Private 231043
Son of Harry and Anna Bella Baldwin, of 3, Devonshire Cottages, Banstead, Surrey.
London Regiment (Royal Fusiliers)2nd Bn.
Secondary Regiment: London Regiment (The Rangers) attd. 12th Bn.
Died 28-February-1917 aged 24
The following account is taken from one surviving page of the All Saints Banstead Parish Magazine which was retained by a relative :
PTE. JOHN HENRY BALDWIN joined the London Regiment soon after war broke out. He had from the outset a strenuous experience. He served three months at the Dardanelles, and saw much terrible fighting, but came through all safely, being one of the force which took part in that skillful but melancholy evacuation.
He spent a short time in Egypt,and then was sent to France, where he was soon in the thick of it again. In the Battle of the Somme last July he was wounded and taken prisoner by the Germans.
A letter from a fellow prisoner, an Australian, has just been received, reporting the sad news of his death at the camp of the prisoners-of-war at Langensabya, in Turingia, in Germany. It says that the German doctor did all that was possible to relieve his sufferings but he died of disease which evidently he contracted in camp. He has done his duty manfully and has now joined many another hero in the unseen spiritual world, where fighting is no more. May the Risen Prince of Peace give him eternal rest.

Private G/5193
The Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment)
2nd Battalion
Son of John who was a Farrier/Blacksmith and Mary Bates.
Died Saturday 1-July-1916 aged 22
Harry's medals still remain with the family.
The 1914-1915 Star, The British War Medal and The Victory Medal.
Harry Bates was born on the 8th July 1893 in Teddington, Middlesex, and died on the first day of the battle of the Somme just a few days before his 23rd birthday. Harry had two older brothers, George and Albert, and a sister, Caroline (Kit) Bates.
Kit always remembered pushing Harry in a pram in 1894 in Richmond Park when there were celebrations for the birth of Prince Edward later Duke of Windsor. Kit also recalls how when Harry began to walk, her father made him a wooden go-cart with two wheels from the old pram. Later father also bought a goat for five shillings. Harry's brothers, George and Albert built a carriage for the goat to pull, and sitting in this cart, Harry took part in a procession to celebrate the relief of Mafeking in May 1900 during the Boer War.
Kit married Will Tree who was an illustrator for Fulham and sometimes Arsenal Football Clubs. For one particular programme, he drew the young Harry Bates, who posed for it, wearing shorts and shirt in the Club colours, and with one foot resting on the football.
Harry often sent postcards
and a few are shown here.
The first to Friends
Vi and George from
Edith Villa, Diceland Rd., Banstead, Surrey
Dear Vi & George, just a time to let you know I spent a very happy Xmas. I went home to Mums & Georges Place & on Saturday I went to Albert's Girl Place her sister got married so they insisted me up. I very sorry I could not spend Xmas with you but I could not quite manage it. Bill, Kit & baby are quite well with love wish you a Happy New Year Harry.
On the other side of the card shows pictures of Red Indians and the message reads Wishing you both a prosperous New year 1914. from Harry to Vie and George
In Xmas 1914 Harry was lodging with his sister Kit (Caroline Amelia Tree nee Bates) and her husband Thomas William Tree (Will) and daughter Violet and baby Dorothy.
On the 22nd March 1915, at the age of twenty-one, Harry enlisted at Kingston and his address was recorded as 71 High Street Hampton Wick, just down the road from Teddington. His attestation is shown in the East Surrey recruitment register where he was described as five feet one and three quarter inches tall, weighing one hundred and eleven pounds and having a 34 inch chest. He was assigned to the Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment.
The Queen's regimental badge is one of those which incorporate symbols quite unique to one unit, in this case, the distinctive Paschal Lamb of the old 2nd (Queen's Royal) Regiment of Foot, which in 1881 became the Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment. In its conventional form it is represented as a lamb with a halo above its head, supporting over one shoulder a flag bearing the red cross of St. George,upon a white field. The photo shows Harry's actual badge which has survived in top class condition.
Harry continued to send postcards and the next cards
were sent from France when he was with his regiment with the British
Expeditionary Force (BEF).
Here's wishing you
both a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year To Kit & Will from Harry
5193 Pt H Bates . (This was probably Christmas 1915)
My
Dear little Via, Just a card for you to keep as a souvenir of "Le Guere"
& to let you know that I am keeping in the best of health as I hope
you are with love from your ever loving Uncle Harry XXXXXXX XXXX for
Baby
The card was addressed to Miss Via Tree, Edith
Villa, Diceland Rd., Banstead, Surrey, England
His niece Violet
was just four years old in 1915. The baby was Dorothy born in 1914.
His sister Kit must have replied, as indicated by Harry's next
card. 
Dear
Kit just another souvenir card of "Le Guere" as you seemed so pleased with
the last one with fondest regards from your ever loving Brother Harry.
Another card sent from the trenches reads
Dear Kit Just a card to let you know that I
came through the large quite safe & well & I hope it will find you
the same. My best regards to you all at home. kisses for Via & baby. I
am writing to him also to Alice for the Parcel & the Red Mag have
wrote to Mum & am writing to George & Em and I have had a letter
from them will let you have a letter as soon as possible but have not had
much time so far as we have been in & out of trenches constantly. Well
dear Kit & Will goodbye for the pres. From your loving Brother Harry
(from Pt H Bates, A coy 5193, 2nd Bat Queen's R W S, B E F, France)
The cards were normally issued to the troops with a
space for messages on one side and an illustration on the other.
Uncle Harry, as he was known always remembered young Violet and in
later years she recalled the time when he and her family moved to
Banstead.
"My parents moved to Banstead (60 Diceland Road) when I
was two-and-a- half and my Uncle Harry, who had been living with us, I
believe came separately with the furniture on a horse and cart. Uncle
Harry was given the chance to be an apprentice carpenter and joiner under
Mr Alec Rogers who lived next to the workshops."
"Dad and Uncle
Harry were called up to go in the army. I was the eldest of the family and
so the only one who met Mum's young brother, Uncle Harry. I can't picture
him now, but remember standing on my bed while Mum helped me to get
dressed and brushed my hair, saying "Poor Uncle Harry is dead", with tears
pouring down her cheeks. He was so young." 
A Great War Parchment Memorial Scroll
was awarded by the king to recognise the sacrifice made by the fallen.
Each one was personalized and this image is the actual scroll
issued in Harry's name.
The photo on the left
shows Harry's inscription on the Thiepval Memorial and the wooden panel is

