Extract from The Bond of Sacrifice Volume 1 Aug-Dec 1914:

MAJOR D'ARCY WENTWORTH MANDER, 2nd BATTALION DURHAM LIGHT INFANTRY, was the son of Charles John Mander, Esq., of 9, New Square, Lincoln's Inn, and Carlton Road, Putney. He was related to Colonel A. T. Mander, R.E., and General F. D. Mander. Major Mander was born in London in October, 1870, and was educated at Charterhouse and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was first gazetted in 1892, promoted Lieutenant 1896, Captain in 1900, and Major in 1912. He played polo for his regiment in India, and assisted in winning several cups. He also played cricket and football in the regimental team, was a keen golfer, and hunted when opportunity offered.

He was killed while serving with his battalion at the Battle of the Aisne on the 20th September, 1914. The following account of the circumstances attending his death was given by a brother officer: “I was with Major Mander just before he was killed. We went up and relieved a regiment in the trenches just after dark on Saturday, the 19th. As soon as it was daylight the enemy's snipers started bothering us. At about 10 a.m. on Sunday, the 20th, the Germans started an attack, chiefly against the West Yorks, on our right. We could not do anything to help, as the enemy were hidden from us by the ground, and we were expecting all the time to be attacked ourselves. At lunch time I walked along the trenches and joined Major Mander and another officer. Whilst we were eating a party of perhaps one hundred Germans walked in towards the West Yorks trenches, holding their hands above their heads, but still in possession of their rifles. We stood up to watch them, and saw that when they got in among the West Yorks they appeared to bayonet some of them. This was all happening about four hundred yards to our right. We all three jumped up and shouted to the company to stand to, and went to our places in the trenches. The Germans almost immediately faced down our line and opened fire. I was looking along the trenches, and saw Major Mander standing about fifty yards in front of me, also in the trenches. We were all shouting to some men from our trenches (not D.L.I.), who were running back, telling them to stop. This they did, and opened fire on the Germans. Just at that moment I was hit, and did not see any more. It was a very low trick the Germans played on us." Major Mander was a member of the Sports Club. He married Esmé Mary, daughter of the late Samuel Sealey-Allin, Esq., of The College, Youghal, Co. Cork, Ireland, and left two children: a son, age five, and a daughter, age three years.

Extract from Lichfield Mercury - Friday 2 October 1914, page 5:

LOCAL SOLDIERS KILLED AND WOUNDED.

Sec. Lieut L. W. Mansell.

Many people in Luton will hear with regret of the death—killed in action on April 22nd—of Sec. Lieut. Leslie Wyndham Mansell, only son of Mr. H. M. Mansell, C. A. Coutts & Co., Victor Works, Old Bedford-road, Luton. Lieut. Manscll, who was educated at Charterhouse, lived in Luton for some time, taking an active part in business here in preparation for the London business, and had previously studied in both Germany and France, spending six months in one country and a similar period in the other. He had only just started in Golden Lane business when war broke out, and was in his 20th year when he enlisted, in September, 1914, in the H.A.C. He obtained his commission in November of the following year, and was gazetted to the Derbyshire Yeomanry, but was afterwards attached to the Durham Light Infantry, with whom he was at the time of his death. He went to the Front last September.

In a letter to the bereaved parents, who reside at Southover, South Hill, Bromley, Captain Roster:—

"He was in my Company, from the time he joined the battalion, and you will understand how attached I had become to him; no duty was ever too hard or too dangerous for him. No officer could be more popular with his men and with all of us than he. We have been through many trying times together, and I cannot wish to endure hardship with anyone more cheerful at all times than your son. The Company. Battalion, and, indeed the Army, have lost an officer such as can be ill spared these days."

Colonel Rosher also wrote:—"I was much attached to your son, who was a splendid officer, extremely popular with all the officers and men. On April 21st, he had done very fine work leading a successful attack with great gallantry, and on the next day in another attack was killed instantly by a shell. We shall miss him terribly. It seems so hard that so many the best fellows are taken in this war."

THE LATE CAPTAIN MARRIOTT.

