50th (Northumbrian) Division    The Northumbrian Division was a formation of the Territorial Force. It was formed as a result of the reforms of the army carried out in 1908 under the Secretary of State for War, Richard Burdon Haldane and was one of 14 Divisions of the peacetime TF. The units of the Division had just departed for annual summer camp when emergency orders recalled them to the home base. All units were mobilised for full time war service on 5 August 1914 and moved to their allotted positions on the Tyne defences by mid August 1914. In early April 1915 the Division was warned that it would go on overseas service and entrainment began on 16 April. By 23 April the Division had concentrated in the area of Steenvoorde. It had arrived just as the German army had attacked at nearby Ypres, using poison gas for the first time, and was rushed into the battle. The Division then remained in France and Flanders and took part in the following engagements: The Battle of St Julien - Second Battles of Ypres The Battle of Frezenburg Ridge - Second Battles of Ypres The Battle of Bellewaarde Ridge - Second Battles of Ypres 1916 The Battle of Flers-Courcelette - Somme The Battle of Morval - Somme The Battle of the Transloy Ridges - Somme 1917 The First Battle of the Scarpe - Arras Offensive 1917 The Capture of Wancourt Ridge - Arras Offensive 1917 The Second Battle of the Scarpe - Arras Offensive 1917 The Second Battle of Passchendaele - Third Battles of the Ypres 1918 The Battle of St Quentin - Somme The Actions at the Somme Crossings - Somme The Battle of Rosieres - Somme The Battle of Estaires - Battles of the Lys The Battle of Hazebrouck - Battles of the Lys The Battle of the Aisne The Division had now taken part in the three great battles against the German offensives of 1918. It had suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted. A decision was taken to rebuild the Division. The original infantry units left and others arrived to take their place. It was not until October that the Division was once again considered to take the field and went on to see action in: The Battle of the St Quentin Canal - Hindenburg Line The Battle of the Beaurevoir Line - Hindenburg Line The Battle of Cambrai 1918 - Hindenburg Line The pursuit to the Selle The Battle of the Selle - Final Advance in Picardy The Battle of Valenciennes - Final Advance in Picardy The Division had been relieved and was resting at Solre le Chateau on 11th of November 1918. Demobilisation of the Division began December and the service of the Division came to an end on 19 March when the final cadres left for England. The Division reformed as part of the Territorial Army in April 1920.

On the morning of the 26th April 1915 the Northumberland Brigade (4th, 5th, 6th & 7th Battalions Northumberland Fusiliers) were concentrated at Wieltje and placed under the orders of the 1st Canadian Division as Reserve. At 10.15 am General Riddell commanding the Northumberland Brigade received orders from the G.O.C 10th Sub Brigade to verify a report received from the 28th Division that the enemy were breaking through the first line trucks in D 13 c & d and to counter attack with whatever force he considered necessary. The 5th Btn Northumberland Fusiliers was directed at 10.45 AM to send forward an officers patrol to verify the report & to proceed with his Battalion to Fortuin with a view to counter attacking if the enemy were discovered breaking through. By 12 noon the officer commanding this Battalion was satisfied that no attempt was being made by the enemy to break through at the place indicated and so his battalion has being heavily shelled to proceed to dig in and remained in the position he had reached and consequently took no part in the subsequent operations. 2 At 1.30 pm operation orders from the 1st Canadian division were received. It will be seen from these orders that the Brigade was to attack St Julien in cooperation with the Lahore Division and one battalion of the 10th Infantry Brigade and that the assault was to take place at 2.5 pm. The distance from Wieltje to St Julien is approximately 1 3/4 miles and the ground had not previously been reconnoitered by the staff or any of the officers of the Brigade. No information was received or could be obtained as to the actual position of either our own or the enemys trenches nor was it known that the G.H.Q line was strongly wired and that there were only certain places through which the troops would be able to pass. No communication was ever made with the artillery and no artillery officer got in any way into touch with the Brigade. The time was short, the order to attack being received at 1.30 pm. Nevertheless considering that any failure to attack on the part of the Brigade might seriously hamper the operations General Riddell decided to carry out the orders he had received impossible as they seemed. By 1.50 pm the Battalions were on the move the 