Coldstream Guards My great-grandfather Harold Shipman served during WW1. He joined The Coldstream Guards on 28th of September 1914 and joined the 4th Battalion at Caterham on 1st of October 1914. After completing his basic training, he was posted to the 3rd Battalion, Coldstream Guards and embarked from Southampton on 7th of April 1915. He went into the trenches at Windy Corner around Givenchy, his battalion relieving the 1st Battalion, Hertfordshire Regiment. On 27th of July 1915, he was appointed Acting/Lance Corporal, then on 30th fo July 1915, whilst in the front line at Givenchy, he received a gunshot wound to the left leg. On 6th of August 1915, he returned to the front line and on 1st of December 1915 was appointed paid Lance Corporal. From 27/8/16 to 10/9/16, he was attached to the 183rd Field Coy., Royal Engineers, this was a tunnelling company on the Somme front.On 1/10/16, he was promoted to Corporal and appointed Lance Sergeant and on 14/12/16, we was attached to a works battalion in the field. On 2/3/17, he joined the 2nd Battalion, Coldstream Guards and was attached to the 75th Field Coy., Royal Engineers. On 18th of June 1917, he was wounded in action, sustaining a high-explosive wound to his back and right thigh during the Battle of Pilckem Ridge. This was opening attack of the Third Battle of Ypres, which later became known as Passchendaele. The battle began at 0350 hours on 31st of July 1917. He was transferred to a field hospital by the 3rd Field Ambulance on 1/8/17 and then on to a General Hospital in Etaples on 2/8/17. On 9/8/17, he transferred to hospital in England. On 21/8/17, he was posted to the 5th Battalion, Coldstream Guards at Windsor. On 30/9/17, he transferred to London Command Depot, Seaford. On 28/1/18, he transferred to reserve unit Shoreham.

Shipman Add to this record.   Pte. William E. Basketfield 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.11th October 1917) William Basketfield served with the 3rd Battalion, Coldstream Guards in WW1. He died 11th of October 1917 aged 24 years and is remembered on the Tyne Cot Memorial in Belgium. Son of William and Mary Anna Basketfield of Coventry Road, Coleshill, Birmingham. His brother Arthur Oliver Allan also fell. Add to this record.   Pte. Peter Frances Bartle 3rd Battlion Coldstream Guards (d.5th February 1915) Peter Francis Bartle died of wounds received in action on the 5th of February 1915 at Bethune, France. G. Campbell Add to this record.   Gdsmn. Harold "Wingy" Whitehouse 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards Harold Whitehouse was a promising footballer who had played for his local town of Chesterfield (his nickname came from this, he played on the wing, hence Wingy). He worked as a labourer at Ireland Colliery, Staveley, Derbyshire. Harold initially signed up in Staveley on his way back home from work. He was allocated to The King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry but later, on the advice of a friend, he transferred to the Coldstream Guards. Being under the required height, only 5 feet 10 inches, the muster sergeant told him to stand at the back of the squad on his tiptoes and he was in. Whilst on guard in one of the halls at Windsor Castle a chap in tennis whites strolled past him. Harold thought no more of it until two rather hefty, tall military policemen stood one either side of him, lifted him by the armpits and marched him off to peel spuds for what seemed an age. His first crime was not to recognise the Prince of Wales and the second was not to salute him. Whilst on leave back home he married on 4th of September 1918 then went back to war. He ending up billeted in Koln, Barbarossaplatz und Hohenstaufenring after the war, sending postcards of Koln on the 18th and 21st December 1918. He would very rarely talk about the war. One story he told was that a friend did him a favour and went to fetch ammunition that Harold was about to fetch, but his mate never returned and was presumed dead. My uncle related another rare story told by his father that a football saved his dad's life. In a match before a big advance Harold was badly injured in the game and was deemed unfit for action. In the following battle a lot of his friends and comrades were slaughtered. Another story Pop told his son was when he came home on leave after being in the trenches and he and other local soldiers had to strip in Renishaw School yard to be deloused. Harold was transferred to the reserves on 6th February 1919 and was to report back to Windsor in case of emergency. He then came home and went back to Ireland Colliery. He had a family of eight, but his first-born, a daughter, died a few months after birth in 1920. In the village he was respected and regarded as a bit of a wise man. In WWII he used roll up at home with soldiers he came across, hanging around the local railway station waiting for transport trains. He gave them food and drink as he knew what they might have to face. I can still see him now, always smartly dressed even though in his everyday clothes. He would sit in his armchair near the coals burning in the Yorkshire range grate, contemplating his life, the horrors he had witnessed and the many losses. He was always smartly dressed even in his casuals. Belt and braces, waistcoat over a checked shirt, flat cap, corded trousers, woolly socks up to just below the knee, very clean boots, spectacles perched on the end of his nose. His right hand holding and puffing on a pipe tobacco. The thumb of his left hand would be just inside his left nostril and his index finger gently stroking the outside of his nose. He never had or wanted a TV but listened to the radio. He was a keen gardener and pigeon racer. He died in 1975 after an eventful life. Old soldiers never die but march on to oblivion. R.I.P. John Whitehouse Add to this record.   