Pte. Frank Ernest Cuthbert
Canadian Expeditionary Force 13th Btn.
from:Listowel, Ontario, Canada
My Dad was born in Leicester England Sept 9 1892 and emigrated to Canada in 1915 on the ship Mauretania. He enlisted in the Canadian Army in September 1915 and was wounded in Ypres France. (Gunshot wounds to right leg and shrapnel wound through the hand.) He was treated in Boulogne France, Folkeston, No 4 Northern General Hospital Lincoln, also Shorncliffe, Etchinghill, Shoreham, Wohingham and Epsom.
The story that first came back to his fiance in Canada was that he had been killed, but this was later corrected. In 1918 he returned to Canada, married, lived in Hamilton Ontario, had seven children (4 girls 3 boys) and many Grandchildren. He subsequently died of a brain tumour in 1962 at the age of 70, his wife died in 1964. I have pictures of him in Uniform etc. I would be interested in hearing from the familes of any who may have crossed his path.

My Great Uncle Ernest Cutting was brother to my grandmother May Alexandra Wright [ nee Cutting]. He was aged only 20 years old when he died of wounds in France. He is buried at the Etaples Cemetery.
These boys were so brave I would have been terrified to have to do what they did. We must never forget them they sacrificed their lives so we could all be free.
I do not know much about Ernest other than what I have found on the internet as every one who would know him has now died. Ernest's brother Arthur Cutting also died during the war but I have not been able to find details of him.

(d.22nd Sep 1917)
Jack Cutts was aged just 23 when he died, he is my maternal great uncle. I grew up knowing him only by photograph, standing proudly in his uniform. I also recall being fascinated as a child by the only other photo - of his headstone.
My 7 year old son is now learning about the Great War and as the only family member sharing the same Christian name "Jack", together we have been using the internet to find out more about our war hero relative. A humbling journey into the past. When I came across this website, I wanted to add his name to the list of those known to serve with the London Regiment. Gone but not forgotten!
Sadly, the photographs are no longer in the family, although I have been able to request a new one via the war graves project and I also have a small image of his face inserted into the back of a gold broach worn by his mother after his death.

Pte. Leonard Cutts
British Army Machine Gun Corps
from:Wath on Dearne
Leonard Cutts originally attested with the York and Lancaster Regiment on 10th of December 1915. His medal index card shows that he could not have arrived overseas earlier than 1st January 1916 because he did not have the 14/15 star. He was discharged on the 14th of January 1919 transferred to class Z meaning he could be recalled if needed. He had probably enlisted under the Derby scheme. His Machine Gun Corps number dates to October 1917 and he probably served overseas from 23rd of February 1918. Little else is known about his Army record.
He became a butcher in Wath on Dearne, along with father Arthur and brothers Wilfred and Cyril.
Lt. Leonard Edwin Cutts
British Army 256th Tunnelling Coy. Royal Engineers
from:Blackwell, Derbyshire
(d.11th October 1918)
Leonard Cutts was born in Hoyland, Yorkshire in October 1887 to Joseph William Cutts and Esther Ann nee Carnelley. The family had moved to 64 Blackwell Colliery Rows between 1897 and 1900. Joseph was Colliery Manager. Leonard followed the trade and by 1911 was a Deputy at the colliery. Joseph died in 1913 aged 46 years. In the 3rd quarter of 1918 Leonard married Winifred Mary Brown of Coningsby, Lincolnshire, just weeks before he died in France on 11th October. In 1911 Winifred had been training at Lincoln as an Elementary School Teacher, and after losing her husband she never remarried and passed away in 1957.
Leonard was a 2nd Lieutenant, promoted to Lieutenant with the Royal Engineers 256th Tunnelling Coy., when he died on 11th of October 1918 of pneumonia. For obvious reasons the Tunnelling Corps took many miners and Leonard's background as a Deputy with engineering and explosives experience would have been highly valued. The role of the TC was to tunnel to plant and detonate explosives under the German lines.
Leonard's name is commemorated on the Parish Church Memorial Plaque at Blackwell, but is not listed in the Blackwell Colliery Co's album "Lest We Forget", so may have been employed elsewhere. Leonard is also commemorated on the Roll of Honour at Chesterfield Grammar School.
