And then cause when the blitz on London, anybody who'd been in the fire service, they called both of them out from the army into the fire service again while all that terrible trouble was on. And then you went back into the army again didn't you dear after that?

Course we never saw any Germans except for that gun coming out, we never saw any. Except for those we captured that were coming back.
Because it was a moving you know a fast moving war all the time.

JS: That's very interesting often though I've thought, you know cause Mark has asked, especially when we went to Mons and he was saying what did Grandad do?
AS: Shilling a day!
DC: That's what I got when I first went shilling a day.
AS: The children get that for a 5-day week for pocket money! 25p! (laughter)
IC: Yes!
DC: 7 bob a week. In fact we didn't draw 7 bob a week we used to draw 6. 6 and something. So they used to keep so much back every time. On top of that you pay a shilling for your blanket,

DC: Yeah. That was to bury you in!

IC: Now that's owing to him! Now that's a half a crown and a shilling still owing to him! (laughter)
DC: Do you know I don't even think they used to bury you in your boots? because we saw a bloke being buried in his blanket and he had no boots on.
AS: Reissue the boots! You reissue the boots
DC: No probably didn't do him cause he was probably Italian but they never they used to bury you where you dropped. And then the graves people would come afterwards and Italians would dig you up and pinch you boots wouldn't they?
Cause it was funny that cause going through one place our cook was a Liverpudlian. And what was the Liverpool army...? Forget the name what his lot was But his brother was a soldier and the place we stopped at one night his brother was buried in the garden.
JS: Oh no!
DC: And there was the old wooden stake with his brother's name on, and tin hat on.
JS: Oh that must have been awful mustn't it?
JS: And what regiment were you or what were you called originally?
DC: Me? I was first or all in the Royal Warwick's Andy would know them and then I went into the Royal Fusiliers then I finished up in the Royal Armed Service Corps.
JS: Have you got any sort of medals and things?

Thomas Doggett established a prize for watermen in their first year of apprenticeship, to be raced for on the Tideway in London (August 1), that is now one of the oldest, continually running athletic contests in the world. The Coat and Badge that were awarded brought fame, though little fortune, to the wearers, who were also eligible to man the Royal Barge on state occasions. http://www.rowinghistory.net/Time%20Line/TL%20-1849images.htm
Extract from recorded interview with Douglas CAMPBELL (DC) and his wife Irene (IC) in 1984:
DC: All I do know is my fathers' grandfather was a freeman of London!
IC: Were they the lighter-men? Coz Mum had lighter-men on the Thames some of her relatives weren't they?
DC: Yes, I know some are

JS: The freemen of the city that as you say can be passed on can it to your next...?
DC: It could ha' done yes.
JS: Why wasn't it?
DC: Coz dad never
IC: Never bothered him he never bothered about anything did he?!
DC: No He wouldn't bother about anything like that
He didn't like any fuss or anything like that (laughter)
IC: Or any form filling in or anything like that! (laughter)
DC: No well I don't! (laughter)
AS: Now we know where dad gets it from! (laughter)

AS: The mounted police? Yes so that means that's your great grandfather?
DC: Yes yes
AS: Was that before 1600 or?
DC: Ooh hoo! (laughter)
AS: Perhaps not! And there's something about lighter-men on your side somewhere as well.
DC: Yes quite a few of them were lighter-men
AS: And is that where the freemen of the city came in?
DC: Probably
IC: Something to do with these barges down the Thames and its quite a small knit profession to be in. I mean its still carried on today. In fact you (inaudible)? the night
DC: You've heard of the Coat and Doggett people?
JS: The what?
DC: The Coat and Doggett. they have the races on the Thames
JS: Oh..
IC: And that's all to do with the lighter-mens relatives
DC: every year. Their all to do with in the olden days when Henry the VIII, and King Charles come down the Thames on barges well the lighter-man supplied the rowers. And they all had special uniforms the Cloak and Doggett badge. They wear a red hat and red cloak and gold braid Or a scarlet coat and gold braid. They are the lighter-men of London. And they supplied the oarsmen to the royal barges. Of course they don't do it now do they? But they still hold the race every year
IC: They still hold the racing and the tradition in the main's still goes on...
Further research suggests that Frederick's Grandfather was a William Campbell... former winner of the Doggetts Coat and Badge race, and thus a Freeman of the City of London.
Doggetts Coat and Badge race winners:
1850 Campbell, William. District - Westminster

