Pte. Albert William Moss
British Army Notts & Derby Regiment
from:Saddleworth
Bill Moss enlisted at Huddersfield on the 12th of March 1917 when was 18. He never spoke about his experiences. He was wounded in the knee when a shell hit the gun he was firing and he had to have his right leg amputated above the knee.
I have a letter written to his mother from the sister in charge of the ward where he was treated, at 54th General Hospital BE?H (the letter is handwritten and not clear in places). I think the signature is Muriel Hocken. I would very much like to know more about this hospital and where it was situated.
Bill was sent back to England for further treatment and asserted that one of the nurses was a young lady who later became famous, Barbara Cartland, doing her bit for the war effort. Again, I don't know where this was. Does anyone else know?
Editor's note: 54th General Hospital was at Wimereux in France.
L/Cpl. Arthur Moss
British Army 11th Battalion Sherwood Foresters
from:Burbage, Derbyshire
(d.23rd October 1916)
One of my great Uncles was Arthur Moss, son of John and Hannah Moss of Buxton. Arthur was born in 1891 when the family lived at Burbage (a suburb of Buxton, Derbyshire).
In 1914, Lord Kitchener first appealed to the men of Britain to enlist for the Great war. At Derby on 17th September, 1914, the 11th Battalion, Sherwood Foresters was formed, consisting mainly of miners from the Derby and Nottingham region. It was with this regiment that Arthur Moss enlisted. Two years later, now ranked Lance Corporal, Arthur Moss found himself at The Battle of The Somme.
From what I can gather, Arthur was involved in the Battle of Transloy, at Le Sars, the third and final push of the Sherwood Foresters, and it was here he became badly wounded. On returning to England he was transferred to The Military Hospital in Glasgow (Red Cross, Bellahouston). On Monday, October 23rd, news was received that Arthur had died of his wounds, aged 26. He was buried in Burbage Churchyard on Thursday 26th October 1916.
A/Sgt. Charles Herbert Moss Moss
British Army 18th Btn. C Coy. Durham Light Infantry
Charles Moss was born in 1880. On 1st July 1916, Lance Corporal Moss was a Lewis gunner with “C” Company 18th DLI. This Coy was in reserve trenches at 7.30am and did not move forward to the front line until mid-day. After the war he wrote ‘My Part in the Battle of the Somme’. A copy of this account is now held in Durham County Record Office [D/DLI 7/478/4].
30th June 1916 "During the evening, our CO, Lt-Col Hugh Bowes, gave us our instructions ... There was to be no turning back, every man must advance at a steady pace. All officers had the authority to shoot anyone who stopped or tried to go back ... the grimmest order to me was that no fighting soldier was to stop to help the wounded ... We spent the rest of the evening being issued with field dressings, extra ammunition, picks and shovels, camouflaging our tin hats with sandbags and getting the bayonets sharpened. There was a good deal of light-hearted talk amongst groups of us ... The main thing we all looked forward to was to get away from the trenches to fight in open country and get on the move”.
Zero Hour 1st July 1916: “We reached our assembly at about 4am on Saturday 1st July... They must have waited until we were all in position then they opened fire on us. Along on my left there was soon word being passed along for stretcher bearers.. The trench was so shallow I had to crouch into the front of it. Regardless of danger Lieut. Simpson kept moving up and down the trench with head and shoulders in full view of the Germans... At about 7.30am, Zero Hour, the time for the first wave to go over we heard a heavy rumbling thud which was the exploding of our great mine. We got the word to move to our jumping off trench to be ready to go over the top. As I got into this trench I nearly bumped into a soldier who seemed to be carrying a big piece of raw meat resting on his left arm. He was doing a sort of crying whimper. Then I realised it was the remains of his right forearm he was carrying ... Many more soldiers were making their way back up the trench, they were the walking wounded. The artillery fire was much quieter by the time we reached the front line trench but it was nearly impossible to tell it from No Man’s Land .. The whole of the front was an awful chaos of duckboards, sandbags and stakes, wire netting and dud shells strewn about. Among the wreckage were the dead bodies”.
"On army forms ‘Tommy’s’ the name he bears
But in the ranks this Monica’s no good
If he’s a Murphy, whatever he cares
He’ll get no other name than ‘Spud’.
And if he’s one of the family Clark
And was baptised Fred, or Jack, or Bobby
Or uses his number to keep it dark,
He will always loudly be called ‘Nobby’.
And if his true surname should be Miller
Let him be a fraud, or good and trusty,
A man or a mouse or a ladykiller,
You’ll find he will always be called ‘Dusty’!
Sergeant Charles H. Moss, 18th (Pals) Battalion, Durham Light Infantry - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-one/10307703/The-WW1-poetry-they-didnt-let-you-read-Ribald-and-risque-poems-from-the-front.html
