Sherwood Foresters Claude Ernest Malpass enlisted with the Notts & Derby Regiment on 11th May 1915 at the age of 20. Most of his service record appears to be lost including his medical Claude was honourably discharged from the British Army on 21st October 1918 as a result of his wounds. As was customary at the time, for his wounds Claude was given the Silver War Badge (SWB) which is often incorrectly described as the Silver Wound Badge. The record for this award has a curious date entry of "att 6/12/15". I wonder whether this means that he should have been awarded the 1915 Star? regrettably we have no idea what this date means and would welcome any information that fills in any of the gaps. Editor's Note: The date given as att. is the date he joined the 16th Battalion, presumably having trained with another battalion of teh same regiment. The 16th did not go overseas until March 1916, so he would not be entitled to the 1915 star. Kevin Malpass Add to this record. 1206518 Rowland James Baker 8th Btn.

On reaching the high ground above Bellenglise the whole attack was held up by fire of all descriptions from the front and right flank. Realising that everything depended on the advance going forward with the barrage, Col. Vann rushed up to the firing line and with the greatest gallantry led the line forward. By his prompt action and absolute contempt for danger the whole situation was changed, the men were encouraged and the line swept forward. Later, he rushed a field-gun single-handed and knocked out three of the detachment.

Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices. Beneath Hill 60 [DVD] BENEATH HILL 60 tells the extraordinary true story of Oliver Woodward, the legendary Australian metal scientist. In 1916, Woodward faced the most difficult decision, ultimately having to separate from his new young love for the deadly carnage of the Western Front. On treacherous territory, behind the German enemy lines, Woodward and his secret platoon of Australian tunnelers face a suicidal battle to defend a leaking, tunnel system. A tunnel packed with enough high explosives to change the course of the War.

Down goes the firing switch. At first, nothing. Then from deep down there comes a low rumble, and it as if the world is spliting apart...' On 7th June 1917, nineteen massive mines exploded beneath Messines Ridge near Ypres. The largest man-made explosion in history up until that point shattered the landscape and smashed open the German lines. Ten thousand German soldiers died. Two of the mines - at Hill 60 and the Caterpillar - were fired by men of the 1st Australian Tunnelling Company, comprising miners and engineers rather than parade-ground soldiers. Drawing on the diaries of one of the key combatants, "Benealth Hill 60" tells the little-known, devastatingly brutal true story of this subterranean war waged beneath the Western Front - a stygian battle-ground where men drowned in viscous chalk, suffocated in the blue gray clay, choked on poisonous air or died in the darkness, caught up up in vicious hand-to-han More information on: Beneath Hill 60 [Paperback] ALBERT BALL VC: THE FIGHTER PILOT HERO OF WORLD WAR I Colin Pengelly Albert Ball's individuality and his insistence on fighting alone set him apart from other fighter pilots during World War One. His invincible courage and utter determination made him a legend not only in Britain but also amongst his enemies, to whom the sight of his lone Nieuport Scout brought fear. In 1914 he enlisted in the British army with the 2/7th Battalion (Robin Hoods), of the Sherwood Foresters, Notts and Derby Regiment. By the October of 1914 he had reached the rank of Sergeant and then in the same month was made a Second-Lieutenant to his own battalion.
