brigade to
do anything effective was most disheartening.

When it drew towards evening on Saturday scarcely a flicker of hope
remained. About 10 p.m., however, a message was sent to Capt. Neillson
urging him to hold on till morning, news having come through that the
Tynemouth motor lifeboat was coming down the coast during the night
and would attempt a rescue the following morning. Oil was poured on
the water near the wreck. The motor boat arrived in the early hours
and stayed in Whitby harbour until dawn, when it made towards the
wreck. Amid scenes that will never be forgotten by those watching from
the beach, all the survivors were taken off and landed safely.
  Pte.
Eastwood was the only Barnoldswick man to be taken off in the motor
boat; Pte. Waterworth and Pte. Rediough had previously been taken
ashore by the Whitby lifeboat.

There were few towns more sad than Barnoldswick when the news of the
disaster came through. Flags were hoisted half mast on the public
buildings, feeling references were made from the pulpits of the town,
an impressive memorial service was held, and letters of sympathy
received from the Admiralty, the Medical Department of the Admiralty,
and from many ambulance divisions and brigades in Yorkshire and
Lancashire. A fund was started for the erection of a memorial hall, but
this has since been merged in the Barnoldswick War Memorial.

A handsome monument has been erected in Whitby Cemetery by the owners
of the “_Rohilla_” (the British India Steam Navigation Co.). As the
outcome of the disaster a movement for equipping Whitby with a motor
lifeboat has been successfully carried through, with the assistance
of the Royal Lifeboat Institution. The new boat was launched in June,
1919.




TUNSTILL’S “CRAVEN LEGION.”


One of the outstanding features of recruiting in Craven in the early
days of the war was a unique and entirely successful effort by Mr. H.
G. Tunstill, of Otterburn, who at that time represented the Settle
district on the West Riding County Council.

Mr. Tunstill arrived home from Russia on August 20th, 1914, and very
shortly afterwards issued a stirring appeal for ninety-nine men to
join him in making a company of one hundred for enlistment in Lord
Kitchener’s army. The appeal was addressed more particularly to Mr.
Tunstill’s constituents in the neighbourhood of Settle, and a series
of meetings were arranged. At many of these enthusiastic scenes
were witnessed, and after a campaign extending from the 7th to the
18th of September close upon one hundred men had been obtained, and
they paraded at Settle on the 19th. After going through the usual
attestation formalities they were royally entertained at the Ashfield
and Golden Lion Hotels, Mr. W. Morrison presiding at the former place,
and Mr. W. Simpson, Catteral Hall, at the latter. Subsequently there
was an entertainment at the Victoria Hall where clothing, comforts and
fruit were distributed.

The men left for their depot at Halifax amid memorable scenes. They
assembled in Settle Market Place at 7 a.m., and, after a parting speech
by Mr. Morrison, were marched to the station headed by the Brass
Band and accompanied by a large crowd. The train steamed out of the
station amid cheering, the detonation of fog signals and much waving of
handkerchiefs.

At Silsden, Mr. Tunstill’s men were met by another batch of recruits
and marched into Keighley. It was something in the nature of a
triumphal progress, followed by an inspection on the Town Hall Square
by the Mayor (Mr. W. A. Brigg) and other local gentlemen. They departed
for Halifax in the afternoon by special train and were inspected by
Col. Thorold, the officer commanding the depot, who publicly thanked
Mr. Tunstill for his services in obtaining such a fine body of
men. Two days later they were drafted to Frensham, near Aldershot,
and ultimately became “A” Company of the 10th Battalion Duke of
Wellington’s Regiment. Then followed a period of rigorous training in
which the men acquitted themselves very creditably.

Meanwhile Mr. Tunstill had been offered and accepted a commission and
was gazetted Captain in November, 1914. The Battalion went to France
in August, 1915, and Captain Tunstill remained with the Company until
October, 1916, when he was sent to England with a damaged knee and
ankle. He became unfit for active service, but performed valuable
work in connection with the training of recruits in England. He was
mentioned in dispatches in December, 1916. The Company saw much
fighting in France and also served with distinction in Italy.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM J. STACKHOUSE, eldest son of the late Major
Stackhouse, J.P., of Ingfield Hall, Settle, and Mrs. Stackhouse, of the
Grange, Casterton, Kirby Lonsdale, and husband of Theodora Charlotte
Stackhouse, of “Laguna,” Suffolk Rd., Bournemouth. This gallant
officer, the owner of a considerable estate in the Settle district,
was killed in action in France on March 12th, 1915, aged 32 years,
and his death plunged one of the oldest families in the neighbourhood
into mourning. Captain Stackhouse was born in 1883, educated at Harrow
and Sandhurst, whence he gained a commission in the 4th Lancashire
Fusiliers, and when the latter Regiment was disbanded in 1906, he was
offered a Lieutenancy in the 2nd Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby).
He received his captaincy in 1913. Prior to going to the front in
October, 1914, the deceased officer was Adjutant to the 10th Bn. Of a
cheery and kindly nature, he was extremely popular with his men, ever
ready to help and encourage them, and his delightful personality made
him a host of friends. He was a keen sportsman, polo, shooting and
motoring being his favourite recreations.