Research suggests that Frederick's Grandfather was a William Campbell... a former winner of the Doggetts Coat and Badge race, and thus a Freeman of the City of London.
Doggetts Coat and Badge race winners:
1850 Campbell, William. District - Westminster
http://parishregister.com/winners.html
Thomas Doggett established a prize for watermen in their first year of apprenticeship, to be raced for on the Tideway in London (August 1), that is now one of the oldest, continually running athletic contests in the world. The Coat and Badge that were awarded brought fame, though little fortune, to the wearers, who were also eligible to man the Royal Barge on state occasions. http://www.rowinghistory.net/Time%20Line/TL%20-1849images.htm
Extract from recorded interview with Douglas CAMPBELL (DC) and his wife Irene (IC) in 1984:
DC: All I do know is my fathers' grandfather was a freeman of London!
IC: Were they the lighter-men? Coz Mum had lighter-men on the Thames some of her relatives weren't they?
DC: Yes, I know some are
DC: All I know is he was freeman of London I know, coz dad could have had that coz he was the eldest son.
IC: One of your mums children could have gone to the cap n gown school couldn't they?
DC: Yeah
IC: And in fact they got given a place
DC: You mean, Christ's College.
IC: Yes. Your mum called it the "cap n gown school"!
DC: Yes.
IC: You know the way she talked about these things!
DC: Yeah I don't know if you ever seen them they wore yellow stockings and.. or red stockings and a long cloak.
AS: They still do??
DC: Yes they still do! It's a college in London for children of the freemen of the city and all that you know?
JS: The freemen of the city that as you say can be passed on can it to your next...?
DC: It could ha' done yes.
JS: Why wasn't it?
DC: Coz dad never
IC: Never bothered him he never bothered about anything did he?!
DC: No He wouldn't bother about anything like that
He didn't like any fuss or anything like that (laughter)
IC: Or any form filling in or anything like that! (laughter)
DC: No well I don't! (laughter)
AS: Now we know where dad gets it from! (laughter)
DC: Inconspicuous
IC: Yes that's right that's right that's just it!
DC: He didn't want to know
IC: that's just it!
AS: His grandfather you were saying dad was the was involved in the Metropolitan police?
DC: He was on the mounted police yes the mounted side
AS: The mounted police? Yes so that means that's your great grandfather?
DC: Yes yes
AS: Was that before 1600 or?
DC: Ooh hoo! (laughter)
AS: Perhaps not! And there's something about lighter-men on your side somewhere as well.
DC: Yes quite a few of them were lighter-men
AS: And is that where the freemen of the city came in?
DC: Probably
IC: Something to do with these barges down the Thames and its quite a small knit profession to be in. I mean its still carried on today. In fact you (inaudible)? the night
DC: You've heard of the Coat and Doggett people?
JS: The what?
DC: The Coat and Doggett. they have the races on the Thames
JS: Oh..
IC: And that's all to do with the lighter-mens relatives
DC: every year. Their all to do with in the olden days when Henry the VIII, and King Charles come down the Thames on barges well the lighter-man supplied the rowers. And they all had special uniforms the Cloak and Doggett badge. They wear a red hat and red cloak and gold braid Or a scarlet coat and gold braid. They are the lighter-men of London. And they supplied the oarsmen to the royal barges. Of course they don't do it now do they? But they still hold the race every year
IC: They still hold the racing and the tradition in the main's still goes on...

Adrienne: I cannot find them on the 1901 census but I think I have found a death for a John Carlile between 1891 an 1901. Yet again I cannot find what happened to Matilda Mabbett or where she was after 1891 but her children with John Carlile would mean that they were half-sisters to Samuel Charles Heath because they had the same mother. 'Aunt Tilly' is on the wedding photograph of Edwin Charles Heath to Gladys.

Adrienne has the birth certificate for daughter Matilda born on 7th April 1879 where she is named as Matilda Alice Mary, and mother is given as Matilda Alice Carlile, formerly Mabbett and father is John Carlile. This daughter is the 'Aunt' Tilly referred to elsewhere by Adrienne's mother.
Later in the 1891 census, eldest daughter Matilda A M M Carlile aged 12 by now not there. She is staying with Isabella Bennett aged 42 at 15 Bartley St Bedminster, Bristol.
Adrienne: Mum had also told me that 'Aunt'Tilly stayed with Arabella and went to a convent (probably a school ) in Redcatch St, Bristol. and my Aunt Beatie also mentioned Samuel Charles Heath's step sisters Tilly and Alice.
Aunt Tilly' is on the wedding photograph of Edwin Charles Heath to Gladys.

