Pte. Samuel Seacy
British Army 15th Btn. Royal Scots
from:Edinburgh
My great uncle Samuel Seacy wrote a letter home on 3rd of May 1917 when he was out for a rest and I'm trying to find out what specific action from the Battle of Arras he was referring to.
He wrote: ... "We came out on the 1st; we were about 130 so we had some left out of about 900 - not so bad (ironic comment I assume!). We were cut off and had to fight for it, the others were taken or killed. It was awful - talk about Mons. It was hell Piddy (nickname of his sister, my grandmother) so don't tell mother. I thank God I got out - they were killing the wounded..." Great Uncle Samuel was injured on 28th of August 1917 with what was described as "gunshot, severe".
Grateful for any information you can provide on Samuel's service history and details on the action he would have been participating in when he was wounded.

L/Cpl. Frederick Seal
British Army 9th (Service) Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Nuneaton
My grandfather, Frederick Seal, was a miner. He came from Nuneaton, Warwickshire and was married to Elisabeth Seal. He was a family man but never the less volunteered serving with the 9th (Service) Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment which was raised at Warwick in August 1914.
Along with the 39th Brigade part of 13th Division they were part of Kitchener's New Army. In June 1915 they moved to the Mediterranean landing at Mudros in preparation for Gallipoli and the landings at Cape Hellesdon. The 13th Division landed at Anzac Cove. He fought in the Battles of Sari Blair, Russells Hill, Hill 60 at Anzac then Suvla Bay. He was a L/Cpl at the beginning of the war but somewhere in the middle he was demoted and strapped to a cannon and flogged in sight of the enemy. My guess is he probably used his Seal common sense and got into trouble for using his initiative. However, he regained his rank back pretty soon in the battles that awaited him.
This story was related to me by my father, who also served in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment before volunteering for No 2 Commando 11th SAS 1st Parachute Battalion, 1st Parachute Brigade Colour Sgt Eric Seal. As I was the third generation to have served 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and 4 Para 16th Independent Pathfinder Company, I did not want this story lost.