The Malay Mail of which be was part proprietor gives the following appreciation of Capt. H N Marriott. We deeply regret to announce the death in action of Capt. H N Marriott, one of the proprietors of this paper and for nearly seven years an active worker on the staff. His name appeared in a casualty list published in London on Nov. 22nd. We cabled to his bankers, Messrs. Cox and Co., and this morning received the following reply:—"Capt. H N Marriott reported killed Nov. 13th."

Mr H N Marriott, who was about 37 years of age, was educated at Charterhouse and Brasenose College, Oxford. After leaving the 'Varsity he was engaged for some years in teaching, and it was towards the end of 1907 that he came out to join the Malay Mail, with which he remained (except for six months' leave in 1913) until October, 1914, when a spirit of patriotism sent him Home to fight for Great Britain. In December of the same year he was appointed Temporary 2nd Lieutenant on probation in the 12th Batt., East Yorkshire Regt., confirmation of the appointment coming two months later. After a year in training he went as Lieut. and acting Adjutant with his battalion to Egypt, remaining there until early in the present year, when he was transferred to France. He was not engaged in the early stages of the Somme Battle, but some three months ago was promoted to captain and sent behind the front for training as a company commander. The latest advices received here stated that he had been unexpectedly sent to the Somme, and it was there probably that he met his death.

Capt. Marriott was a man with a strongly developed sense of duty, and it was that, and that alone—for he was absolutely devoid of military ambition—which sent him Home to fight the King's enemies.

PRO PATRIA.
Lieut. R. M. Matthews.

We much regret to record the death of 2nd Lieut. Richard Malcolm Matthews, of Yew Tree Cottage, Upper Walmer, fourth son of the late Mr. John Matthews, J.P., of The Old House, Walmer, and a member of the firm of Messrs. Thompson & Son, Ltd, Lieut. Matthews was killed in action in France on the 20th inst., at the age of 38. He was educated at the Charterhousee, and after a year in Germany, entered the business in 1905. In the early days of the war, he offered himself for service, but being rejected on medical grounds, he became a member of the Deal and Walmer V.T.C.. on the formation of that body, taking a keen interest in the corps. He was subsequently passed for service. and after a period of training with an O.T.C., was gazetted to the West Yorkshire Regiment in July last, and within a month of joining his battalion, he proceeded to France on active service. By a pathetic coincidence, he was killed a day after the third anniversary of the death in action of his brother. Capt. J. H. Matthews, Northumberland Fusiliers. and like him, within a few days of his birthday. Lieut. Matthews would have been 38 on the 22nd September. From the time of his return to his native place, Lieut. Matthews was a member of the choir of St. Mary's Parish Walmer, and he took a keen interest in the promotion of cricket and other games for the choir boys and others in the village, taking an active part also in the Walmer Cricket Club. For a short time he acted as Secretary of the Deal and Walmer Musical Society, of which he was a member from the time of his return to Walmer. Mr. Matthews was very highly respected by all classes in the neighbourhood, and a wide circle of friends will deeply regret this further bereavement in a family which has taken an honoured part in local affairs for many years.

Extract from Kent Messenger & Gravesend Telegraph - Saturday 8 December 1917, page 4:

Second, Lieut. Richard Malcolm Matthews, Yorkshire Regiment, of Upper Walmer, who was killed on active service on September 20th, left estate valued at £11,392. He bequeathed £100 to his old nurse.

His is one of the names added later to the Chapel panels, after their installation. Possibly he was adjudged to have died as a delayed effect of wounds.

From the Charterhouse Register, Oration Quarter 1887:

Orpen met Captain Maude during World War I in Amiens, where Maude was A.P.M. (Army Provost Marshall). The two became great friends, and Orpen recounts numerous humorous anecdotes about Maude in his memoir, An Onlooker in France. In 1918 Maude was promoted to Major and appointed A.P.M. Cologne, where he remained until demobilisation in 1920. He then accepted the position of Secretary to the Guard’s Club in London. In the letter, written from the Hotel Majestic, Paris, 14 November 1920, Orpen asks for his friend’s help in connection to a portrait of Lord Cavan that he had painted for the Guard’s Club. As it transpired, Maude never assumed duties at the club owing to illness, and died of T. B. in 1922.