1898 - Emigrated to the Yukon as gold prospector.
1903 - Briefly returned to tour Europe and visit his mother in England for Christmas. On leaving the Yukon he took out a "large poke" (large some of money) having "taken part in many interesting experiences" according to the Yukon Sun dated Wednesday September 23rd 1903, through selling claims on French Hill to O.R. Brenner. His partners in "13 Eldorado" at that time included Dunham, Sheets and Higgins.
1906 - Returned to Canada via New York City. Ellis Island records for 5th March 1906 have him arriving aboard the "Carmania" from Liverpool. Recorded as "In Transit" to Dawson City, Yukon. Occupation: "Miner". He clearly still retained some wealth since he arrived as a respectable "Second Cabin" Passenger, rather than in common "Steerage".
Carmania - Built by John Brown & Company, Clydebank, Scotland, 1905. 19,566 gross tons; 650 (bp) feet long; 72 feet wide. Steam turbine engines, triple screw. Service speed 18.5 knots. 2,650 passengers (300 first class, 350 second class, 2,000 third class).Refitted in 1926 to cabin, tourist, third.Two funnels, two masts. Built for Cunard Line, British flag, in 1905 and named Carmania. Liverpool-New York service. Served as an armed merchant cruiser, then troopship 1914-18. Scrapped at Blyth in 1932.
August 1913 - Lost in woods whilst on a prospecting trip on the Moose Horn River, 20 miles from Teslin Lake in British Columbia. Body never found.
He left Bristol, England to seek his fortune prospecting for gold from the town of Eldorado in the Yukon in the 1890's. He did make quite an impression out there by all accounts - particularly in one account in the Yukon Sun of 23 September 1903. Here he is featured setting off for England (after taking out a "large poke" - presumably meaning alot of money) to visit his family and tour Europe after selling claims at "French Hill". The newspaper also states that Edward (or "Teddy") "has taken part in many interesting experiences"! The fascinating part is that the (rather worn) copy of the newspaper I have has been "censored" by the careful tearing out of an anecdote of a shooting incident - only the final line remains - "...the cheek by a bullet and bears the scar left by the wound to this day." Hmm.
Teddy returned to the Yukon after having brought back gifts for his family (I have gold tie pin stamped "Dawson" which he presented to my great grandmother during his Christmas 1903 visit).
The sad part of the tale is that he was lost whilst on a prospecting trip in the woods near Teslin Lake on the Yukon/ British Columbia border in July/August 1913. His body was never found, though his prospecting partner Reginald Naish, was. I have a copy of Naish's harrowing tale of having an accident with their raft on the river. They lost their knives and other tools with which they could have repaired the craft. Also Teddy had fallen ill. Naish made camp at the riverside and left Teddy to seek help only to become more hopelessly lost. He was eventually found, delirious with hunger after 20 days by a group of prospectors who happened to be in the area. Teddy was never seen again. On returning to the camp the afore-mentioned group could only find the makeshift camp where he had been left, and his husky dogs roaming free nearby. (The "family story" went that he had been eaten by his husky's! Though there is no evidence to support this).
After his death Teddy's mother Eliza (nee Child) back in Bristol, fought a long battle by letter with the Canadian authorities to gain access to her sons lands etc in the Klondyke. She had been left penniless by Teddy's death as his incoming also supported her. I don't know if her battle was ever won, though judging by the few papers of hers I have, I believe she probably did get something back though it took a good 12 years and she died not long after in 1923. | Edward CULLINANE

In 1871 at the time of the Census Timothy and Eliza had James, aged 1, with them, but John, also aged 1, was being looked after by Eliza's mum, Mrs. Child. It appears that James and John were twins, because on the 1881 Census John was aged 11 but there was a James aged 1. So did James, the twin aged 1 in 1871, die, to be remembered by the re-use of his name for a later son in 10 years' time? It's the only explanation that occurs to me at this time.

