Royal Warwickshire Regiment It is believed that George Adams volunteered for service on the same date as his brother Edwin (for whom a service record exists) on the 7th of September 1914. George sent a postcard on the 6th of March 1915 whilst training in Weston-super-Mare. He had just been promoted to Lance Sergeant. The postcard depicts a cartoon German soldier on a horse with the caption "For gootness sake Halt der 10th R. Warwicks are koming". George's Medal Roll Index Card states that he was a Sergeant and disembarked in France with the 10th Royal Warwickshire Regiment. A field hospital record shows that George was in B company, 10th Royal Warwickshire Regiment. On the 25th of September 1915 he was sent back on a Hospital Ship St. David with an abscess on his right arm. George survived the war and lived until 1969. George’s 1915 Star Medal Roll entry states that he was on the Class Z Reserve List until March 1920. Rob Adams Add to this record.   Pte. Edwin Gibson 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.6th Jul 1916) Edwin Gibson was my grandfather on my mother's side and was a Regular who was 39 when he was killed. He had a son, Sidney, and two daughters, Beatrice (Trix) and Violet (my mother). They lived in Alum Rock, Birmingham. I have his Death Plaque but no campaign medals, although I believe he had served elsewhere abroad before being sent to France as part of the BEF. John Watterson Add to this record.   Pte. Harry Stanley 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.10th Apr 1918) Harry Stanley was wounded at the 2nd Battle of Messines, part of the larger Battle of the Lys, and died in a Belgian hospital on 10th April 1918. He is buried at Harlebeke New British Cemetery, Belgium. Anthony Bond Add to this record.   Pte. Christopher Bullivant 10th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.6th November 1915) My grandfather's brother, Christopher Bullivant, was a private in the 10th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment who was killed at Festubert, France on 6th November 1915. My father's brother was born in December 1915 and named after his dead uncle. He was killed in North Africa on 29th June 1943, I am named Christopher after them both, my middle name is John after my father's cousin John Holland who was killed by the Japanese whilst attempting to escape from a prison train in the Far East. There were only twenty houses in Trenville Avenue (half were destroyed by bombing) four of the boys who grew up there were to be killed in WW2, as well as the two above one sailor was blown up when HMS Hood was destroyed by the Bismarck. Christopher J Bullivant Add to this record.   Pte. Bertram Francis Nason 10th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment Bertram Nason served with the 10th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He was the son of Francis Nason and Esther (nee Adams) of Pillerton Priors and Pillerton Hersey. At the time of Bertram's birth, his father was working on the Chastleton Estate, where he became farm bailiff. Bertram was born at Brookend Farm, Chastleton. In 1901, when he was 16, Bertram was living with his parents at 15 Ryland Street, Stratford and he was a telegraph messenger. His older sister had died aged 11 and is buried in the churchyard at Chastleton. He had an older brother who had moved away and married in Baldock that same year. By 1906, Bertram was a fully fledged postman, as shown in the appointments books, and a year later, he had transferred to Leamington. His patch in the Stratford area was very rural and he would cycle miles, including delivering to the Alscot Estate. He remembers being invited to the staff Christmas parties there. Soon after becoming a postman, he met and fell in love with the head waitress, Lizzie Melville, at the Shakespeare Hotel in Stratford. They were married in Stratford Parish Church on 11 November 1911. The hotel presented them with a silver tea service. The couple lived at 9 Newbold Place, Leamington Spa. Bertram remained a postman until he enlisted with the 10th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment on 8th of December 1915. He served at Passchendaele. By acquiring the war diaries for the battalion and visiting the museum at Passchendaele, we have discovered that he was gassed at Hill 60. This was an important strategic point for undermining. We have a telegram sent to his wife to inform her that on a certain date in 1917, he was injured and sent to the military hospital at Etaples, on the coast of France. This would have been a hospital largely under canvas. From there he was sent to the Beaulieu Auxiliary Hospital in Harrogate, where he remained, convalescing, for some months. During his convalescence, his wife Lizzie upped sticks and moved to Yorkshire with the dog to be near him. We have a photo of Bertram at Harrogate, the middle man in the front row with the dog on his knee. The suits would have been a statutory blue. In January 1919 he was discharged on the ground of sickness. Bertram and Lizzie continued to live in Leamington and had one daughter. After he was widowed in 1953, he lived alone in Leamington. When he was older, he moved to live with his daughter and her husband and their two children in Radway. He died in 1967, having lived to the age of 82 despite the damage he suffered at Passchendaele. His two grandchildren and their partners still live locally. Add to this record.   