During an attack a very heavy enfilade fire was opened on the attacking company by a hostile machine gun. 2nd Lt.

Batey, rushed across the open under very heavy fire and attacked the machine gun, shooting the firer with his revolver, and destroying gun and personnel with bombs. This very brave act saved many lives and ensured the success of the attack. Five days later this very gallant officer lost his life performing a very similar act of bravery." s flynn Add to this record. 1206579 William Henry Holdsworth East Yorkshire Regiment Bill Holdsworth is my Mother's Great Uncle from her Father's side of the family.

An extract from The London Gazette dated 12th June, 1917, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery and self-sacrifice in an attack. Owing to darkness and to smoke from the enemy barrage, and from our own, and to the fact that our objective was in a dark wood, it was impossible to see when our barrage had lifted off the enemy front line. Nevertheless, 2nd Lt. Harrison led his company against the enemy trench under heavy rifle and machine-gun fire, but was repulsed. Reorganising his command as best he could in No Man's Land, he again attacked in darkness under terrific fire, but with no success. Then, turning round, this gallant officer single-handed made a dash at the machine-gun, hoping to knock out the gun and so save the lives of many of his company. His self-sacrifice and absolute disregard of danger was an inspiring example to all. He is reported missing, believed killed." s flynn Add to this record. 1206371 Sgt. Harold Jackson VC. 7th Btn.

An extract from The London Gazette, dated 7th May, 1918, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. Sjt. Jackson volunteered and went out through the hostile barrage and brought back valuable information regarding the enemy's movements. Later, when the enemy had established themselves in our line, this N.C.O. rushed at them, and single-handed, bombed them out into the open. Shortly afterwards, again single-handed, he stalked an enemy machine-gun, threw Mills bombs at the detachment, and put the gun out of action. On a subsequent occasion when all his officers had become casualties, this very gallant N.C.O. led his company in the attack, and, when ordered to retire, he withdrew the company successfully under heavy fire.

Theresa Mary Walker Add to this record. 262922 John Matson East Yorkshire Regiment On 28 Jan 2020, I had a chat with my grandmother about her grandfather, John Matson. He was born 31 Jul 1874 in Hull to William Josephus Matson and Mary Jane Carter, and he later married Martha McGrath. My grandmother said that John served in the Great War, and although she didn't know too much, she specifically mentioned that he fought at Ypres and Passchendaele. She said that he was sent from the battlefield to a London hospital, that he wore the blue 'Convalescent Blues', and that he had shell-shock. She didn't know anything more but did suggest they tried new inventions on him to help. Then he returned back home to Hull. What I have gathered is that during World War One the newly built Maudsley Hospital on Denmark Hill in Camberwell was requisitioned by the military to be a Neurological Clearing Centre for soldiers suffering from shell-shock. The Maudsley was a subsidiary of the 4th London General Hospital John died in 1928. Angela Add to this record. 262643 Pte. Albert David Brown 6th Btn.

East Yorkshire Regiment in the Great War 1914-1918 Everard Wyrall More information on: East Yorkshire Regiment in the Great War 1914-1918 East Yorkshire Regiment in the Great War 1914-1918 Everard Wyrall This history covers all the battalions though only very briefly those that did not go overseas. The author, a prolific writer of divisional/regimental histories follows his customary pattern of arranging his story chronologically with chapters devoted to specific battles and periods of trench warfare. In the margins of the text describing events he notes the dates, as in a diary, and identifies the battalions involved. The Roll of Honour lists the officers alphabetically by ranks without indicating the battalion or date of death; the other ranks are shown by battalions and by ranks within each battalion. Given the number of battalions covered in this single volume the account of all the activities is necessarily compressed, based essentially on the War Diaries, without anecdotal contributions The maps are very good, uncluttered yet displaying tactical detail easy to follow.