The following chronology provided here courtesy of Eileen Hughes (nee Cullinane).
Chronology of Dad's World War II Military Service
Captain John Henry Cullinane P/251260
The following is derived from conversations between JHC and various members of his family and friends and extracts from books.
20/07/1933 Enlisted into the Welsh Guards Regular Army and posted to 1st Battalion (Age 17)
16/06/1937 Released to Reserve. (Age 21)
Police Constable until call-up.
15/06/1939 Called up for Service. (Age 23)
02/09/1939 Mobilized and posted to 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. (Age 24)
22/04/1939 Extract from Welsh Guards at War. #1 "The 1st Battalion was ordered to reinforce the Garrison at Gibraltar and embarked on the 22nd April." This accounts for his service in Gibraltar.
07/11/1939 #1 "1st Battalion transferred from Gibraltar to France, sailing for Marseilles on the 7th November and spending a night in Paris before going to the front."
07/11/1939 Appointed Lance Corporal (Age 24)
05/04/1940 Promoted Corporal (Age 25)
10/04/1940 Married Alice Margaret Powell in St Patrick's Church Newport, Mon.
Honeymoon in Abergavenny at the Angel Hotel. 2 Photos below right taken at time of honeymoon on the bank of the River Usk.
I don't know how much leave he had to get married but he went back to France and was in the Arras area. (This from a conversation between Bob and Dad when they were discussing Bob's father who was captured in the Arras area.)
The 1st Battalion Welsh Guards marched in to Arras on the 17th May 1940 and held this position until the 24th of May 1940 when they were ordered to withdraw eventually reaching Dunkirk. A full account of how this was achieved can be found in #1. Page 89
We know that Dad came off Dunkirk beach but he never said much to me about it.
Margaret recalls that the ship that picked him up was the HMS Anthony. (Hence John's second name)
I have found this ship listed in the Operation Dynamo information, it rescued 3107 troops. See www.adls.org.uk
On one of his visits home Mum gave him a china black cat he kept this in his kit, along with a favourite pipe both of these came off Dunkirk beach with him.
03/12/1940 Posted to Staff Officer Cadet Training Unit - Sandhurst. (Age 26)
15/02/1941 John Anthony born.
01/06/1941 Promoted Sergeant.
09/12/1941 Posted to 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. (Age 27)
09/07/1942 Margaret Alice born.
10/07/1942 Posted to 161 Officer Cadet Training Unit.
05/11/1942 Appointed to an Emergency Commission
in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers as a Lieutenant and
posted to 9th Battalion. (Age 28)
29/03/1943 Attached to Advanced Handling and Fieldcraft School. JHC Lieutenant
20/08/1943 MOD records show Posted to Signal Training School HQ but I believe the "Signal" reference to be incorrect as STS means Special Training School. Papers found confirm that he was on the payroll of STS HQ on 1st March 1944 and possibly before.
His service records show that he was at the following STS Houses;
STS 2 Box Hill near Bath.
STS17 Brickendonbury
STS 34 The Drokes situated on the west side of the Beaulieu river.
STS 41 Gumley Hall, Market Harborough
STS 42 Roughwood Park, Chalfont St, Giles Bucks.
STS 51 Ringway.
We know from converstions with him that he also knew Beaulieu in the New forest and Arisaig in Scotland.
Mum told us that he parachuted into France before the D Day landings.
07/09/1944 Appointed Captain. (Age 29)
09/04/1945 He took over command of STS 47 Anderson Manor Dorset.
From 05/11/1942 to 16/06/1945 what he actually did is very vague. An indication can be found in a book called (#2)"Beaulieu: The Finishing School For Secret Agents" (chapter IV pg. 46)
This states that the Small Scale Raiding Force had its HQ at Anderson Manor.
We also know from things Dad mentioned that he was at Arisaig. (#2 pg. 14) SOE School known as the MI (Military Intelligence) Wing and Beaulieu the finishing school for secret agents.
16/06/1945 Posted to 21 Holding Battalion. Newtown Camp, Newtown, Montgomery.
See letter from Capt. Paul Mullaney in brown box.
22/06/1945 Eileen Elizabeth born.
10/09/1945 Posted to 38 Reinforcement Holding Unit. (Age 30)
08/09/1945 Embarked UK
09/09/1945 Disembarked North West Europe. Based at Ludenscheid
18/09/1945 Posted to 11th Battalion Royal Scott's Fusiliers.
The only information I have about this time is from Dad. He said he was involved in interviewing refugees in order to find out if they should be sent back to Russia or remain in Germany. See also #3 page 85 for another possible reason for being in Germany.
11/01/1946 Release orders received at Ludenscheid. (Original in brown box)
Ordered to report to 49 Div. Transit Camp on 19th Jan. 1946 for transport to UK via. 122 Transit Camp Munster and via Tournai to UK for release.
03/04/1946 Released from Military Service.
Overseas Service MOD record:
Gibraltar 02/09/1939 to 06/11/1939
France 07/11/1939 to 31/05/1940
North West Europe 08/09/1945 to 23/01/1946
As far as War Service is concerned that was the end of it. He now began a fight to get a job to keep his family, a wife and 3 children at this time.
Amongst the papers in the brown box are letters saying he had not been successful for jobs. One from the Chief Constable saying he was now too old to be a PC. The Tax Office was also checking on income during his war service. (nice people)
So along with thousands of other soldiers he had come back to the country, he had fought 7 years for, to find that those who stayed safely at home, for whatever reason, were not prepared to employ him. This seems to be something that historians overlook.
It is not clear how long he was without a job but he must have been very disillusioned.
His generation had been born during the 1st World War lived through the depression of the nineteen thirties and fought in the 2nd World War. Not a great time to be growing up.
After release from full time service he was appointed to a TA commission in the rank of Captain.
See attached MOD papers for full details of his TA posting.
Captain John Henry Cullinane
2nd from left back row
I worked with a member of the TA in the Welsh Water Authority. He remembers an incident with JHC when they were doing one of their compulsory hikes across the Brecon Beacons when a mist came down. Despite the mist they kept going along the track. JHC suddenly told them all to stop and sit down where they were. After some time when the mist cleared they saw that they were just a few feet from the edge of a cliff.
Reference books.
#1. Welsh Guards at War by Major L. F. Ellis 1946
I found an order form for this book in the brown box. Dad had completed the form (in 1947) but had not posted it. I searched on the Amazon antique book site and found a copy and bought it. When it arrived it had come from the antique bookshop in Tintern.

