For the previous four days the British Artillery had been bombarding the German trenches.
Every man in the Brigade was aware that the opening of the offensive was very close.
Before setting off for the front line men wrote what could be their last letters home.
However the date and time of attack was to be delayed by forty eight hours.
Heavy summer rain had fallen on the 26th and 27th there was a great possibility of flooding. On the 28th June the decision was taken to postpone the attack.

Pte. Sidney Beardmore MM. 16th (1st Battalion Bradford Pals) Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment Sidney Beardmore originally enlisted with 16th West Yorkshire Regiment (1st Battalion Bradford Pals) as private 16/1103. He departed from Liverpool in December 1915 after a year of basic training as part of the 93rd Brigade. They sailed on the Empress of Britain a Canadian steamship and docked at Port Said on 22nd December 1915 with orders to protect the Suez Canal. However as this theatre of the war was quiet the 93rd Brigade was ordered to France, departing Egypt 1st March 1916. The Brigade disembarked at Marseilles 6th March and traveled to their destination of Bertrancourt arriving 29th March. The time between then and 1st July was taken with preparations for the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Private Sidney Beardmore took part on the attack of Serre on 1st July when the Pals Battalions were virtually wiped out in the bloodiest day of the war for the British Army.
Sidney remained with the 16th West Yorkshire Regiment until the Battalion was disbanded in France in February 1918. He transferred to 13th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers and continued to act as a regimental stretcher bearer. During 1918 the 12th/13th Battalion were in the thick of the action first defending against the German "Spring Offensive" and then as part of the "100 Day Offensive" pushing the German Army back to the German border. Sidney was exceptionally busy as stretcher bearer and first-aider when the fighting of 1918 became open warfare. The Battalion suffered hundreds of casualties and Sidney was rescuing wounded comrades during periods of heavy fighting risking his own safety. He was wounded 18th September 1918 and returned to England for convalescence at Beacowood VAD hospital, Rednal, Worcestershire. He was awarded the Military Medal for his devotion to duty repeatedly rescuing comrades under fire. (Gazette issue number 31142 MM, Gazette date 21/1/19 page 1216). Sidney returned to France just prior to Armistice Day, ending the war with 25th Battalion Northumberland fusiliers who were located protecting lines of communication at Aumale. He ended the war as A.R. Class Z still a private.

Pte. Henry Westcott 25th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers (d.28th Apr 1917) Harry Westcott was the husband of Mary Jane 'Jenny' Westcott (nee Elliott) and she was my maternal grandmother's first cousin so this makes 'Uncle Harry' and 'Auntie Jenny' my third cousins.
Harry's parents were Tom and Rhoda Westcott who, at the time of Harry's death, lived at 1 Orchard View, Taunton, Somerset. Uncle Harry and Auntie Jenny's home was 15 Faulkland Road, Oldfield Park, Bath, Somerset and Auntie Jenny and my grandmother originated from the Swansea area.
Harry died, aged 33, on 28 April 1917 in France and he is Remembered with Honour at the Arras Memorial. Sadly, Harry never saw his first child, Queenie. She grew up, never married and continued to live with her mother in Bath. Queenie died at the age of 44, before her mother. Auntie Jenny continued to live in Bath and died on 8 March 1968, aged 84.
Throughout their lives, Auntie Jenny and Queenie stayed close with my grandparents. They often came to stay at the farm near Banwell, Somerset and likewise they were visited in Bath by our family, myself included.
With the deaths of Uncle Harry, Auntie Jenny and Queenie, it is the end of their line as there were no other children. Therefore, I feel it is even more important to preserve their memory.
Last week we visited The Tower of London and were overwhelmed by the beautiful poppy display, knowing that one of these poppies represents Harry. It was good to be there with thousands of other people to pay our respects and say a prayer. We are thankful to everyone who gave their lives, or survived, in conflict and, in Harry's memory, we purchased one of the poppies.
I am still looking for more information or photographs and I hope to be able to add them in the near future. If anyone else can help, that would be wonderful. Thank you for this opportunity to share our story and memories of Harry.