2nd Battalion notes - draft
only
The 2nd Battalion returned to England on l9th September 1914 and
landed at Zeebrugge as part of 7th Division in early October. By the 1st
November 1914 during the First Battle of Ypres, the 2nd Battalion , had
suffered 676 casualties.
The 1st Battalion was at Mons, the first
battle of the war and took part in the retreat, covering 136 miles in
thirteen days of hard fighting. After the battles of Mons and the Aisne,
it fought the First Battle of Ypres; two days previously on 29th October,
it had been joined by the 2nd Battalion withdrawing from Antwerp and that
night the two battalions held a sector of the line side by side.
The 2nd Battalion lost many men in the slaughter at Ypres in
October 1914 and in 1915 it fought the battles of Aubers Ridge, Festubert
and Loos. On 1st July 1916 the battalion captured all its objectives in
the opening moves of the Battle of the Somme, and with one short rest,
fought continuously until 16th July.
Altogether 31 battalions were
raised; the Queen s fought on nearly every front, added 73 Battle Honours
to their Colours and won four Victoria Crosses. The Regimental War
Memorial in Holy Trinity Church, Guildford is inscribed: To the glorious
memory of 8000 Officers, Warrant Officers,Non-Commissioned officers and
Men of the Queen s who gave their lives for their country in Flanders,
France, Italy, Gallipoli, Salonika, Mesopotamia, Palestine, Egypt, India,
Africa and Germany 1914-1918 .

BLUNT, GEORGE SAMUEL Private 42270
Royal Fusiliers 6th Bn.(4th City of London Regiment)
(All Saint books shows 32nd Royal Fusiliers)
Died 3-August-1917 aged 35
Son of Mr. William and Mrs. Annie Blunt, of Banstead, Surrey;
Husband of Nellie G. Blunt, of 63, Fishponds Rd., Tooting Bec Rd., London.
Prior to enlisting, George was a decorator who lived at 4 Lyme Regis Road, Banstead.
It seems likely that Private George Blunt was lost during one of the worst battles of WWl, the 1917 Battle of Passchendaele near Ypres.
Ground conditions during the whole Ypres-Passendale action were atrocious. Continuous shelling destroyed drainage canals in the area, and unseasonable heavy rain turned the whole area into a sea of mud and water-filled shell-craters. The troops walked up to the front over paths made of duckboards laid across the mud, often carrying up to one hundred pounds (45 kg) of equipment. It was possible for them to slip off the path into the craters and drown before they could be rescued. The trees were reduced to blunted trunks, the branches and leaves torn away, and the bodies of men buried after previous actions were often uncovered by the rain or later shelling.

