John Addis MARKHAM

From Andy Pay's research into the Marquis de Ruvigny' s Roll of Honour the following:

Volume 1, Part 1 , Page 244. MARKHAM, John Addis. Captain, 1st Battalion, East Yorkshire Regiment. Eldest son of Thomas Markham, of Popenhoe, Wisbech,Norfolk, by his wife Henrietta Jane, dau of William Addis of London. born Faulkner House, Walpole St. Peter, Wisbech 31-12-1886. Educated Dover College; gazetted 2nd Lieut to the 1st East Yorkshires from the Militia 27-5-1908, promoted Lieutenant 3-9-1910. He was appointed Temporary Captain 15-11-1914 and this rank was made substantive 6-5-1915.

He went to France with the 6th Division in Sept 1914, and was mortally wounded by a snipers bullet in the trenches near Armentieres 7-5-1915 and died two hours later being buried in Le Bizet Convent. Unm. Major I.L.I. Clark, commanding the 1st East Yorkshires, wrote: " I looked upon Markham as my most reliable Company Commander, always cheery and a splendid example to all under him. He was beloved by his men, and exceedingly popular with his brother officers."; and Private John Brady of his company" He was the gentleman who led my platoon to the trenches on the Aisne, the platton that was the first to come under the fire of the Germans famous Coalboxes. He laughed at those shells, bucked us up, making us so that we could not do anything else but follow him."

Capt Markham was a fine horseman, and in 1913 he won the East Yorkshires Regimental point to point race, on his horse, Loretto.