Pte. Christopher Bullivant 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.6th Nov 1915) My great uncle Christopher Bullivant was killed by a sniper whilst serving in the forward trenches at Festubert in northern France on 6th of November 1915, he was 18 years old. His brother gave the name to his second son born in December of that year and that Christopher was also killed in North Africa on 29th of June 1943 whist serving in the RAF. His brother, my father, gave the name to me which I am honoured to hold. My son also carries the name forward. Chris J Bullivant Add to this record.   Pte. Christopher Bullivant 10th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.6th November 1915) A story told by my grandma who was the sister-in-law of Christopher, who had a son called Christopher killed in WW2 and a grandson called Christopher. In 1916 two of the friends of my great uncle, Christopher Bullivant, returned to Birmingham on leave from the ˜Front. They arrived by train in the city centre late one evening and hit every pub on their way to Sparkbrook. By the time they reached Leamington Road they discovered that Lunns, the pork butchers shop then on the corner of Leamington Road and Ladypool Road (still there in the 1950s) had been left open by Mr Lunn (no chance!). They entered (broke in!) to discover an entire pig carcass hanging. The two immediately enrolled the pig into the 10th Battalion, Royal Warwick's as Private Pig, put an army cape around him, a hat on his head and marched him between them down Leamington Road towards Stoney Lane. They stopped at the home of each of the homes of the boys killed in France since they arrived the previous year. By the time they got to my Great Grandma's house in Trenville Avenue ˜Private Pig had already lost one leg and my G.G had the second. Private Pig did not survive the evening, no one told Mr Lunn about Private Pig's adventure and demise that evening and the two young soldiers returned to the Front unsullied. Some days later one was killed and one injured later in the war. By late 1916 the people of Birmingham were going hungry because the U boat menace was taking effect, the two boys, whose names I do not know, deserve your memories. Chris J Bullivant Add to this record.   Lt. Ronald Spencer Searle 10th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment My father, Ronald Searle joined the OTC at University College, London, when a student, and was assigned to the Artists Rifles when in training, and then to the 10th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment as a 2nd Lieutenant. He was sent to France on 24th of September 1917. He was wounded by shrapnel in the shoulder on 29th of March 1918 at Bapaume and invalided back to England, returning to France in November 1918 and finally being discharged from the Army in April 1919 with the rank of Lieutenant. My father never spoke of what happened to him during his war service except to say that there could be no God if such things were allowed to take place. As he had been brought up in a very deeply religious Methodist family, one that had produced a number of Methodist ministers, his complete loss of any religious faith was clearly the direct result of World War One. His experiences during Operation Michael at Bapaume in March 1918 must have been horrific, especially considering that he was then only 19 years old. When in hospital at the end of his life in 1986 my father believed himself to be back in wartime France, and kept saying that the boys shouldn't keep being moved around. His wartime memories must therefore have remained vivid, even though during his life after World War One he managed to suppress them. Patricia H Riley Add to this record.   Pte. Hubert William Vinnicombe 10th Btn. Warwickshire Regiment (d.19th June 1917) Hubert Vinnicombe served with the 10th Royal Warwickshire Regiment. I am compiling information of the men on our War Memorial in Otterton, Devon, and Hubert is one of these. Jane Bennett Add to this record.   L/Cpl. Albert Leonard Green 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.25th July 1917) Albert Green had enlisted in the South Staffordshire Regiment in 1906 to fight in the Boer war, but the war ended before he was sent overseas. He worked as a jeweler in the jewelry quarter of Birmingham. When he died his youngest daughter (my Grandma) was just 7 years of age. Simon Mitchell Add to this record.   Pte Alfred Boryer 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment Alfred Boryer is my Grandfather. I do have a photo Richard Boryer Add to this record.   Cpl. Ernest Albert Surman 10th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.21st July 1916) My mother once asked my grandfather Albert Surman, about his father's WW1 service. He told her when he was 10yrs old he awakened early one morning to hear boot steps walking from the entryway, he looked out of his bedroom window and saw his father in uniform walking away from the house up Eadie Street. He added that was the last he saw of him. He then told her "He got blown up, I don't want to talk about it ever again!" Ernest Surman left behind his widow and seven children. Micheline Hill Add to this record.   