THE LATE SECOND-LIEUT. J. E. McINNES.
MEMORIAL SERVICE.

On Saturday afternoon, memorial service was held at Littleover Church to the late Second- Lieut. J. E. Mclnnes, who was recently killed at the front. It was conducted by the vicar, and was very largely attended. Amongst those present were the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mclnnes, Councillor A. F. Longdon (vicar’s warden), Mr. J. H. Gascoyne, D.L., Mr. H. E. Ayre (Mickleover), Mr. H. Litherland, Capt. Litherland (an old school fellow of the late lieutenant), Lieut. Ann, Mr. E. S. Johnson, Mr. M. Attwood, Mr. Newton Attwood, R.N., Ald. and Mrs. W. B. Robotham, Ald. G. Brigden, Capt. L. Eardley Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. Timms, Mrs. Arthur Cox and Mr. J. W. Cox. A large number employees from the Derby Crown Porcelain Works were also present, as well as the servants from the Old Hall and many parishioners. Mr. Smith, the organist, played Beethoven's Funeral March and "O rest in the Lord," whilst he also gave a very fine rendering of Chopin’s March Funebre and the Dead March from ‘‘Saul’’ at the conclusion of the service. The service itself was one drawn up by the Bishop of Stepney and sanctioned for use in this diocese. The hymns were “Saints of God ’’ and “My God, My Father,” the last being by the request of Mr. and Mrs. McInnes.—It may be interesting to note that a letter has been received from Lieut. Lilley, who is also prisoner of war, who saw Second-Lieut. McInnes on the battlefield. This letter was written to Lieut. Lilley’s mother. In it, the writer says:— Mclnnes and I were first over the parapet. We occupied the ground we were told to do. McInnes was losing men, so I sent some of mine to help him. I deeply regret that McInnes was killed, but he had the satisfaction of knowing that he had carried out what he was told to do."

Preaching at Littleover Church, Sunday morning, the 1st inst., the vicar,, the J. M. Cunningham, referred to the death in action of the gallant young officer. The rev. gentleman said that news of the sad occurrence had been received from Lieut. Downman, son of the Rev. F. P. Downman, of Derby, and who was a prisoner of war in Germany. He (the vicar) had been very closely associated with young McInnes, and he recalled the time he returned home from Switzerland and his adventurous and somewhat perilous journey across France, after the outbreak of war. He was a young man beloved by all for his high character and kindly disposition. After he gained his commission, he returned home for a short time, and the last occasion upon which he (the vicar) saw him was when he bade him goodbye after he had partaken of Holy Communion with his parents in that church.

McNAIR, VC

Eric Archibald

“When the enemy exploded a mine, Lieutenant McNair and many men of two platoons were hoisted into the air, and many men were buried. But, though much shaken, he at once organised a party with a machine gun to man the near edge of the crater and opened rapid fire on a large party of the enemy, who were advancing. The enemy were driven back, leaving many dead. Lieutenant McNair then ran back for reinforcements, and sent to another unit for bombs, ammunition and tools to replace those buried. The communication trench being blocked he went across the open under heavy fire and led up the reinforcements the same way. His prompt and plucky action and example undoubtedly saved the situation.”

By one of the War’s many ironies, McNair’s opposite number as deputy head monitor in 1913 was a Southern Irish boy who remained a non-combatant throughout.

Extract from Englishman's Overland Mail - Friday 7 April 1916, page 14:

THE CALCUTTA V.C.
SON OF MR G B MCNAIR

Private advices received in Calcutta intimate that the V. C. has been awarded to Capt. Eric Archibald McNair, of the Royal Sussex Regiment.

Capt. McNair is a son of Mr. G. B. McNair, the well-known Solicitor of Calcutta, and head of the firm of Messrs. Morgan & Co. Mr. McNair has been the recipient of many congratulations on the honour conferred on his gallant son. No particulars have yet been received of the exploit for which Capt. McNair was awarded the coveted decoration, and recent letters from Capt. McNair himself are characteristically reticent.