Radio Bristol this morning featured a man with a background of both an appreciation of blues music from the cotton plantations in America and an interest in local history. He has been inspired, by work done by Barton Hill History Society, to devise a musical community play entitled "King Cotton", based on the history of the Great Western Cotton Factory, where your predecessor Mr. Cullinane was a foreman. This fellow explained in a radio interview how this huge factory was built on a greenfield site at Barton Hill which was originally an area of orchards and market gardens (hence the 'local' "Rhubarb Tavern") and completely changed the nature of the area and of the inhabitants.
Capital for the project was supplied by ten men who had profited from the slave trade and the West Indies and aimed, after slavery, to continue here the work they had done in America.
Factory life ibn Barton Hill was pretty strict with mostly women working from 6 to 6 daily and 6-12 mid-day on Saturdays. One chap of 90-odd years, Wally Ball, rang in to say he remembered as a small boy being allowed to go with his mother to her workplace, with something like 1,000 women in a huge hall full of huge cast-iron shuttle machines, many, as was his mother, looking after up to 6 machines each. Dad will remember the road where he lived, Russeltown Avenue (which was originally called Dean Lane but was changed to distinguish it from the Dean Lane in Bedminster). The average employee total at the factory was usually around 1,200 to 1,800 and even up to 2,000.
Finally, of course, due to the American cotton famine caused by boll weevil, and growing competition from Liverpool where access to the port was easier and so Port Charges were not so high, the Great Western project was never able fully to recover again.
G.E.C. (General Electric Co.) were the last to use the factory premises, as a warehouse depot, before it was demolished. It was mentioned in the interview how it was a shame that demolition was considered necessary - that 'conservation' concerns most usually the property of the privileged rich and it is working traditions that always warrant 'demolition'.

Bill was employed by Carreras Ltd. the Tobacco company, part of the Imperial Tobacco Company Ltd. which went on to become part of British American Tobacco Plc. There are photos of him in Calcutta where Carreras had their sub-continental base, though it is not known whether he spent a significant amount of time in the sub-continent.
Apparently Bill went slightly "astray" psychologically speaking at one point, he bought lavish Xmas presents for all family children in 1958. One such child remembers receiving a (very expensive) No.8 meccano set though he had never met him! | William CULLINANE

Rebecca (74) a Dressmaker, appears on the 1861 census for Fleet with her niece?! Mary Harris? (10) a scholar. A John and Hannah Harris live nearby and are also on the census.

