Pte. William Thomas Chorley
British Army 12th Battalion Somerset Light Infantry
from:Isle Abbots
Will Chorley was my father who, tragically, died three months before I was born. Formerly of the West Somerset Yeomanry, William Thomas Chorley enlisted at Taunton on the 11th of November 1914, and I am aware that with the Yeomanry he served in the Middle East participating in the various campaigns in this theatre, he was in Jerusalem in January 1918 for I have in my collection of his papers his certificate of confirmation, signed by the Bishop of Jerusalem on the 17th of January 1918. His discharge paper shows he transferred to the 12th Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry and, I assume, would have arrived on the Western Front in May 1918.
My late mother, told me that while in France he was quite seriously wounded in the thigh and although on his discharge he returned to prewar work as a farm labourer, he walked with a limp for the rest of his relatively short life. His actual discharge is dated 3rd of March 1919, as being no longer physically fit for military service; the document is markerd 'Wound Stripes' One, Chevrons 3 Blue. Any information that you may be able to impart relating to his military service - particularly the actions involving the 12th Battalion in France, will be most welcome.
Pte. Albert Henry Choules
British Army 2nd Batallion Wiltshire Regiment
from:Downton, Wiltshire
(d.21st March 1918)
I came across Albert Choules whilst researching my family tree and have no information about his time in the Army. Albert was married my great aunt just two years before the outbreak of war and they were blessed with a daughter before he went overseas. Sadly, Albert was killed in action on 21st May 1918. He is remembered at the Pozieres Memorial, on the Somme. Like many poor souls during that awful time, it is probable that his remains were either not recovered, or were not identifiable.
Pte. Charles Chowler
British Army 4th Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Kingsley, Northampton
My great grandfather, Charles Chowler, joined the Army 4th HLI 15th March 1915 he fought in WW1 and was injured in battle. He returned to London St Pancras to recover and was sent back to war as a medical attendant until he left the army in 5th Oct 1918.
He was sent to a hospital in Jersey where he worked as a gardener he lived in the hospital. His family in Northamptonshire believed him to have died. During the German occupation he is registered as living in the hospital. He died in the 1970's with his family never knowing of his existence.

Cpl. James Fairley Christie
British Army 10th Btn. Scottish Rifles
from:Whitehill Colliery, Rosewell
(d.25th Sep 1915)
James Fairley Christie was my grandmother's cousin, making him my third cousin. Always remembered, never forgotten by his loving cousins.
My late uncle, David Anderson Taylor and James Fairley Christie were friends who both grew up in Leith, Edinburgh. David's mother, Agnes Anderson Taylor, died in 1903. Around 1905, David's father, John, engaged as his housekeeper, Helen Aitchison Chapman, to help him look after his two sons. James Fairley Christie was Helen Chapman's cousin. Their mothers were sisters. John Taylor and Helen eventually married and had another four children together. The friendship between David and James thrived. They went on to marry sisters, Sarah and Bella Whitehead, respectively. When war was declared in 1914, James and David enlisted, on the same day, in the 10th Battalion Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) and were given consecutive service numbers 16095 and 16096. They enlisted together, served together and died together on 25 September 1915 at the Battle of Loos. Friends forever.
Pte. James Arthur Christie
Royal Naval Division Portsmouth Battalion
from:Birmingham
(d.21st April 1917)
James Christie was my father's older brother, his oldest brother from his father's first marriage. No one in the family knew anything about him, he was never spoken about. I cannot discover his cause of death. On his death certificate it says "on war service". On another record it says by accident but another record says not by accident, gunshot or disease. He died in a POW camp and is buried near Berlin.
Pte. John Christie
British Army Mechanical Transport Army Service Corps
from:Newcastle upon Tyne
(d.28 Nov 1915)
John Christie was born in Darlington in 1881, one of twins who were the eldest of 8 sons. Four of those brothers were fatal casualties in WW1. I am trying to establish what actually happened to John, did he die from injuries received? He is listed as having died in Brough, a town in what was Westmorland - was there a military hospital there in 1915? The Commonwealth War Graves Commission website tells me he is buried in All Saints Cemetery in Newcastle. Can anyone shed any light please? If so, I would be delighted to hear from them.
Sjt. John Edward Christie MM.
British Army 10th Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Cambois, Northumberland
John Edward Christie was my grandfather, he never talked very much about the war so I know very little about his time in the Army. He was wounded at the Battle of Passchendaele in September 1917 and he once spoke about going to make some tea in the trench - as he was doing this a shell landed and killed his younger brother who was in the same unit.
