Pte. Michael Mcull Cull

(d.19th Apr 1916)
Michael Cull was my grandfather. He served with the Highland Light Infantry 2nd Battalion. He died on 19th April 1916 and is buried in Tranchee Mecknes Cemetery Aix- Noulette. Which is small with a mixture of Nationalities.
Approx. 2months after his death his widow died of consumption. Her two young children, both girls, were placed into the care of nuns. His widow was buried in a pauper's grave. I am not allowed to mark her grave as she is buried with others and the authorities have said that relatives of the others may not want this. I have never had a grandfather and would desperately like to know how Michael died and what action took place.

Pte. James Paul Cullen
British Army Norfolk Regiment
from:Manor Park
James Cullen was my grandfather. He died in 1921 of his war wounds when my father was seven. I understand he was bayonetted in the back whilst fighting in the Dardanelles and that he served from 1914. I am proud to possess the document signed by King George which states that he served with honour and was disabled in the great war. It indicates that he was honourably discharged on October 25th 1918 having previously served in Kent Fortress

from:Calcutta, India
(d.10th Dec 1915)
I have come across the name of 2nd Lt Henry T Cullis in a Memorial Plaque at the Bengal Club, Calcutta, India. I would like to have some more information about this officer. Prior to the war he served in India, possibly Calcutta as an Imperial Civil Service officer. There are 15 other names on whom the search is on.
Any help will be much appreciated - so that they are not merely names. Perhaps their descendants/living family members would like to know about it.
Pte. Charles William Cullum
British Army G.H.Q. 2nd Echelon Royal Army Ordnance Corps

British Army Tank Corps

Pte. William Samuel Cully
British Army 9th Btn. Royal Irish Fusiliers
from:Bessbrook, County Armagh
(d.1st Jul 1916)
My great grandfather William Cullywas the son of James and Ann Jane Cully (nee Clayton) and husband of Mary Cully (nee Mines), of Tullyallen, Mountnorris, County Armagh. He was born Bessbrook, County Armagh on the 24th of May 1874 which would make him 42 years of age when he was killed. Private Cully is buried in Ancre British Cemetery, France.
William signed up to join the 1st World War, volunteered as there was no conscription in Ireland, in fact he lied about his age, said he was 36 and not 41. The conclusion we have come to is that things were hard in Ireland at the time, a couple of poor harvests and as a farm labourer he would have been desperate for money with 7 children (Billy, Hannah Jane, Robert (my Grandfather), Sarah, Sam, Hughie and Geordie).
He headed off and as part of the 9th Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers, 108th Brigade, 36th (Ulster) Division, and was killed in action on the first day of the Somme at Ancre. The Ulster men breached four defensive lines of German trenches that morning but had to retreat due to being let down by their flanks. The troops were told that this would be an easy fight as the Germans had little to no ammunition. This was not the case and William fell along with 60,000 others on that day. The battle at Ancre was over by 8am so he was only on the field for a short time.
Private Cully was entitled to the 1914-15 Star, British War and Victory medal. His last name was recorded incorrectly as Culley on all of his Military records.

AB. George Culmer
Royal Navy HMS Sir John Moore
from:Newports Cottage, Lydden, Nr Margate, Kent
One of four sons of Charles and Emma Culmer of Newports Cottage, Lydden, Nr Margate, Kent. The other 3 sons were in the Army but George Culmer joined the Royal Navy in 1915 on the Monitor, HMS Sir John Moore. I think he was on the crew list for the entire war. He enlisted in August 1915 and was demobilised in July 1919.
One of his brothers, Arthur Culmer, was killed in action during the Somme campaign, on 7th of October 1916 at the age of 20yrs.

Pte. David Culshaw
British Army 1st Btn. Royal Dublin Fusiliers
from:95 Delph, Brierley Hill
(d.14th July 1917)
My son was asked to do a history project and find a relative who fought in WW1 if possible so that he could write a letter home from the trenches as that person. At the same time I was researching my father's family history, especially the Culshaw arm. We were all delighted to find our relative, David Culshaw in the war grave data base, but then equally sad to find out he died so young - aged 19. He was an only child of my father's grandmother's brother and my dad always knew there was a sadness about his great uncle. I found out from the war diary that there was a lot of gas sent over by Lievens Projectors and regular shelling of trenches on the date of his death. I visited David's war grave in Bard Cottage Cemetery on a holiday to Belgium a few years ago and am taking my dad over this month. My son wrote a great letter from the trenches, reliving his relative's awful experience in his imagination.
Pte. Alfred Edward Culver
British Army 2nd Btn. East Kent Regiment
from:Margate
(d.19th April 1915)
On 10th April after a trying turn at St. Eloi, the Battalion marched to Zonnebeke and relieved the 153rd French Regiment, the 85th Brigade having three battalions in the front line with the Buffs in the centre. About the middle of the line was the Broodseinde cross-roads where the enemies' trenches approached very close to our own. The Germans had established a heavy trench mortar in a position secure from our artillery from which they brought a merciless fire on our lines, especially on B company which was on the cross-roads. This was the 2nd Battalions first experience of this weapon. Serious damage was done to the parapets and many lives were lost. Alfred Culver was one of them. He is remembered on the Ypres (Menin Gate) memorial. Unfortunately I have no photo's or other mementos of my grandfather.
Pte. Charles Culverhouse
British Army 2nd/10th Btn. Middlesex Regiment

Samuel John Culverhouse, born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire in 1879. Died in France, on 30th March 1919, of illness, having survived the war. His wife, Elizabeth, placed the following in the local newspaper: "We pictured him safe returning, we longed to grasp his hand But God has postponed our meeting, it will be in a better land. If we could have raised his dying head and heard his last farewell, the grief would not have been so hard, for those who loved him so well." Samuel is buried at Abbeville Communal Cemetery Extension. His name can be found on the war memorial in The Peoples Park, Trowbridge, Wiltshire.