Private 9750
East Surrey Regiment 1st Bn.
Died 15-August-1916 age 25
Arthur Boobier was the son of William James Boobier (a police constable) and his wife Annie Land who lived at Hill View, Ferndale Road, Banstead.
He was born in Poplar, Bromley, London in 1891, and at the age of 10 lived at St Mary Stratford Bow. He was a member of the Church of England and was a printer before he joined the army.
Arthur enlisted in the East Surrey Regiment, an infantry regiment, on 11 December 1908 and served in the UK until 1910 when he was posted to Burma until the end of 1914.
Following his return to Britain, he completed a transport course in which he was described as "honest, sober, intelligent, industrious and clean".
Private Boobier was posted with the British Expeditionary Force to
France on the 19 January 1915.
Arthur's unit, the 1st Battalion of
the East Surrey Regiment were involved in several famous and bloody
battles during 1915. From January to April they were in trenches in
Flanders around Armentières and Ypres and from the 19th to the 23rd of
April they were involved in the Defence of Hill 60.
From April through to June, the Battle of Ypres continued with
the battalion spending a lot of time in the trenches. In July they
transferred to Maricourt and the Somme sector and were again in the
trenches for the rest of the year and the first six months of 1916. By
this time they were in the Arras sector.
Then came the Battle of
the Somme. This was the main Allied attack on the Western Front during
1916 and was launched along a 30 kilometre front, from north of the Somme
river between Arras and Albert. 58,000 British troops were lost during the
battle, one third of them killed on the 1 July 1916, the first day of the
battle.
Private Boobier must have survived this terrible day but on the 29th of July 1916 he was wounded in the arm by a gunshot. The injury was not serious and he returned to active service soon afterwards.
On the 15th of August, he was hit again, in the chest and arm, and
this time his injuries proved to be fatal.
Arthur Boobier never
married and was survived by his parents and his sisters Beatrice, Lily,
Mabel and Edith.

BUCKLE, ARCHIE STEWART
Brigadier General
Royal Artillery 17th Division.
Died 18-August-1916 aged 47
Son of Archibald Lewis Buckle (Capt., Royal Engineers)and Louisa Catherine Buckle nee Rose.
Husband of the Mildred Louisa Buckle nee Northey.
Archie Stewart Buckle was named Archie and not Archibald Stewart Buckle who was in fact a first cousin.
Archie Stewart Buckle was born in India on the 24th of November 1868, was educated at Clifton College and was commissioned in the Royal Artillery on 17 February 1888.
In June 1898 he took
part with his battery in the Sudan expedition and was present at the
battle of Omdurman, for which he obtained the Queen's and the Khedive's
medals. By this time, British firepower included the new Maxim machine gun and at the Battle of Omdurman on 2 September 1898, an army commanded by the General Sir Horatio Kitchener, defeated the army of Abdullah al-Taashi, despite being outnumbered two-to-one by al-Taashi's forces. The Mahdists sustained casualties totalling nearly half their force at the hands of the artillery, machine-guns and trained soldiery of the British and Egyptians, who lost not even fifty men killed, and took total casualties of less than 500.
The
engagement was a clear demonstration of the superiority of a highly
disciplined European led army equipped with modern rifles and artillery
over tribesmen with older weapons, and marked the success of British
efforts to re-conquer the Sudan. For this battle the bar for Khartoum was
awarded By the end of September, Archie Buckle was gazetted captain, and went on to Aden as instructor of Gunnery. He served all through the South African war, was twice mentioned in dispatches, receiving the Queen's medals with three clasps and the King's medal with two clasps.
In 1903 he went to India as Captain of a Royal Field Artillery battery, and the following year he returned to England where he graduated at the end of 1905 having become a major in 1904.
In January 1906, he went back to India, this time as a major of a battery, which he brought home to England three years later, in January 1909. By this time he had acquired experience and expertise in the handling and issuing of explosives.
From the following June to June 1913 he acted as General Staff Officer 1st grade to to the General Commanding in South Africa. Later the same year he returned to India to command an R F A battery which he took to the front in 1914. Shortly afterwards, he was promoted lieutenant-colonel.
Archie Buckle was wounded in the face in October 1914 and invalided home.
Following his recovery, in January 1915, he was made Chief of Staff with the 19th (Western) Division, a New Army formation. Buckle deployed to France with 19th Division in July 1915 and helped plan its costly and abortive baptism of fire on 25 September in the Action at Piètre, part of the battle of Loos. The 19th Division was employed three times on the Somme in July 1916, each time as a holding division.
On 9 August Buckle was promoted brigadier-general and posted to
17th (Northern) Division as its CRA. Buckle arrived in the middle of the
battle of Delville Wood. A week after his appointment he was suddenly
taken ill and died two days later of meningitis. Archie spent all of his career in the army and was involved in numerous battles. Despite all these dangerous assignments, and his final battle at the Somme, the enemy were not the cause of his death.
All Saints Church
at Banstead houses the Buckle family vault but Archie is also inscribed on
his own family memorial in the south east section of the churchyard. The
memorial is in need of some attention and the cross no longer tops the
memorial but has been carefully laid against it (see photo). The
inscription in not clear but is still readable and it says the
following:ARCHIE STEWART BUCKLE
THEIR SON
ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADIER GENERAL
BORN 24TH NOVEMBER 1868
DIED 18TH AUGUST 1916 IN FRANCE
BATTLE OF THE SOMME
BURIED AT HEILLY
Brigadier-General Archie Stewart Buckle was married to Mildred Louisa Northey daughter of the Reverend E W Northey, of Woodcote House Epsom and had one son, Archibald Courtenay Buckle. Archie Stewart Buckle left an estate of £4749 2s 9d, a substantial sum at the time.

