Rflmn. John Insley
British Army 10th Btn. Royal Irish Rifles
from:Linton Road, Castle Gresley
(d.14th August 1917)
I understand that my uncle John Insley joined the 11th Battalion of the Sherwood Foresters at Derby, presumably in September 1914. At some point during the war he and many others of the battalion were transferred to the 10th Battalion of the Royal Irish Rifles. To date I have not discovered when and why this occurred.
I had no idea where he had been killed until I took a party of cubs and scouts to Ypres and the Menin Gate in the 1990s. Whilst there I said to my son that I had a feeling that he was there somewhere. We searched the local regiments Notts & Derby, South Staffs etc, with no luck. The guide informed us that to find out where relatives were buried we could contact the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. This I did to be told that he was on panel 40 of the Menin Gate under the Royal Irish Rifles.

Benjamin Irvine, son of William Bichan Irvine and Euphemia Gray Cundill McIntosh, was born 26 October 1893 at 34 Caledonian Crescent, Edinburgh, and was working as a scientific instrument maker in the photographic department of A. H. Baird, 39 Lothian Street, Edinburgh when he enlisted in the 9th Royal Scots (Highlanders) Territorial Force on 14 September 1914.
This battalion was known as “The Dandy Ninthsâ€Â. After training in Scotland he left for active service in France on 23 February 1915. Bennie progressed through the ranks to become a Sergeant. He received a gunshot wound in the head on 27 May 1917 (latter stages of the battle of Arras) resulting in damage to his right eye.
After he spent a few days in the Liverpool Merchant’s Mobile Hospital at Etaples, (No.6 Hospital British Red Cross) he was posted to the 835 Area Employment Company of the Labour Corps, based at Dannes, about 10 kilometers north of Etaples. This was a large ammunition depôt. Bennie was promoted Company Quarter Master Sergeant, later Colour Sergeant, and remained there until 3 February 1919 when he returned to the United Kingdom to be discharged on 6 March 1919 having served a total of 4 years and 174 days.

At that time Ben was a photographic dealer and Margaret was a photographer. Margaret’s father, deceased at the time of the marriage in 1927, had been a photographer also, and it is possible that Ben and his wife carried on his business.

Ben died on 16 January 1968 at 1 Glenlockhart Road, Edinburgh, a rest home/hospital. His occupation was given on his death certificate as “X-ray Assistant (Retired)â€Â.

He had an injury a few hours before the Bittern sailed and he went ashore for medical care, his second in command took the ship out and the ship was hit and sank by the SS Kenilworth Castle 12,700 tons. All lives where lost as it was a very heavy sea that night. The Captain was a very lucky man.
He was was an Captain in the Merchant Navy with an Extra Masters Certificate before also getting a commission in the RNR in 1909. He regularly sailed from Liverpool to Sydney on the White Star Line ships Runic and Celtic.
CSM. Ernest Irving
British Army 2nd Battalion Coldsteam Guards
from:London
(d.27th Sep 1918)
My grand-father, Ernest Irving, was killed on 27 Sept 1918 near Cambrai, I presume on the first day of the Battle of the Canal du Nord. >He was a professional soldier and appears to have served at the Front throughout the war. His daughter - my mother - was born only 5 months before his death. I wonder if he ever actually saw her. To compound the family tragedy, Ernest's wife was killed in the Blitz on London in 1942