6th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers attacking with the right Wieltje - St Julien road and the 4th battalion Northumberland Fusiliers with their left on the road. The 7th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers was ordered to follow the 4th bn in the second line. At 2.5 pm the leading battalions reached the G.H.Q in C22b and C23c and came under very heavy shell and rifle fire. The Battalions deployed on both sides of the Wieltje - St Julien and lost very heavily by not having reconnoitered the openings to the wire entanglements in front of the line of trenches. However they found places and the advance towards St Julien continued steadily both battalions in the front line suffering heavily from machine gun fire apparently coming from the wood in C17 A on their left flank. By 2.45 pm both of the leading Battalions had reached the front line of our trenches in C17b and the 7th Battalion had been absorbed in the attack. At 3.10pm isolated parties of the 6th Northumberlands on the left of the road pushed forward about 250 yards in front of our first line trench and occupied some small trenches from which the enemy had apparently retreated. The 4th and 7th Northumberlands were unable to make any advance. During the whole of this period no signs of the Lahore Division or the battalion of the 10th Brigade had been observed and it was subsequently ascertained that the movement of this battalion had been cancelled although no verification has been sent to the Northumberland Brigade. The culminating point in the advance of the 6th Btn Northumberland Fusiliers was reached at about 3.45pm when unsupported on their left flank and heavily shelled with high explosive shells they were compelled to dig themselves in and remained in possession of the ground they had gained until dusk when they returned to the first line trenches. At 3.30pm Bigadier general Riddell accompanied by his Brigade Officer left his HQ in C23a and proceeded towards Farm Vanchule in C17d for the purpose of getting into closer touch with his battalion Commanders and was shot through the head 150yards to the south of the farm at 3.45pm. The command devolved to Colonel Foster 4th Northumberland Fusiliers, the senior officer present with the battalions and a message was sent to Col Coles CMS DSO commanding t he 5th Northumberlands informing him of General Riddell's death and that the command of the Brigade had devolved to him. The position of Colonel Cole's HQ was not actually known and it was not until about 7pm that he arrived at Brigade HQ. Orders had however been issued by Colonel Foster for the battalion to remain where they were until dusk and at 7.30pm Col Coles having ascertained that the services of the Brigade in the first line trench were not required, ordered the troops to return to bivouac at Wieltje. 149th Brigade war diary 26th Apr 1915 Shelling   27th Apr 1915 Under Shellfire 27th Apr 1915 In the Line   27th of April 1915 Appreciation 27th of April 1915 Artillery movement 27th Apr 1915 Motor Ambulance Convoy   28th Apr 1915 Casualties in April 28th Apr 1915 Working Party 28th Apr 1915 In the Trenches   28th of April 1915 GOC Visit 28th of April 1915 Ammo column on the move 28th of April 1915 General Plumer's Force 28th of April 1915 Messages 28th April 1915 Recce   28th Apr 1915 Medical Officer 29th Apr 1915 In the Trenches   29th of April 1915 GOC visits 29th of April 1915 New commander of Northumbrians 29th of April 1915 Re-grouping 29th April 1915 Working Parties   30th Apr 1915 Digging   30th of April 1915 GOC visits 1st May 1915 In Trenches   1st of May 1915 GOC Visit 2nd May 1915 On the March 2nd May 1915 Under Shellfire   2nd of May 1915 Re-organizing 2nd of May 1915 Yorks & Durhams on the move 2nd of May 1915 Order of march 2nd of May 1915 DLI to Poperinghe 2nd of May 1915 Stand fast 2nd of May 1915 Gas Attack 2nd of May 1915 Carrying out orders 2nd May 1915 On Stand by   2nd May 1915 On Stand by  149th Brigade HQ reports from Menin Rd. 11.30am.

Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices. The Fighting Pioneers - The Story of the 7th Battalion DLI Clive Dunn Story of the 7th Battalion Durham Light Infantry. With the creation of the Territorial Force in 1908 the battalion was re-designated as the 7th Battalion. It went to France in April 1915 with the rest of the Northumbrian Division seeing action almost immediately at the Second battle of Ypres. In November 1915 the battalion was picked to become the divisional pioneers. The 1/7 Battalion suffered 600 fatalities. In 1920 when the Territorial Army was reformed it was re-raised in its original role as infantry. The story concludes on 10 December 1936 when the 7th Battalion Durham Light Infantry became the 47th (Durham Light Infantry) A.A. Battalion R.E. (T.A.), whose personnel went on to serve in the Second World War. More information on: The Fighting Pioneers - The Story of the 7th Battalion DLI Links Suggest a link