[Illustration: 2nd Lieut. Kirk.]

2ND LIEUT. GERALD KIRK (The King’s Own Lancaster) Regiment
(Territorials) a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Kirk, of Greenwood
Leghe, Ingleton. When the war broke out, Gerald Kirk joined the King’s
Own Lancashire Territorials as a private. He was quickly marked out for
promotion, and a commission was offered to him before he had completed
his training and embarked for the front. He met his death in the fierce
fighting in France on April 24th, 1915, and the news was received
with general regret in the Ingleton district, where he was a popular
figure and a general favourite. He was a clean and clever sportsman. In
particular, he loved Association football, and was identified for many
years with the Ingleton Football Club as Captain, in which capacity he
frequently led his men to victory. At the invitation of the Bradford
City Club he played with that combination as an amateur at centre
half; later he played for Leeds City, after which he again threw in
his lot with the Ingleton Club and remained with them after taking up
his residence at Warton. The deceased officer was one of the original
promoters of the Ingleton Conservative Club, and acted as its first
Hon. Secretary until his removal to the Carnforth district. The same
qualities he exhibited on the football field were prominent on the
field of battle. On March 9th, 1916, at St. Mary’s Church, Ingleton, a
memorial tablet to the deceased officer’s memory was unveiled by the
Vicar (the Rev. J. Llewellyn). It bears the following inscription:--“In
loving memory of Gerald Kirk, 2nd Lieut., 5th Bttn. King’s Own Royal
Lancaster Regt., son of Alfred S. and Isabella Kirk, of Greenwood
Leghe, Ingleton. Born July 14th, 1883; died at Poperinghe, Belgium,
April 24th, 1915, of wounds received at St. Julien the previous day.
This tablet is erected by his wife.”

[Illustration: Captain Ellis.]

CAPTAIN T. M. ELLIS, son of Dr. W. H. Ellis, formerly of
Ravenshaw, Carleton, Skipton, was killed in action in France on April
18th, 1915. Captain Ellis, who was unmarried, saw service in the South
African War in the 33rd Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding) Regiment.
In 1909, he returned to Bradford and acted as Adjutant to the 6th Bn.
West Yorkshire Regt. (T.). At the expiration of his term of office, he
rejoined the 2nd Bn. Duke of Wellington’s, then stationed at Dublin.
At the outbreak of war, the “Duke’s” had a rough experience, and at
the battle of Mons, Captain Ellis and a few others penetrated right
through the German lines and were unable to retrace their steps, being
posted by the military as missing. For days, Captain Ellis and his
companions were befriended by Belgian peasants, being disguised and
hidden in straw in barns. They were conducted across country by night,
and eventually reached the coast. Captain Ellis embarked at Ostend and
reached England in safety, subsequently enjoying a brief furlough at
his father’s house, Oak Avenue, Manningham. When next he crossed to
France, he was attached to the West Yorkshire Regiment, with which he
was serving when he met his death.

[Illustration: Captain Ermen.]

CAPTAIN G. H. ERMEN, of the 2/6th Bn. Duke of Wellington’s
(West Riding) Regiment, of Milton House, Gargrave, who, in civil life,
was general manager of the Belle Vue Mills of the English Sewing Cotton
Company at Skipton, died at his residence on May 4th, 1915, aged 38
years. At the outbreak of war, Captain Ermen relinquished his position
to take up military duties. He had previously held a commission in the
6th Bn. Manchesters, with which regiment he saw service in the South
African War. He was gazetted Captain in the first Reserve Bn. of the
6th Duke of Wellington’s Regiment, which was raised at Skipton under
Colonel R. E. Williamson, V.D., and remained at Headquarters until the
battalion was transferred to Derby. While stationed at Doncaster, Capt.
Ermen was appointed Adjutant to the Battalion, but had not long enjoyed
this distinction before he was compelled to return home on sick leave
and died, as stated, to the sincere regret of many sorrowing friends.
Capt. Ermen took a keen interest in the National Reserve Movement, and
was Officer Commanding the Skipton Companies, in the organization of
which he took a prominent and useful part.

[Illustration: Lieut. Knowles.]

