Sgt. Harry Scargill

from:10 Eldon Street, Barnsley, West Yorkshire
(d.1st July 1916)
Harry Scargill was a draper by trade in Eldon Street, Barnsley at the age of 27. One of the first to join the newly formed 1st Pals Battalion on 21st September 1914, he put a notice in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper advising customers that he had joined Kitchener's Army and that his sister, Annie, would look after his trade and that he hoped to be back before too long.
On 1st of July 1916, aged 29 and a Sergeant in A Company of the 13th (Service) Battalion of the York and Lancaster Regiment, he went over the top into No Mans Land with the clearing-up party following the second wave of the Accrington Pals attack against the German trench defences at Serre on the Somme at 07.40am.

Pte. Arthur Scarle
British Army Royal Berkshire Regiment
from:Birmingham
Arthur Scarle was my Grandfather. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about his service years. As far as his grand children were concerned, he never spoke of his time in the war except to say that, "It was not for the ears of children". He didn't die in service, in fact he made it through active service in both wars and died peacefully in his sleep at the grand age of 86 in the late 1970's. After the passing of my own parents I came into possession of his service medals and this is the only way I got to know his rank, number and regiment whilst serving during World war I. All I can tell you is that despite the horrors he must have encountered, he was a fine man and much loved by all.
Chief Carpenter Albert Edward Scarlett
Royal Navy HMS Minotaur
from:Portsea, Island
Albert Scarlett was my great-great grandfather, I would love to hear any memories passed down by other people's ancestors. Apparently he didn't talk much about his wartime service, but I have managed to work out that he was aboard HMS Minotaur during the Battle of Jutland.

(d.9th Oct 1917)
My Great Uncle Private John Schneider was killed during the attack on the 9th October 1917 at Battle of Poelcappelle. His memorial is on panel 125-128 Tyne Cot Memorial.
I believe he had previously been injured and spent some time in a hospital. Whilst there he knitted a belt which has been handed down to me. It has knitted on it his initials J.S, the initials Y & L for his regiment and the regimental badge, the union jack flag, a flag which is red with a small union jack in the top left corner, and the initials S P H which I believe to be the initials of the hospital. All my efforts to trace the hospital have failed, can anyone please assist?

John Schofield served with the 2nd/5th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers during WW1 and died of wounds on the 9th April 1918, aged 26 and is buried in the Vieille-Chapelle New Military Cemetery in France.
An extract from "The London Gazette," dated 25th June, 1918, records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty in operations. 2nd Lt. Schofield led a party of nine men against a strong point which was reported strongly held by the enemy, and was attacked by about 100 of the enemy with bombs. He disposed his men so skilfully, and made such good use of rifle and Lewis gun fire, that the enemy took cover in dug-outs. This officer himself then held up and captured a party of twenty. With the help of other parties this position was then cleared of the enemy who were all killed or captured. He then collected the remainder of his men, made his party up to ten, and proceeded towards the front line, previously informing his Commanding Officer as to the position, and that he was proceeding to retake the front line. He met large numbers of the enemy in a communication trench in front of him and in a drain on his right and left. His party opened rapid rifle fire, and he climbed out on to the parapet under point blank machine gun fire, and, by his fearless demeanour and bravery, forced the enemy to surrender. As a result, 123 of the enemy, including several officers, were captured by 2nd Lt. Schofield and his party. This very gallant officer was killed a few minutes later."