Pte. William Rea 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.3rd July 1916 ) William Rea was educated at Monmouth School Monmouth and is referenced in the school magazine Pro Patria. He was born 30th February 1890. His father was William Joseph who died before him and his mother was Susan. He is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial and is also being commemorated in a project, Monmouth A Town at War, which is being delivered by Monmouth Museum and a group of volunteers. Kay Potts Add to this record.   Pte. Harry Rutherford 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.10th June 1917) Harry Rutherford is my Great Uncle. All I know is a story related via my father from his father (Harry's brother). Apparently the brothers (being in the same regiment) crossed paths as Harry was going up to the line and Albert, my grandfather, was returning from the line and Albert warned Harry in what we assume to be a jocular way to "be careful of the Belgians, they're bloody big buggers!" Add to this record.   L/Cpl. Edwin McCullum 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.21st March 1918) Edwin McCullum was killed in action. He is commemorated on the Commonwealth War Memorial at Arras. Carl Reason Add to this record.   L/Sgt. William Rowberry MM. 10th Battalion Royal Warwickshire (d.18th Nov 1916) My great grand uncle, William Rowberry, was born in 1876 in Stone, Worcestershire, the son of John and Emma. Like most of his immediate family he was an agricultural labourer, although by 1901 he was living with his older brother Thomas and his family in Aston, Birmingham and working as a Carter. He joined up in early 1915 and was in France by July. William received the Military Medal probably during the Battle of the Somme and he was killed on the last day of that engagement. He has no known grave and is mentioned on the memorial at Thiepval and at Stone Parish Church Paul Cooper Add to this record.   Cpt. Julian Roydes Gribble VC 1st Btn. att. 10th Bn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.25th November 1918) Julian Roydes Gribble died on the 25th of November 1918, aged 21 and is buried in the Niederzwehren Cemetery in Germany. He was the son of George James Gribble and Norah Gribble (nee Royds), of Kingston Russell House, Dorset. An extract from The London Gazette, No. 30770, dated 25th June, 1918, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. Capt. Gribble was in command of the right company of the battalion when the enemy attacked, and his orders were to ' hold on to the last.' His company was eventually entirely isolated, though he could easily have withdrawn them at one period when the rest of the battalion on his left were driven back to a secondary position. His right flank was ' in the air,' owing to the withdrawal of all troops of a neighbouring division. By means of a runner to the company on his left rear he intimated his determination to hold on until other orders were received from battalion headquarters - and this he inspired his command to accomplish. His company was eventually surrounded by the enemy at close range, and he was seen fighting to the last. His subsequent fate is unknown. By his splendid example of grit, Capt. Gribble was materially instrumental in preventing for some hours the enemy obtaining a complete mastery of the crest of ridge, and by his magnificent self-sacrifice he enabled the remainder of his own brigade to be withdrawn, as well as another garrison and three batteries of field artillery." s flynn Add to this record.   Pte. Frank Riley 10th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.14th June 1918) Frank Riley Died of Wounds as a Prisoner of War on 14th June 1918, aged 19.

He was awarded the 1915 Star, the Victory medal and the British War medal. Jennifer McFall Add to this record.   Capt. Julian Royds Gribble VC. 1st Bn. att. 10th Bn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment (d.25th Nov 1918) Captain Julian Royds Gribble VC served with the 1st Battalion, Warwickshire Regiment and was attached to the 10th Battalion when he died from Pneumonia on the 25th November 1918, Age: 21. He is buried in Niederzwehren Cemetery, Germany. He was the son of George James Gribble and Norah Gribble (nee Royds), of Kingston Russell House, Dorset.

He was wounded and lost consciousness, but was resuscitated by the Germans and taken prisoner. He was held in a camp at Mainz, Germany where he gradually recovered his health. On the news of winning the Victoria Cross his fellow prisoners of war celebrated by carrying him around the camp on their shoulders. Sadly he never saw his medal. Whilst waiting to be repatriated at the end of the War he caught pneumonia and died on the 24th November 1918. S Flynn Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices. Lander's War: The War Diaries of Lt. Charles Herbert Lander 10th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment. Charles Herbert Lander Charles Lander, had to wait until the chest measurement was reduced before he could apply as a private soldier with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
