World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Samuel Schofield
British Army Cheshire Regiment
from:Portwood, Stockport, Cheshire
Sam Schofield was born 15th Aug 1870 at 25 Back Water Street, Portwood, Stockport & died Oct 1924. He married Mary Nellis at St Joseph's, Stockport on 24 Sept 1894. They had 5 Children. Marion, Elizabeth, Samuel, Frank, & my mum Mary Josephine. Who was known as Josie. At one time he was the landlord of The Portwood Liberal Club in Stockport.
I think he was a Sgt Major in the Cheshire Regiment and played the cornet in the Army. I'm not sure if it was the 6th or 22nd regiment. I would welcome any comments or futher info regarding Sam.

A/Maj. Cyril Hamilton Reid Scholefield CdG.
British Army 69 Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Dublin, Ireland
(d.28th March 1918)
My great uncle, Cyril Scholefield, was born on 12 April 1895. He studied at King William College, Isle of Man, from the age of 13 and then went to Woolwich. He was friends with Maurice Rogers at Woolwich - I have photos of groups of men at Woolwich, bridge building etc. In July 1914 he went to Gibraltar for a year.
At the end of 1915 he went to train under Major Christian with 91 Siege Battery. In 1917 he was exchanged to 69 Siege Battery - a move that disappointed him as he had become close to Major Christian and 91 Siege Battery. He was made Battery Commander Acting Major. He was awarded the Croix de Guerr and made Chevalier de l'Ordre de l'Honneur. He died at Vimy Ridge on 28th March 1918 when a shell hit the hut he and Captain Howard were resting in.

L/Cpl. Herbert Scholes
British Army York and Lancaster Regiment
from:Sheffield
My grandfather Herbert Scholes served in the British Army, having enlisted from Sheffield,Yorkshire in Oct 1915. The Army form E.501 Attestation was taken at Harrogate on the 28th October 1915 and shows that Herbert was to be in the York & Lancaster Regiment, 3/1st 00 Yorkshire Dragoons. I remember ,as a child , visiting my grandfather and seeing a photograph of him in uniform sitting astride a grey horse. At present I don't have any further information and no stories to tell as my grandfather would never talk about the war and he died when I was only 9years old. I have however , found his name on a Roll of Honour -"Hoyland Nether Township Roll of Honour " along with over 1500 names of those men of Hoyland who served in the Great War.

(d.19th Aug 1917)
George Schultz died of wounds, received whilst leading W company in an assault on "the Knoll", near Lempire. He is buried in CWGC annex to the village cemetery at nearby Villers-Faucon.
He had emigrated to British Columbia around 1912, leaving his fiancee behind while he established himself as a fruit farmer. As he had served in the Territorials, he returned to enlist in response to Kitchener's call. He married his fiancee in 1915 and a wedding present from fellow officers, a silver rose bowl, was donated by family to Cheshire Military Museum and is currently on display.
He supposedly rejected suggestion by Mayor of Birkenhead that he should change his German-sounding surname. His son was born in 1916 and his telegram home to congratulate his wife and welcome his son is still in possession of family. A photo suggests he did see his son once. His widow lived for another 57 years, but never remarried.
