Charles Bage
British Army Loyal North Lancashire Regiment
from:Sheffield
Charles Bage, my great great grandfather served from 1895 until at least 1917 in several services. Signing on with the Royal Scots Fusiliers in 1897, he then moved to 3rd Battalion Kings Own Yorkshire Light Regiment. He served in the Boer War at the Relief of Ladysmith and received the South Africa medal.
He was then in the reserves until he signed up for ASC Remounts as a nagsman. In 1916 he joined the Loyal North Lancashires. In 1917 his service records stop and I have had great difficulty finding out what happened to him after that, no family members are left to ask, so I am afraid his story probably ends there for me. I would love to have known more about him as I am currently tracing my family history.
He was born in Sheffield in 1878. His service record shows he had a large scar of a burn on the left side of his face, but there is no record of how he received it. I think he may have passed away after the war but cannot be sure as every search I try does not bring his name up.
This entry is in memory of my great great grandfather,I am proud to know that he served his country, and am grateful to him and all the men and women who have given so much to ensure the freedom we enjoy today.

He forced his way through uncut wire into the trench and killed two of the enemy.

Ralph Bagshaw's story is recounted on The Great War – our family link.
Sgt. Walter John Bagshaw MID.
British Army 2/5th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Coventry
My grandfather, Walter Bagshaw served with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. I believe the 2/5th Battalion and was part of the 182nd Inf Bde with the 61st Division. He once had a silver cigarette box with the monogram LXI, the roman numerals for the 61st Div. he survived the war and demobilised in Mar 1919. He was awarded two MIDs – but I do not know what for?
He ended up as a Sgt and we believe he worked in an HQ of some sort as either a Pay Clerk or in some other administrative role. On his return he later had his house named Laventie which I assume is a link to his time with the regiment and where I am lead to believe they had a HQ there. After the War he played a large role in the formation of a reunion ‘Dinners Club’ which held an annual dinner to commemorate the 61st Div, possible the HQ Staff specifically but I lack more information. Although he was presented with a gold watch from the club members that has the LXI engraved on it with the wording 182 Inf Bde, 61st Div.
I would love to find out more about his time with the regiment and his service career, I would very much appreciate it if anyone could increase my knowledge in anyway regarding his military life during or indeed after the war, perhaps someone recollects the reunion dinners club?