LIEUT. McNAIR'S LETTER TO HIS FATHER.

We publish below an extract from the last letter written by temporary Lieutenant E. C. (sic) McNair, one of the new V. C.'s. to his father. Mr. G. B. McNair, head of the firm of Messrs. Morgan and Co., Solicitors, Hastings Street, Calcutta. The letter is dated February 29th and possibly refers to the occasion on which he performed the act of valour which has won him the V. C. He writes; "Just off back to the front after a week's leave. We had a bit of a "show" at last just before my leave which made it all the more pleasing to get home. The Huns shelled our front trenches solemnly by day for three days and then on the evening of the third day exploded a couple of large mines As usual they "got the wind up" before getting right under our trenches and so only the lip of one of the craters touched the trenches. The other crater was in a gap which we did not hold. The men were simply wonderful, not a sign of panic or anything approaching thereto. My company, or most of it, was in the front line with a couple of platoons of another company on our right and gaps on both sides of us held by bombing posts. The Germans attacked towards the crater in the gap and 15 of my men and the Sergt.-Major drove them back with rifle fire some 80 of them. The rest of my men and a machine-gun lined the edge of the crater in our trenches and some 200 Germans came out quite casually and lined their side of the crater and after 10 minutes or so went back again. It was amazing show —-one of those evenings when you feel that everything is bound to go well whatever you do. It was a most exhilarating feeling while it lasted and really Providence looked after us. The regiment got enormous kudos out of the affair and it did a world of good in giving the men confidence in themselves and their officers. The General was enormously pleased and I believe I got a "mention in dispatches" —but of course don't knew yet."

His Commanding Officer, Col. F. Montague Bates, wrote: "Your son was killed by a bomb on the 28th. He was commanding A Coy. at the time of his death and was gallantly leading a bombing party of his men forward when he was hit by a German bomb and killed instantaneously. I thought a great deal of him, he was an excellent soldier, daring and gallant; he was beloved by his men and popular with all ranks; his loss to me as commanding officer is a great blow. He was brave as a lion and died a glorious death"; and in a later letter: "Your boy was killed by a bomb in a trench leading out of the Hohenzollern Redoubt; he was running up a trench towards the Germans, who were in the same trench, and throwing bombs and driving the Germans back. He, of course, was in the thickest of the fighting." Capt. A. Howler of his regt. wrote: "Doubtless you know how popular Mead was with everybody and his work in the Hohenzollern would undoubtedly have earned him some distinction" and Major F. Clifford, of The King's Liverpool Regt., wrote from Egypt: "Today the Colonel of the East Surrey Regt. was here, he told me that young Mead had behaved in a very gallant manner and that he probably would be awarded some posthumous honour." Lieut. Mead was mentioned in Sir John (now Lord) French's Despatch of 30 Nov. 1915 [London Gazette, 1 Jan. 1916], for conspicuous gallantry in the field. At Charterhouse he was in the Cricket and Football Elevens in 1908. His brother, Corpl. G. P. Mead, died on active service (see following notice), and two surviving brothers are now (1916) serving with the British Forces.

LIEUT. W. R. F. MILLER KILLED IN ACTION.

Mr. W. H. Miller (Director of Miller Bros., Ltd., Derby Lace Factory, Barnstaple), father of Lieut. W F. Miller (Devons), who was early in May officially reported to be missing, has received the following letter from Lieut.-Col. T. N. Howard, in command of the Battalion to which deceased was attached:—

"You will of course have heard from the War Office that your son was killed in action on the night 24—25 April. I enclose a card of sympathy from myself and all the ranks of the —Devons, by whom he was much loved and respected both for his high character and great devotion to duty. He was, as you know, signalling officer to the Battalion, a duty which he preferred to carry on rather than take command of a Company which I offered him. His conduct throughout the trying times have had has been beyond praise. He was killed by a large shell, which fell just behind me as we were going into action, and took several others besides your son. This was in the Jumeaux ravine, about mile west of the south end of Lake Doiran. I regret that it is impossible for me to give you more detailed information, because most of those who were with him were killed or badly wounded. Your son will long live in the memories of the officers and men of the —Devons, especially the signallers, who were devoted to him "

