Dvr. George W. Maude MM.
British Army 446th (1st/1st Northumbrian) Field Coy. Royal Engineers
from:Newcastle upon Tyne
(d.2nd Jan 1918)
My mother knew that at least one of her great uncles George Maude had died in the Great War but she was never quite sure because none of the family really talked about it. After some digging around I found that he had been killed on 2nd January 1918, but this information then led me to find two other brothers, Ernest and John Blackburn Maude, sadly none of them survived the War. George W died of bomb wounds on the arm and thigh at a Canadian Casualty Clearing Station in January 1918 aged just 23 he is buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery. He did win a Military Medal but unfortunately I have no idea how, that has been lost forever in history. Ernest was the younger brother, aged just 18, he joined the Northumberland Fusiliers in 1915 he was wounded by a bullet to the head after just five days in France, he died a year later in the Northern Hospital, Liverpool, he was transported home to Newcastle where he is now buried. I have actually found his war grave and now it is tended to frequently. L/Cpl. John Blackburn was the eldest at 28 years, he was in the 13th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers he was killed in action on Monday 26th February 1917 with a few ofhis comrades. He is buried in Vermelles, but remembered on Blaydon Cemetery Memorial.
That is about as much as I have been able to gather. The information has now dried up, their service records being destroyed by incendiary bombs during WW2. I have no photographs to see what they looked like, nothing to suggest what their personalities were like but at least we have found them and they are no longer forgotten which to me is very very precious.

"You know by now the sad news that awaits you. It is very hard for you. How I have thought about you all. If you remember there were four of us at Cambridge, well I am the only one left. Poor Leonard, Cox and Stillwell all went in about 5 minutes. We went into action about 4.45 on the morning of 25th of September and I lost all three chums by 5 o'clock. It was very hard for me. We brought Leonard back and buried him peacefully. I cannot tell you how I felt. His wish was that he would meet you in a better land. I hope it will soon be over. Bear up as much as you can ... remember me to Mr Maunder I hope I shall be with you all again soon.
PS Since waiting to post this letter your letter has come to hand with two packets of fags. I am returning the letter."
