Back to the Western Front tomorrow, this time to the area around Ypres, in the footsteps of my paternal grandfather, A.B. Francis Wynn Jones of the Nelson Battalion, the Royal Naval Division. The estimable @sommecourt my guide.
It sucks when they misprinted the name of your beloved battalion #Gallipoli #FWW Royal Naval Division "Home" 🤣Battalion "C" Company
I honestly didn't see the "no photography" sign in the Lord Ashcroft gallery at the Imperial War Museum until we exited! George Prowse VC enlisted while living & working in Swansea. There wasn't a ship for him so he ended up in the Royal Naval Division.
@WW1RND @JonathanWoodhe2 @richardvanemden Another brave man. The convoys were so necessary and so dangerous.
@richardvanemden The oldest age I’ve seen on a @CWGC headstone is 75! Lt Herbert Warington Smyth, a mining engineer, writer, lawyer, and naval officer who served in #WW1 & #WW2, and died in 1943. Younger brother, Nevill Maskelyne Smyth, was award a VC at Omdurman. 📍Mawnan Churchyard, Cornwall
Militaria time. A lovely coloured photo of men from the Royal Marine Artillery in Flanders. They crewed Churchills Folly, the 15” howitzer. Hated by the Army and almost obsolete when introduced. A beast to fire. Also a 05 pattern cap as worn by a member of that unit. And…..
Remembering the 107 men of the Anson Battalion, the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division killed in the attack on Beaucourt-sur-Ancre on 13/11/1916. Among them was Gallipoli veteran Surgeon-Lt. Charles Humphry Gow (pictured), who is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial. #UnbrokenGlory

The first twist was that he was sent to the front as infantry, part of the Royal Naval Division fighting in the desperate defence of Antwerp. With 1,400 RND comrades, Howard escaped to Holland and was interned. Here are some @63rdRNDivision men near Antwerp, 7 Oct 1914 (c)IWM

@WW1RND Not immediately to hand, but will check
1/2. This is Francis Henry Tebbutt. Killed on this day 107 years ago serving with The Nelson Battalion, Royal Naval Division. . They attacked above the Ancre on the Somme in thick mist. He is buried in the Ancre British Cemetery. More….
2/2. He is a relative. I knew his brother Robert. He told me how he remembered Francis carrying him on his shoulders as he left for war never to return. Robert served in WW2 in Africa, Italy and the former Yugoslavia. Remembered today as always.