Only DAMON record for 1789 in Fleet is for birth of Jane DAMON. Interestingly though her mother is Rebecca. And the names Jane/ Rebecca/ John in the record (below) all reappear as names of our Rebecca's children. Could our Rebecca have been "Jane Rebecca" but just gone by the name of Rebecca as suggested by Brenda in 06/05?
Here is the record... British Isles VRI CD has:
DAMON, Jane Christening
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 29 Nov 1789 Recorded in: Fleet, Dorset, England
Father: John DAMON
Mother: Rebecca
Source: FHL Film 1279496 Dates: 1776 - 1804
And if though christened "Jane" she did go by the name of Rebecca (her mother's name) maybe that became accepted so much so that her parents also christened their next daughter "Jane" - presumably to actually be known as "Jane".
If this proves to be true then these are the rest of her siblings:
DAMON, Sarah Chr 1779 Engl Dors Fleet
Fa: John DAMON
Mo: Rebecca
DAMON, Christopher Chr 1781 Engl Dors Fleet
Fa: John DAMON
Mo: Rebecca
DAMON, John Chr 1783 Engl Dors Fleet
Fa: John DAMON
Mo: Rebecca
DAMON, Jane Chr 1789 Engl Dors Fleet

DAMMON, Henry Chr 1792 Engl Dors Fleet

Mo: Rebecca
DAMON, Jane Chr 1793 Engl Dors Fleet
Fa: John DAMON
Mo: Rebecca
DAMMON, Martha Chr 1797 Engl Dors Fleet
Fa: John DAMMON
Mo: Rebecca
A Sarah DAMON (who would be the right sort of age match to the Sarah DAMON in the above list) had a child in 1801 in Fleet, but no father is recorded:
DAMON, Augustin Chr 1801 Engl Dors Fleet
Fa:
Mo: Sarah DAMON
Also still a few DAMONs in Fleet 30 years later but no connection can be established at this time?.

Evidence unearthed by Brenda
G'day Mark,
I've been taken a look at the Damon entries on the Familysearch IGI website and came across a few entries that I'd passed over previously. There are 3 christenings at Fleet for daughters of a John & Rebecca Damon.
Sarah Damon - Gender: Female Christening: 03 JAN 1779 Fleet, Dorset, England
Jane Damon - Gender: Female Christening: Christening: 29 NOV 1789 Fleet, Dorset, England
Martha Damon - Gender: Female Christening: 12 FEB 1797 Fleet, Dorset, England
As Francis Stanton's marriage certifcate named his mother Rebecca Damon I have disqualitied this Jane Damon's christening previously but am now thinking this may well be Rebecca's christening.
I have come across other individuals who were baptised with one name but who went by another and this may well be the case with Rebecca. Yes - she was clearly named Rebecca on her's and Jacob's headstone but the Christening year of 1789 matches with her age of 80 in 1869 upon her death.
I'd appreciate your opinon on this. cheers, Brenda brendaatozramp net au

Speculation that Rebeccas surname may have been "Damon" "Darmon" or "Dammon?".
Email from Brian Woolaston: "I have searched high and low for a marriage for Jacob and Rebecca without success, not helped by the fact that for the year when I thought that their marriage took place, the Fleet registers appear to be missing. Also my attempts at deducing who Rebecca was suggest that she was Rebecca Damon rather than Rebecca Read."
"Also, I think that Jacob and Rebecca had three other children to those listed - Mary b.1805, Elizabeth b. 1807 and Henry b. 1820."

YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIAL
Cemetery: YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIALIeper, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium
Grave or Reference Panel Number: Panel 46 - 48 and 50
Location: Ypres (now Ieper) is a town in the Province of West Flanders. The Memorial is situated at the eastern side of the town on the road to Menin (Menen) and Courtrai (Kortrijk). Each night at 8 pm the traffic is stopped at the Menin Gate while members of the local Fire Brigade sound the Last Post in the roadway under the Memorial's arches.
Visiting Information: The Panel Numbers quoted at the end of each entry relate to the panels dedicated to the Regiment served with. In some instances where a casualty is recorded as attached to another Regiment, his name may alternatively appear within their Regimental Panels. Please refer to the on-site Memorial Register Introduction to determine the alternative panel numbers if you do not find the name within the quoted Panels.
Historical Information: The Menin Gate is one of four memorials to the missing in Belgian Flanders which cover the area known as the Ypres Salient. Broadly speaking, the Salient stretched from Langemarck in the north to the northern edge in Ploegsteert Wood in the south, but it varied in area and shape throughout the war. The Salient was formed during the First Battle of Ypres in October and November 1914, when a small British Expeditionary Force succeeded in securing the town before the onset of winter, pushing the German forces back to the Passchendaele Ridge. The Second Battle of Ypres began in April 1915 when the Germans released poison gas into the Allied lines north of Ypres. This was the first time gas had been used by either side and the violence of the attack forced an Allied withdrawal and a shortening of the line of defence. There was little more significant activity on this front until 1917, when in the Third Battle of Ypres an offensive was mounted by Commonwealth forces to divert German attention from a weakened French front further south. The initial attempt in June to dislodge the Germans from the Messines Ridge was a complete success, but the main assault north-eastward, which began at the end of July, quickly became a dogged struggle against determined opposition and the rapidly deteriorating weather. The campaign finally came to a close in November with the capture of Passchendaele. The German offensive of March 1918 met with some initial success, but was eventually checked and repulsed in a combined effort by the Allies in September. The battles of the Ypres Salient claimed many lives on both sides and it quickly became clear that the commemoration of members of the Commonwealth forces with no known grave would have to be divided between several different sites. The site of the Menin Gate was chosen because of the hundreds of thousands of men who passed through it on their way to the battlefields. It commemorates those of all Commonwealth nations except New Zealand who died in the Salient before 16 August 1917. Those United Kingdom and New Zealand servicemen who died after that date are named on the memorial at Tyne Cot, a site which marks the furthest point reached by Commonwealth forces in Belgium until nearly the end of the war. Other New Zealand casualties are commemorated on memorials at Buttes New British Cemetery and Messines Ridge British Cemetery. The YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIAL now bears the names of more than 54,000 officers and men whose graves are not known. The memorial, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield with sculpture by Sir William Reid-Dick, was unveiled by Lord Plumer in July 1927. | Albert Louis DAVIS

Account from Mervyn of staying with "Aunt Deb" and family ("Essex Street Relatives") while his mother Annie May HEATH was in hospital due to a car accident! (See notes for Annie May.
"Luckily Dad was not injured and I think he was able to look after Ron and Cliff (my older brothers) at home, but arrangements were made for me to stay with Mother’s aunt, my great-aunt Deb, who lived in Essex Street, Bedminster.
Other than being in hospital myself (for tonsils or something), this was the first time I had been away from home without my parents, but Aunt Deb, apart from being very small, and very old and wizened, was also very kind and welcoming and her family made a great fuss of me. I had never known Aunt Deb’s husband, Samuel Charles Heath (my grandfather’s brother), who had died many years before my visit. Apparently he had been a Registered Dairyman in Essex Street, Bedminster, where they lived, since their marriage in 1892 and she had finally taken the business over from him until 1918. Now she was living in retirement with a son and daughter. I still happily recall them all:
At home there was Victor Emmanuel, unmarried, then 30ish, a postman after retirement from service in the Merchant Navy. There was also Dora, younger and jolly, and working at Wills’ cigarette factory in Bedminster. The eldest son, Edwin Charles, I think was married and living in his own accommodation by then, as were Arthur and Sydney. (Edwin I think was married to ‘Glad’ [Gladys]?). ‘Syd’, I remember well, was married to ‘Beat’ [Beatrice]; he was a Rep. for ‘George’s’ (later ‘Courage’) Breweries and apparently had developed the propensity for proving his loyalty to the Company by testing the alcoholic content of its output with every customer he would visit during his working day (much like his uncle, William Charles, my grandfather, who had been a steward with Campbell’s White Funnel Channel steamers - but surely Syd was not quite so brutal to his family as he!). (Syd and Beat later had a son, Brian) I once met Arthur, and later his wife (Laura, I believe she was), and thought them both very nice - I remember at some time they opened a Milk or Sandwich bar in High Street (in the middle of town) for a while. Apart from the pleasure of my meeting previously unknown relatives and giving my Mum a bit of a rest, I enjoyed my week or two with my Essex Street relatives, but, even more so, I was happy to be able to come home and have my brothers to annoy and occasionally argue with once again . . . ."
