2nd Lieutenant, 1st/2nd Battalion attached 1st/5th Battalion, Leicestershire
Regiment. Killed in action, hit by a shell splinter while reconnoitering
an enemy's stronghold, at Magny La Fosse 3rd October 1918. Eldest
son of Mr and Mrs. J. Christy, 8, William Street, Kettering and
a nephew of Mr. Frank Wright. Husband of Mrs Christy of "Collingwood
House", Kettering. Buried in BUSIGNY COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION,
Nord, France. Plot V Row C Grave 8.
From
'The Wrights' (local history publication)
In
remembrance of John David Wright 1839-1909 and of Martha his wife
1843-1919 who for many years were devoted members of this Church
and Congregation, this tablet was placed here by their family as
a token of gratitude for the safe return of their sons (grandsons
of the above) from the Great War 19 14-1919, fifteen of whom served
in His Majesty's Forces, one only, Second Lieutenant J. G. Christy,
falling in action at Magny La Fosse, October 3rd, 1918.
From
"The Leader" Friday October 18th 1918
The Late SEC.LT J.G. CHRISTY
Mrs.
J G Christy of "Collingwood House", Kettering, has received
official news that her husband Second Lieut. John George Christy
of the Leicestershire Regiment was killed in action on October 3rd.
Lieut. Christy was the elder son of Mr and Mrs. J. Christy, 8, William
Street and a nephew of Mr. Frank Wright. The bereaved wife has received
the following letters.
Oct 5th 1918
"Dear
Mrs. Christy- I very much regret to tell you that your husband was
killed in action on the 3rd and was buried by me to-day in a little
village cemetery just behind the Hindenburg Line which your husband
and his division so bravely and wonderfully stormed on Sunday last.
It will be a little comfort to know that his end came very suddenly
and painlessly being hit by a sniper. His padre the Rev. C.W Buck
was killed on Sunday and is buried by the side of your husband.
I need not say that your husband's memory is very precious to the
battalion. With deepest sympathy I remain yours very sincerely"
Howard W. Turton
Wesleyan Chaplain----Brigade.
Leicestershire
Regiment
Oct 5th 1918
"Dear
Mrs. Christy - It is with deep regret that I have to write and tell
you of the death of your husband Second-Lieut. J.G. Christy. He
was killed in action on October 3rd being hit by a shell splinter
while reconnoitering an enemy's stronghold which his company was
going to attack. He died at once and felt no pain. You have no doubt
read in the paper of the doings of this division and though the
battle in which your husband met his death was four days later it
was none the less a fight in which we did just as well and gained
as much credit. So many of the officers have lost their lives in
this war for apparently no good results. In the case of your husband
it is different. We were in the middle of a successful battle and
he was struck down leading his men, and to my mind there can be
no nobler death.
What we have always admired so much in your husband was the marvellous
way in which he ~~~~~~~ himself to conditions which must have been
hateful to him. His should not have been a soldiers life and all
the horrors and grimness of war must have been even more repulsive
to him than to many of us. Yet he never shirked a duty, never 'begged
off' a ~~~~~ no matter the hardship, the discomfort or the danger,
he was always ready for it. More than once his work on patrol received
the commendation of the Major-General for his daring. His loss will
be keenly felt by all of us. Words of sympathy are empty things,
but it is no exaggeration to say that every officer and man in the
regiment sympathises most sincerely with you in this great loss.
I only hope that you have the strength to bear it with the courage
and fortitude that your husband showed out here. ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~
yours very sincerely"
