Don't really know too much other than William Partridge was only 18 when he died, his twin brother Bertie and two elder brothers survived the war. It must have been so hard for the parents to have four sons at the front. Would love to know more about this great uncle of mine that died so young.

Cpl. John Frederick Pascoe MID.
British Army 211th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Pool, Redrurh, Cornwall
My grandfather John Pascoe was a tin miner and so was exempt from Military Service in the 1st World War. Unfortunately, whilst drinking in his local pub, he was persuaded by a recruiting sergeant to volunteer. His training took place at St. Mawes Castle in Falmouth from where he was sent to join the 211th Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery.
Jack was wounded at the Battle of the Somme when his gun battery was over-run by the Germans and although he was wounded in the thigh he managed to carry the Chaplain, who was also wounded, to safety. For this he was mentioned in despatches. He got a certificate from Winston Churchill and also two weeks loss of wages for not carrying the chaplain to the nearest medical station (because he thought the Germans were going to overrun it). The wounded chaplain also survived and after the war he came to visit my grandfather once every year until my grandfather, who had gone back to mining, died from silicosis at the age of 61. The chaplain told my grandmother he believed that if my grandfather had been an officer he would have received the Victoria Cross.

Pte. Thomas Francis Pass
British Army Sherwood Foresters
from:Breedon on the Hill
Thomas Pass served with the Sherwood Foresters in WW1. He was captured by Germans at Bullecourt (28th of March 1918) during manoeuvres with the Sherwood Foresters and was registered at Parchim Camp on 24th of July 1918. Although he hardly ever spoke at all about his wartime service, he indicated that he and other PoWs were not treated well by the Germans. He once (reluctantly) mentioned that there were hens nearby to the PoW hut and that some prisoners kept putting any crumbs of their meager meals through a hole in the hut wall to attract a hen. One day a hen ventured close enough to the hut for a prisoner to grab it. The way it was described was: "it's feet didn't touch the floor and the prisoners were soon eating a better meal!"
Most of time, if anyone mentioned the war, he became very withdrawn and tearful but wouldn't explain why. I wish we had more knowledge and a better understanding of what he went through. Tom was fortunate to have survived the war and return to his home in the Midlands where he led an active life until his later years and died in 1971.