Pte. Edward Alfred Brown 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards Alf Brown served with the 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards. Janet Brown Add to this record.   Pte. Thomas Ellis 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.1st Dec 1917) Thomas Ellis was my paternal grandfather, about whom I new nothing until three weeks ago. I have his service records from the Coldstream Guards, and his burial details from the CWGC. He died at the battle of Cambrai, during the German counter offensive, on 1st of December 1917, age 28. He is commemorated at Gouzeaucourt New British Cemetery, and my wife and I are due to visit his grave in a little over four months time. It will be emotionally difficult, but no more than he deserves. He will not be forgotten. Stephen Ellis Add to this record.   Pte. George William Trumpess 3rd Battalion Coldstream Guards (d.16th January 1918) Taken from newspaper report following his death: "Pte G.W. Trumpess, of the Coldstream Guards, son of Mr and Mrs George Trumpess of 4 Albany-terrace, Chase Street, Wisbech was killed in action in France on Jan 16th. The deceased soldier, who was 19 years of age, was buried by a shell in the front line on his first night there. Amongst several letters received by Mrs Trumpess we extract the following: A.H. Collier writes: "I really don't know how to write you, for it was such a big blow to me when I heard of George's death, but, of course, that is nothing in comparison to what it must be to his loved ones. He met his death on his first night in the line, just as he was passing along to his post. It was a minnewaufer that came over, and three were killed at the same time". Second-Lieut Ronald Griffin writes "Pte G. W. Trumpess was buried by a shell while in the front line. He must have died instantaneously and quite without pain, as the trench fell in completely. His death is a great loss to his comrades and officers, as he was one of the best soldiers and most popular men we had". The late Pte George Trumpess joined up on Feb. 15th of last year, and went out to France at the end of October. In civil life he worked as a shoemaker for Mr Ward, Norfolk-street, and after that establishment was closed was employed with Mr Kingston's Blackfriars Bridge." Lynne Pavey Add to this record.   Pte. Frederick William Lawrence 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards Frederick Lawrence is my grandad. He did not speak of WW1 except to answer my question upon returning from a holiday in Spain in 1965, "Have you ever been abroad Grandad?", to which he replied "Only once and I didn't much care for it!" He became a mounted policeman in Liverpool and died in 1978 at the age of 83. Alan J. Lawrence Add to this record.   Pte Bernard Richard Lowe 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.15th Sep 1916) I am told that my Great Grandfather Bernard Lowe's army records state that he died in Mons on 15th Sept 1916 but Mons was occupied by the Germans on that date. I have been to Mons today and verified that fact. Yesterday I went to Albert on the Somme where on the 15th September 1916 there was a big offensive at Ginchy, apparently involving The Guards. I have seen Bernard's name on the monument at Thiepval. I have his picture in uniform. Editor's Note: Bernard's battalion fought at Mons in 1914, perhaps someone has confused this with his death during the Battle of the Somme? Gilly Appleton Add to this record.   Pte. Thomas Johnson 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.13th April 1918) Thomas Johnson was born in Black Bourton, Clanfield, Oxfordshire in 1893. He was the son of Thomas and Ester. In 1915 he worked as a railway porter for the London and South Western Railway at Templecombe. He was 6 foot 1 1/2 according to records. He married Violet Kate Burrows on 17th March 1917. She was originally from Gloucestershire but they met in Black Bourton when she worked as a domestic servant. Five days after their marriage Thomas was released for military service from the railway. On 25th December 1917 their son Thomas Henry was born. On 13th April 1918 Thomas was listed as missing presumed killed in action. His name is on the Victory Arch at Waterloo Station. R. Bullock Add to this record.   Pte. Richard James Pryce 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.13th April 1918) My great uncle Richard Pryce was the only boy of a family of eight children. I visited his grave in May 1915 at beautiful kept cemetery in Vieux-Berquin in France. Joan Pritchard Add to this record.   Pte. James Green 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.15th Sep 1916) James Green was the son of Thomas and Emma Green and was born in Great Bardfield, Essex. He was the husband of Florence, with whom he lived in Leyton, Essex. He died during the Battle of the Somme and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial in France. He served with the 3rd battalion, Coldstream Guards. Ruth Walker Add to this record.   Capt. Charles Henry Stanley Monck 3rd Btn., 3rd Coy. Coldstream Guards (d.21st Oct 1914) Charles Monck fought at the Battle of Landrecies, 25th-26th August 1914 and is mentioned on page 90 of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The British Campaign in France and Flanders". Charles was killed at the First Battle of Ypres on 21st October 1914. Charlie Monck Add to this record.    