Lieut W. R. F. Miller was the only son of Mr. W. H. Miller and Mrs. Miller, of Exmouth. Only 20 years of age, he was educated at Charterhouse, where he was prominent in athletics, winning the 120 yards hurdle race at the School sports, and also a similar event in the inter-school sports with Harrow. He was in the O.T.C. camp with the Charterhouse Corps in Staffordshire on the outbreak of War, and on the camp being broken up applied for a Commission, being gazetted the following September. He went to France with his unit just twelve months later, and shortly afterwards joined the Salonica Forces, and had been in the Balkans ever since. He was the signalling officer of his battalion, and although promotion had on more than one occasion been offered him, he preferred to remain In command of the Signalling Section, in which he had been almost from tbe time of joining—being extremely interested in the work. He was slightly wounded by a shell fragment early in November last, but soon rejoined his unit. In Barnstaple, where the Miller family—so long associated with the industrial life of the town as proprietors of the Lace Factory—is held in high honour, widespread and profound sympathy will be expressed with the bereaved parents.

Second Lieutenant, No. 1 Company, 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards. Killed in action 25 January 1915 [26 January 1915 - SDGW]. Aged 19. Baptised 7 February 1895 in Merton, St Mary, Surrey, resident Wimbledon. Son of Charles Antony and Maud Mills, of The Manor, Moulsford, Berks. Mentioned in Despatches (MiD).

Extract from Bond of Sacrifice: Officers Died in the Great War 1914-1916, volume 2, page 326:

2nd LIEUTENANT CHARLES GORDON MILLS, 1st BATTN. COLDSTREAM GUARDS, SPECIAL RESERVE' who was born at Wimbledon on the 12th March, 1895, was the son of Charles Antony and Maud Mills, of The Manor, Moulsford, Berkshire.

He was educated at Charterhouse (Gownboys), going up afterwards to Clare College, Cambridge. He had been in the O.T.C. at Cambridge and when war was declared he applied for a commission. He was gazetted to the Special Reserve of the Coldstream Guards in August 1914, and after having been attached for some time to the 4th (Reserve) Battalion, was finally posted to the 1st Battalion. 2nd Lieutenant Mills, who left for the front November, 1914, was killed instantaneously on the 25th January, 1915, at La Bassée, while in command of the 1st Company, 1st Battali0n Coldstream Guards.

The Officer temporarily in command of his battalion wrote regarding 2nd Lieutenant Mills' death: "He was in command of No. 1 Company, and was holding a post on a railway embankment and a track running from it. The actual attack came from his right, but the post was under heavy the from the front. Then right of the line was broken by mines and outflanked and rushed. He, from reports I can trust, handled his men well, and made his change of front to face the new advance well; but unfortunately was struck through the head and killed instantaneously, just having accomplished the change. I should like here to add that I was Second in Command of the 4th Battalion when your boy joined, and I had a certain amount tp do with instructing him in the art of war. From the early days of knowing him I felt sure he would do well as a soldier and from all I have seen of him here my exprctations have not only been fulfilled but surpassed."

A brother Officer wrote: " He was shot through the head and died at once without any pain. It was a very gallant death, for he died rallying his men. When the Germans had pierced the line he was under a very heavy fire, and he was doing very well. He died smiling. He was always so cheery that his men loved him, and so did we all. We thought ourselves so luvky to have him." Another officer wrote: "He had always done as well as possible out here, and was a most promising officer, and I had hoped he would have become one of us after the campaign."

THE LATE LIEUT. A. C. O. MITCHELL.
Talachddu Memorial Tablet Dedicated.

