(d.21st March 1918)
While researching my family history, I came across the following newspaper article from the West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser on 22nd of March 1923 ... in loving and affectionate remembrance of our dear Tom, the only dearly loved and darling child of Nicholas and Harriet Carbis [nee Goldsworthy married Bennets], who fell in France, March 21st, 1918, aged 24 years.
Dear love of our hearts you sleep with the brave. Where no tears from your sorrowing parents can all on your dear grave. In the red field of battle you fell far away. But our tribute of love to your sweet memory weĆ¢ā‚¬ā„¢ll pay. All is sad within our dwelling, lonely are our hearts to-day. When one we loved dearly has from this passed away. God will link the broken chain. Closer when we meet again. One of the best From his loving father and mother. Bailrace, Carharrack...Thomas Carbis was my grandmother's cousin.

Pte. William George Carden
British Army 13th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
from:Bermondsey, London
(d.20th Sep 1917)
My grandfather William Carden joined the army in 1914, he was a clerk and served in the Pay Corps in Lichfield. In May 1917 he was compulsorily transferred into the fighting forces, joining the Durham Light Infantry in Flanders on 30th of August 1917. He was killed in action on 20th of September1917 during the Battle of Menin Road, when his battalion were involved in trying to secure a hill nicknamed Tower Hamlets. A bit ironic since he came from Bermondsey. His family understood he had been killed by a shell, but given the number of casualties and the sheer mess of battle it is hard to be sure.
William was 28 when he died and left behind his wife, Charlotte, a son aged 4 and two daughters aged 2 and 10 months. My father remembered the telegram arriving to notify his mother of his father's death, he recalled clinging to her leg saying "don't cry Mummy, don't cry". William's remains were exhumed in 1921 and he is now buried at Tyne Cot Cemetery near Ypres. I gather from the records that it took more than 2 years for my grandmother to get a war pension, she was a milliner but with three young children I'm not sure how she managed to earn enough to feed them. She returned to Ramsgate where she had family, her husbands father was still living and I think he helped.
This is a very unremarkable story but I suspect a very common one. So many men did not last long once they were sent out into the field of battle and so many children were raised without a father by a mother grieving for her husband. When I was 9 my parents took us to Belgium to see our grandfathers grave. Even then I remember being stunned by the acres of gravestones and the ages I read on the memorials of his fellow soldiers. When my own sons were 18, 21 and 22, Tyne Cot was still in my mind and I was so so grateful there was no war going on to so savagely claim and annihilate them.
Cpt. Michael Cardiff
Merchant Navy HMHS. St. George
Captain Michael Cardiff was the Master of the St. George during WW1 and received decorations for his service. The St. George was built in 1906 and served as a Rosslare to Fishguard Steamship until 1913 when it was sold by the Great Western Railway to Canadian Pacific who used it in Bundy Bay. The ship was requisitioned in 1917 to become a British Hospital Ship until 1919. It was then bought by the Great Eastern Railway and probably worked between Harwich and the Hook of Holland. It was scrapped in 1929. I do not know if Captain Cardiff had associations with the vessel before and after WW1. He did however spend his last working years as a Master on the Rosslare to Fishguard line.
