220378 Lt.Col. James Neville Marshall VC MC.British Army attached 16th Bn. Lancashire Fusiliers Irish Guards from:Harlow, Essex. (d.4th Nov 1918) James Marshall was killed in action 04/11/1918 aged 31. His grave is in the Ors Communal Cemetety in France.
He was the husband of Edith Marshall, of Lascelles Lodge, Matching Green, Harlow, Essex.
An extract from "The London Gazette," No. 31178, dated 13th Feb., 1919, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery, determination and leadership in the attack on the Sambre-Oise Canal, near Catillon, on the 4th November, 1918, when a partly constructed bridge came under concentrated fire and was broken before the advanced troops of his battalion could cross. Lt. Col. Marshall at once went forward and organised parties to repair the bridge. The first party were soon killed or wounded, but by personal example he inspired his command, and volunteers were instantly forthcoming. Under intense fire and with complete disregard of his own safety, he stood on the bank encouraging his men and assisting in the work, and when the bridge was repaired attempted to rush across at the head of his battalion and was killed while so doing. The passage of the canal was of vital importance, and the gallantry displayed by all ranks was largely due to the inspiring example set by Lt. Col. Marshall."

Enlisting in late 1915 he served in France, where he suffered a serious head injury in late 1916, requiring one month's hospitalisation. This ended his war service.
His injuries meant that he was unable to insure his life, which lead to great family hardship upon his death in 1947.

Maurice Matrshall died of his wounds and is buried in Grave IV, A18, Duisans British Cemetery, Etrun, France. His two brothers, William & David, survived the war only to both be struck down and die whilst still in France as a result of the Spanish Flu epidemic. William died Dec 16 1918 and David 5 Dec 1918. Both are buried in Glentham Lincolnshire. His nephew, my Grandfather, 9331 Private James William Marshall, survived the War. He also served with the Lincolns possibly 10th Bat. It was rumoured that he performed some act of gallantry during the conflict which would have led to the award of a senior medal award if this had been substantiated; alas his CO was killed later that day and with it his sponsor.
