Spr. Sydney David Carpenter
British Army Royal Engineers
from:Liverpool
Sydney Carpenter was a friend of my father who was a horse driver in the Royal Engineers and I wonder how they met. It may be that my father drove a limber with signals equipment etc. My father's No. was 136633 so he joined at a different time and as Syd had spent five years at college doing scientific photography before 1914 he must have had different interests. In 1917 Syd went over to the RFC and eventually the RAF. He learnt to fly and do aerial photography and spent time in and out of hospital in England due to a complaint received in service. His records with the RFC from 1917 are on line but what he did in the sappers. My father was Alfred Henry Williams and kept in touch with Syd who had a small photography shop in Liverpool.

Gnr. Albert Carr
British Army 21st Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Longton, Staffordshire
(d.14th Jul 1916)
My grandfather Albert Carr attested into Kitchener's Army in 1914, was trained as a Gunner and posted to 21st Battery, RGA, proceeding to France in 1915. When he farewelled his wife Annie Elizabeth and year-old son Albert, Annie was carrying their second son Ronald. Sadly, Ronald and his father were never to know each other. Details of 21st Battery's deployment are scant, but it appears that, on arrival in France, it went to Loos to participate in the Battle, then on to Albert to participate in the opening Battle of the Somme in 1916.
It is not clear exactly how or where Albert Carr was wounded, but he passed away from those wounds at 2nd Field Ambulance on 14th of July 1916, and was buried at Fricourt British Cemetery. After the war his wife (my grandmother) was presented with his Memorial Plaque and posthumous medals: 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. It is sad that, apart from these, we have only two photographs to remember him by.
