Sgt. John Henry Philips
British Army
from:18 Church Road, Woolston, Southampton
(d.6th Sep 1916 )
I believe that my grandfather, Serjeant John Henry Philips, who died in the 2nd battle of the Somme at BazantinRidge, rescued several injured and stranded comrades in no man's land whilst being under fire. I also believe that he was killed in the final run to rescue comrades. We know he was injured in the head when he was climbing out of the trench with his head above the parapet.
I would love to know more about this man, ie what type of regiment he was in. I believe that my grandfather was an existing soldier prior to the start of WW1.

Sgt. Bert Gwinett Phillips
British Army 9th Btn. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)
from:Long Eaton
(d.25th Apr 1918)
The regimental war diaries for the 24th and 25th April 1918 recorded that on the 24th the 9th Battalion of the Cameronians relieved the 8th Battalion of the Black Watch when they moved from their camp at Bedelem Farm into the Vierstraat Line north of Kemmel. By midnight the relief was completed without any casualties. Bert Phillipsā€™s A Company was posted in the Cheapside Line. The whole Battalion came under heavy German fire including gas at 2.30am. At 7.00am A Company reported their position as intact with slight casualties. As the Germans continued to press forward during the afternoon forcing some withdrawals, the Cheapside Line was reinforced and by nightfall had been held.
It was at some point during these events that Bert had been killed. His body was never found and his name is one of nearly 35,000 inscribed on the Tyne Cot memorial.