A handsome brass tablet placed by the family in Talachddu Church in memory of Lieut. Alexander Charles Oswald Mitchell, 1/1st Brecknockshire Battalion South Wales Borderers (attached 4th Battalion), who was killed in Mesopotamia, was dedicated on Sunday afternoon last by the Bishop of Swansea. His lordship was assisted by the Rev. M. G. Price, who is in temporary caarge (sic) of the parish. Those present included Mr and Mrs A. A. Mitchell and Lieut. Mitchell (parents and brother of the deceased officer), Col. D. W. E. Thomas, Capt. M. F. Thomas, Capt. H. Graystone, Capt. S. Mavrojani, Capt. Gilbert Thomas, and Mr C. W. Best, and there was also a large attendance of parishioners.

An impressive service opened with the hymn "How bright these glorious spirits shine!" and another hymn, "On the Resurrection morning," was sung after the address. Following the Blessing. the "Last Post" was sounded and the National Anthem was sung.

The Bishop, in the course of his address, said they had gathered together in a spirit of neighbourly sympathy and pride to dedicate a memorial to one whose family had been for a considerable number of years resident in that parish. They were agreed it was fitting that there should be set up in every parish church, before the eyes of all men, a memorial to those who, in the great war, had made the great surrender. It was well that generations yet to come should see such tablets as that which had been that day, and should be reminded of the imminent peril to which the nation was exposed and the splendid sacrifices through which it was redeemed from that peril. It was hard to pass over the distance from that quiet church at Talachddu to Mesopotamia in the East, but they should remember that if the final victory was won on the Western Front, that victory was only rendered possible by the achievements of our forces in Mesopotamia and the East. There was no plan so dear to the hearts of our enemies, and especially to the Kaiser himself, as his project for making a great highway from Berlin to Bombay. That plan he cherished for many years, and in nothing was the defeat of the Germans more crushing than in the entire annihilation of all those ambitions. in realising which Mesopotamia would have been a point of enormous strategic importace. We should always honour those who, like Lieut. Mitchell, gave up life with all its joys and prospects in order that we at home might be saved from the perils which beset us.

2nd LIEUTENANT LIONEL ST. GEORGE MORDAUNT-SMITH, 2nd BATTN. ROYAL INNISKILLING FUSILIERS, born at Dover Lodge, Rugby, on the 23rd April, 1896, was the eldest son of the late Mordaunt Kirwan Mordaunt - Smith, Esq., and of Mrs. Mathew, of Milton Bank, Laugharne, Carmarthenahire. He was a grandson of the late Rev. Theodosius Egerton W. Boughton-Leigh, Vicar of Newbold-on-Avon, Warwickshire, and of the late Major Lionel Seaton Smith, 54th Regiment.

Mr. Mordaunt-Smith was educated at Elstree School and at Charterhouse, afterwards going to the R.M.C., Sandhurst. Passing out from the latter, he was gazetted 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in October, 1914, and was attached to the 3rd Battalion at Elrington Barracks, Londonderry. Three Weeks later he joined the 2nd Battalion in France and remained with them until he was killed at Festubert on the night of the 15th-16th May, 1915, while gallantly leading his Platoon in the attack on the German trenches, which he had almost reached when he fell.

The Officer Commanding the Battalion wrote: "He was a real good soldier; the men of his Company were fond of him. He was a brave fellow, and they are the ones unfortunately that get killed. I can assure you that he is a great loss to me."

The Adjutant wrote: "I am very sorry to have to tell you that your son L. Mordaunt-Smith was killed in the attack on the German trenches on the 16th. He was a great friend of mine so I thought I would write to you. It may be some consolation to you to know that he fell a hero leading his Platoon, and not very far from the enemy's position."

His Headmaster at Charterhouse wrote: "It was a real pleasure to feel that he was 'coming out' steadily and to realise the warmheartedness and loyalty that there was in his nature. I liked him, I believed in him, and he seemed to understand and respond. I looked forward to seeing him from time to time and keeping in touch with him. I am sure the character he had developed was not wasted."

A Captain wrote: "I have spoken to a Sergt. of his Company who saw him dead. He says he died instantaneously, and as far as he knew, was hit low down in the stomach and thighs. He is a Sergt. I can depend upon."