Archie Buckle is remembered on three War Memorials, Banstead, where the Buckle family were major land owners, Epsom, where his wife came from, and Byfleet. At the time of writing, the connection to Byfleet has yet to be established.
UPDATE 19 April 2012 - MJS who works at The Surrey History Centre and has been researching Archie Buckle found the following obituary in the Surrey Advertiser dated 2nd September 1916.
"Brig-Gen. A. S. Buckle (48), Royal Artillery, has died in France from cerebral meningitis. The deceased officer was a member of a family which formerly owned Nork House Banstead, and he married the second daughter of the late Rev. E. W. Northey, and Mrs. Northey of Woodcote House, Epsom. He served in the Soudan Expedition and in the South African war. His wife's brother, Brigadier-General Northey, is in command of the Rhodesian Force, operating in German East Africa. Brig-Gen Buckle was well known in Byfleet and until a short time ago his wife resided in Oyster-lane."
St Mary's Church at Byfleet has a number of unusual WWI memorials in the form of wooden crosses, and Archie's is inset below. His cross is the one just to the left-hand-side of the Roll of Honour located below the window (obscured in this image compilation).

BUCKLE, CUTHBERT CHARLES CORBETT
Second Lieutenant
Queen's Own (Royal West Kent
Regiment) "A" Coy. 6th Bn.
Died 3-July-1916 aged 24
Cuthbert
Buckle
was
born
in
Charlottesville,
Virginia,
USA,
on
5th
April
1892.
He
was
the
eldest
son
of
Cuthbert
and
Muriel
Buckle.
The
Buckle
family
were
major
landowners
in
Banstead
from
the
17th
Century
onwards
(Buckles
Way
is
named
after
them)
and
Cuthbert
senior
lived
in
Banstead
before
emigrating
to
America
in
1885,
where
he
established
a
dog
breeding business.
When war broke out, Cuthbert joined the Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps, a volunteer defence force. They sailed to London to do their bit for the Empire. Upon arrival in December 1914, Cuthbert attested with the Rifle Brigade but he didn't serve with his new unit for long as he was granted a commission as a 2nd lieutenant in the Queen's Own (Royal West Kent) Regiment in February 1915. He was posted to the 6th Battalion and arrived in France in October.
The 6th Royal West Kents missed the first day of the Battle of the Somme and spent the second day clearing trenches of wounded men and the dead. At 3:15am on the third day, 3rd July 1916, the leading two companies of the Royal West Kents, including the platoon led by Cuthbert, assaulted the German front line in front of the fortified village of Ovillers. They took the trench with little loss. The two supporting companies charged past them and into a "perfect hail of bullets" and the attack shuddered to a halt.
The Kentish men held on to the old German front line but were cut off from reinforcement by machine-gun fire. Cuthbert remained cheerful and kept on smiling. He displayed "conspicuous courage and disregard of safety" and disobeying orders to get down, he walked up and down the parapet directing his men's rifle fire and grenade throwing. He was shot in the head and died. Cuthbert was reported as missing and was later confirmed as killed in action. The 6th Royal West Kents lost 394 men killed, wounded or missing on that day. Only one officer from Cuthbert's company returned. Cuthbert is buried in Serre Road Cemetery No.2 and he is commemorated on the Episcopal High School memorial, the Banstead war memorial and on the wooden panels in the Lady Chapel in All Saints. He was 24.