LIEUT. HEDLEY KNOWLES, ⅙th Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding)
Regiment, the first Skipton officer to give his life for King and
Country. Lieut. Knowles was the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Knowles,
The Arches, Skipton. The news of his death was received with very
deep regret, for he had, by his geniality of disposition, earned the
affection of a wide circle of friends. The deceased officer, who was
twenty-two years of age, was destined for the legal profession, and
had before him a career of much promise. The outbreak of war saw
him, with typical British patriotism, eager to take his part in the
momentous struggle. He had joined the 6th Bn. Duke of Wellington’s
Regiment in 1913, and was gazetted 2nd Lieut. It was while training
in camp at Marske that the Territorial Force was ordered to mobilize,
and he went with his Bn. to Immingham, where they went into training,
and accompanied them later to Healing, Riby and Doncaster. Later
he accompanied his Battalion to France, where he proved himself a
thorough and capable officer. It was while acting as instructor to a
school of bomb throwing that he met his sad end, being killed by the
premature explosion of a rifle grenade on May 30th, 1915. Death was
instantaneous, and the whole regiment sincerely grieved the loss of one
who had made himself a general favourite with both officers and men. As
one of the officers, in communicating the painful news to his parents,
said, “He was an excellent soldier and a thorough sportsman. He had no
fear, his only wish being to serve his King and Country, for which he
has given his life.”

[Illustration: 2nd Lieut. Bargh.]

2ND LIEUT. GEORGE BARGH, the King’s Liverpool Regiment, son
of Mrs. Bargh, of Procter’s Farm, Wray, near Lancaster, reported
killed in action on May 10th, 1915. News reached Mrs. Bargh from Col.
Wallace, 1st Suffolk Regt., who was a prisoner of war in Germany, that
on that date her son was shot in the head, just before the Germans took
the trenches, as he was bandaging a wounded soldier, and was killed
instantly. Lieut. Bargh received his early education at Halifax, and
subsequently obtained his B.Sc. at University College, Reading. He
afterwards became a teacher at Hawes Council School. He accepted his
commission in the King’s Liverpool Regiment early in 1914.

LIEUT. R. F. MORKILL, East Lancashire Regiment and Royal
Flying Corps, second son of Mr. J. W. Morkill, J.P., of Newfield
Hall, Bell Busk, met his death on June 22nd, 1915, following injuries
received in a flying accident at Gosport, and the sad event cast a
deep gloom over the Craven District, where the family is well known
and highly respected. Lieut. Morkill, who was attached to the East
Lancashire Regiment, went to the front in Sept. 1914, and was on active
service continuously up to February, 1915. On returning to England,
he was transferred to the Royal Flying Corps as a probationer and
qualified as an aviator only a week before he met his untimely end. Two
years previously, Lieut. Morkill had obtained a Pilot’s Certificate at
the Eastbourne Flying School. On June 22nd, he was ordered to make the
flight from Gosport to Shoreham and back. The machine was certified to
be in perfect order. According to the evidence at the inquest Lieut.
Morkill was preparing to start on the return journey from Shoreham. The
engine was running satisfactorily, but a leak was observed in the oil
cistern. After a new pipe had been fitted the journey was commenced.
When up about 200 feet, the engine missed once or twice and appeared to
stop, due, as was subsequently ascertained, to a mechanical fracture.
The aeroplane came to the ground and Lieut. Morkill was found to have
been crushed by the wreckage. He died as the result of his injuries in
his 23rd year. He married in Sept. 1914, Ellen Mary, youngest daughter
of the late Mr. T. L. Wilkinson, Neasham Abbey, Darlington.

their King and Country in the great war, two of whom afterwards gave
their lives in the same great cause.

Lothersdale. He obtained a commission early in September, 1914, and
in July, 1915, he left for Gallipoli, and took part in the landing at
Suvla Bay in the following August. All hope of his safety was soon
given up, as two brother officers, who were quite near him at the time,
stated that at dawn on the 9th August, after leading his men up to the
firing line, he was hit and fell without a sound and never moved again.
These officers were certain that he was killed instantaneously: half
an hour later the ground was given up and was never re-taken. Nothing
further could be heard of him, and in July, 1916, it was officially
reported that he was “killed in action.”

devotion to duty in taking command of his Company, when his company
commander had become a casualty, and leading them for two days, during

He attained all his objectives in the face of heavy fire, and was
repeatedly to the fore in repelling counter-attacks. His personal
gallantry won the admiration of all ranks. Lieut.-Col. Jefferies wrote
to Lieut. Berry’s father as follows:--“He was one of my very best and
trustworthy officers. He was commanding a company and would have been
a Captain had he remained with the Bn. I always knew that when he
undertook a job it would be carried out to the letter, and this is one
of the very highest recommendations it is possible to give a soldier.
The Regiment could ill afford to lose him, as officers of his type are
far from being common.”

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.

of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project

defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the

limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
remaining provisions.

Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
