Pte. Frederick Garrington
British Army 13th Btn Gloucestershire Regiment
from:Birmingham
(d.12th July 1916)
Frederick Garrington was my great grandfather. He was my maternal grandfather's father. It wasn't until I researched my family tree that I discovered his fate in the First World War.
When he enlisted he was a forty year old father of eight and was a brass moulder by trade in Birmingham. He died of his wounds on the 12th of July 1916 aged 41 and is buried in the town cemetery in Bethune. On questioning my mother she said that her father, [Frederick's son] had never mentioned anything about his father's fate and came as a compete surprise to her and her sisters.
Pte. Frederick Garrington
British Army 13th (Forest of Dean Pioneeers) Btn. Gloucestershire Regiment
from:Birmingham
(d.12th July 1916)
My great grandfather was Frederick Garrington, my maternal grand father's father. He was born in 1874 in Birmingham and was married with 6 children. Before the war he worked in the brass industry and lived in the Aston area of Birmingham. He enlisted on or around the beginning of March 1915 in Birmingham and was aligned to the 13th Gloucesters. After training during 1915 the 13th Gloucesters were assigned to the 39th Division as the Divisional Pioneer Battalion. He landed in Le Havre in France on the 4th 0f March 1916 along with his battalion and along with 39th Division, became the XI Corps in the First Army.
In April 1916 he was probably involved in the construction of an extensive barbed wire defence between Gorre, la Hamel and Les Chaquax to La Basse Canal which is to the north east of the town of Bethune near Lille.
At the end of June 1916 the 13th Gloucesters were involved in some fighting while supporting the 116th Battalion of the 39th Division near Neuve Chapelle.This was to be known as the Battle of the Boars Head. The Battalion's job was to dig communication trenches supporting the 116th brigade. It is not known when or whether he was injured during this attack but he died of his injuries on July the 12th 1916 aged 42, and his 19th wedding anniversary. He is buried in the town cemetery in Bethune.
None of this information was known until I researched my family history. My grandfather never told any one, not only his own family, about his father's involvement in the 1st World War. I am going over to visit his grave next year [2106 the centenary of his death] the first person in his family to do so. I doubt if his family ever knew about his eventual outcome.

L/Cpl Curtis Cuthbert Garside
British Army 8th Btn Cheshire Regiment
from:George & Dragon, Charlesworth, Glossop
(d.12th June 1917)
Curtis Garside was born in 1895. As an adult, he worked at a local bleachworks but volunteered in August 1914 and joined the Cheshire Regiment. After training he served with the 8th Battalion in the Dardanelles. He was in hospital in Egypt with dysentery and rejoined his unit which went on to Mesopotamia. He participated in the attempted relief of Kut. He was in hospital in India suffering from heatstroke before rejoining his regiment. In April 1917 he had another 5 days in hospital with heatstroke (Source: The Chronicle Glossop). On 12th June 1917 he was bathing in the river Tigris and was overcome by the current. A detail of strong swimmers were on duty but could not save him without being pulled under themselves. His death led to a Court of Enquiry and more training for the Battalion. (Source: Regimental Diary which also confirms he was a Lance Corporal - surviving records such as medal rolls describe him only as a private). Curtis was the only child of Jessie Garside (nee Cuthbert) the second wife of his father John Garside, the licensee of the George & Dragon public house in Charlesworth. Curtis and his cousin Capt. David Cuthbert are commemorted next to each other on the Charlesworth War Memorial which is directly opposite the George & Dragon. He is also commemorated by a plaque inside St John's Church, Charlesworth, erected by his parents and unveiled in early 1919.
Pte. J. Garside
British Army 24th (Tyneside Irish) Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers
J Garside was discharged in 1919
Pte. John Samuel Garside
British Army 14th Btn. Welsh Regiment
(d.4th November 1918)
Recently I have started to research my father's family history, very late in my life. My father was orphaned at a very early age and brought up by "aunty Garside" who I never knew. I had always thought she was a sister of my father's mother but it turned out she was the widow of John Samuel Garside, a brother of my father's mother. John sadly died on 4th November 1918 just seven days before cessation of hostilities. He has no headstone so obviously his body was never found. But he is named on the Vis-En-Artois Memorial. I have no idea why he was in the Welsh Regiment or what action he was in when he met his death.
He was a bricklayer in civilian life according to his marriage certificate. He and his wife had no children. They lived in Dukinfield/Ashton under Lyne. My father was born 1919 so must have been named John after his late uncle. I also carry John as a middle name.
Pte. John William Garside
British Army 1st Btn., B Coy Cameronians Scottish Rifles
from:Manchester
My grandad was John Garside known as Jack. Recently we have discovered his war medals and were fortunate enough that one had his service number engraved on the reverse. I wasn't aware that he served in WW1 as he passed away in 1963, long before I was born. With thanks to the National Archives I have been able to establish that he was discharged as he suffered a shell wound to his left foot on 19th of July 1917.
Currently I am trying to ascertain where the battalion were located at this time. If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
