Frmn. Thomas Patten

(d.8th Oct 1917)
Thomas Patten died on 8th of October 1917, at the age of 47, aboard SS Memphian, a defensively armed British merchant steamer that was torpedoed without warning by German submarine U96 when 7 miles ENE of Arklow Light Vessel, Ireland. Thirty-two lives were lost. The ship was en route from Liverpool to Boston, Massachusetts.
My grandfather told me that his father asked him to see him off at the pier head. By the time my grandfather returned to the family home in Sand Street, word had reached the family that the ship had gone down with all hands. At age 11, his father dead, my grandfather had to provide for his mother and sister, as being "on the parish" they had very little money. He told me a story about getting some coal for the fire in the front of his jumper by crawling under a gate into a factory yard. He thought he had been spied and was terrified he was going to be deported to Australia!

He was a head Chauffeur at Rosyth, then married Mary Quinn in 1920 and had one son, William Paterson. They moved to Lockerbie to Balgray Estate where he also was a chauffeur, servicing 7 vehicles.
Later, under the Scheme, and thanks to Jardine Paterson he studied barbering and hairdressing in Edinburgh and purchased a shop in Kelty, Fife where he lived with his small family until he passed away from complications from his war wounds in 1930.

Pte. W. Pattinson

Regrettably only the initial and name is listed on the Triptych in St. Paul's Church Jarrow and there are numerous instances of this name in the North East together with variations in spelling. So it must remain simply: W Pattinson, Private - other details unknown. He is remembered on the Memorial Panel in St. Paul's Church, Jarrow.
Can anyone provide more information?

An extract from "The London Gazette," No.30215, dated 31st July, 1917, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery in attack. When the advance of our troops was held up by an enemy machine gun, which was inflicting severe casualties, Pte. Pattison, with utter disregard for his own safety, sprang forward and, jumping from shell-hole to shell-hole, reached cover within thirty yards of the enemy gun. From this point, in face of heavy fire, he hurled bombs, killing and wounding some of the crew, then rushed forward overcoming and bayoneting the surviving five gunners. His valour and initiative undoubtedly saved the situation and made possible the further advance to the objective."