John Albert Green 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards I have a photo of my mothers father John Albert Green from Burnley Lancashire England who was on the front with horses collecting the dead and injured. He was in Sgt Tropman's squad Coldstream Guards the photo was taken November 1916. He died when my mother was 13 in 1926. I would love any information on his service Robyne Neal Add to this record.   Pte. Arnold Evans 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards My Grandfather Arnold Evans enlisted on the 14th of November 1914 as Private 20159 along with the following:- 20160 Pte. Albert G Whitlock 20162 Pte. Leonard Benson 20164 Pte. John Brown 20165 Pte. William Strong 20166 Pte. John B Turnbull 20167 Pte. George Collins 20169 Pte. Wilfred Laine 20170 Pte. William Greenfield 20171 Pte. Herbert E.L Bridger Myra Mason Add to this record.   L/Sgt. Herbert Wyer 3rd Battalion Coldstream Guards (d.2nd November 1914) My husband's great uncle, L/Serjeant Herbert Wyer, only came to our notice about 6 months ago. We are desperately trying to piece together the last part of his life. He was the son of Mr and Mrs John Wyer of Carbrooke, Watton, Norfolk. The husband of Annie Louisa Wyer of 217 Wandsworth Bridge Road, Fulham, London. We just know that he was killed in action on 2nd November, 1914 and is commemorated at Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, Lleper, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium. He is also remembered on the WW1 memorial in the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, London as he worked there as a warder/cleaner earning £72 16s per annum! We would love to know where exactly he was killed, was it perhaps Polygon Wood, Reutel? As I think the Coldstream Guards were at the First Battle of Ypres. Does anyone know if there is the possibility of a photograph being on the Guards records? To put a face to this brave man would be lovely. Linda Fuller Add to this record.   Pte. Henry Mason MM. 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.17th Jan 1918) My grandfather Henry Mason joined up aged 30 in November 1914 at Nelson, Lancashire. He was married, with five children aged under 7, and was inducted for training at Caterham shortly after his enlistment. He was posted to France on June 11th 1915. He was killed aged 33 (died of wounds) following a gas attack. I am unaware of which battles he took part in although I have found a record, in the company diary, of an engagement on the date he lost his life which I assume relates to this attack. The location of the death is recorded as Fampoux some 3 1/2 miles west of Arras. He is buried in the Level Crossing Cemetery at Railway Crossing, Fampoux, which I have visited. I always assumed his MM was awarded for some action he took over this incident. However, earlier this year having contacted a local history society, in Burnley, they were able to supply a newspaper cutting of an interview with his widow (my grandmother) which indicated it was for some other action whilst in temporary charge of a patrol at the end of 1917. Unfortunately I have no other details. I have photographs of my grandfather in dress uniform and with a group of other volunteers at a training venue. Editor's Note:- Private Mason was born in Manchester in 1884, the son of Henry and Isabella Mason, of Darwen, Lancashire, and the husband of Kezia Mason, of 38A Cherry Tree Terrace, Wheatley Lane, Fence, Burnley. A veteran of the Battle of Loos in 1915, the Somme in 1916 and the 3rd Battle of Ypres and Cambrai in 1917, he died of gas poisoning in a field ambulance near Fampoux. At the time of his death, news had just been received that he was to be awarded the Military Medal for actions near Cambrai on December 1st 1917. Keith Mason Add to this record.   Sgt. James Kenneth Gamble LS, GC. 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards My Grandfather Ken Gamble joined the 3rd Battalion, Coldstream Guards on 20th January 1913 his regimental no was 9951, he became qualified in drill, rifle, lewis gun maxim gun and map reading. He served on the home front util 13th August 1914 when he left for France disembarking at Le Harve as far as I am aware they moved up to Mons fort a rearguard action in the retreat from Mons and fought in the battle of Marne. He fought in France until early 1916 when he was wounded and then served on the home front from 2nd February 1916 till 21st September 1922, when he served in Turkey for twelve months coming home in 1923. He continued in the Coldstreams till discharged on 12th December 1933. During his service he received the 1914/18 Star, British war victory, long service and good conduct medals. On leaving the army he and some palls formed the Wigston Branch branch of the British Legion and used to meet in his front room till they purchased the current British Legion Club in Wigston. Sadly my Grandfather died when I was 11 or 12 I still miss him to this day he was a wonderful man. I still have his medals and his soldiers Service book and pay book plus his Soldiers Small Book I can't believe they are 100 years old. Francis Kempster Add to this record.   Pte. Mark Lockwood 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards (d.9th Sep 1914) My Great-Uncle Mark Lockwood served with the 3rd Battalion, Coldstream Guards.
