description: Text above is a transcript which I  made some 3 years ago from my father's diary - which I have now misplaced but will continue to search for. I think the spelling is an accurate copy of his.   Subsequently, I looked at my father's army documents at Kew and found that the reason he was invalided out was not given as 'bleeding piles', but I cannot recall the actual words used.   Again, unfortunately, at the moment I cannot access the notes I made at the time but I will try to do so in the near future and add them to this submission if you think it would be of interest.   My father was born in 1896 and died in 1936, when I was 3 years old.

title: Area where William Binning was wounded (1)

description: William Binning was wounded by the railway station in a small village called Le Touquet which straddles the Belgian-French border north of Armentieres.  Amazingly although there is no railway line or station there any more you can still see exactly where the railway and station would have been. When I found the area first it was derelict but over the last year it has been turned into a park, with seats and places to play boules.  Nearby is a British Military Cemetery, Tancrez Farm, where William records in his diary that he was involved in a burial party for a soldier in his section who was shot accidentally.  Exactly one week after that burial William would be fatally wounded a few hundred yards from that grave.  Also nearby is a farm complex called Grande Rabeque. This was referred to frequently in William's diary as the place they rested in when not in the front line.  So the major land marks of William's short experience of war can still be seen and visited today.

title: The memoirs of Ernest Styles (10)

description: Ernest Stanley Styles was born in Coopersale Common, near Epping, in 1893. His family came from a long line of Brickmakers in that area dating back to the 1700's.

In 1912 the family moved to Coggeshall in Essex where they purchased a Brickmaking business. Ernest, his brother and his father worked together there until the start of the First World War.

Both Ernest and his brother, Thomas, joined the Essex Yeomanry and both survived the war without serious wounds. They both returned to the hand making business of making handcrafted bricks and tiles.

Ernest was persueded to write his memories of World War One in 1980. It is mazing how clear his memory was and how many names etc. he remembered. Ernest never dwelt on the horrors of seeing his comrades killed and injured, but the story he wrote highlights the wasted lived and damaged families that can result from war.

This was a man witha strong personality and a great sense of humour who was dearly missed when he died aged 91.

title: Poem: 'The Battle of Gazza [sic]' by Pte JD Morgan

description: This Poem by Pte J. D. Morgan printed in the Montgomeryshire County Times 21 July 1917, is a sample from a folder of research undertaken by Mrs Jones into the men named on the war memorial (1914-1919) of Guilsfield parish (near Welshpool, Montgomeryshire - now Powys, in Wales). During the battle of Gazza in 1916 Pte Frank Arthur, Guilsfield, was wounded. He died in Palestine in 1917, and photos etc. have also been submitted from that collection. The names on the Guilsfield memorial include: Frank Arthur, Ernest Charlton, Edward Evans, Robert Evans, Fred Evans, Charles Galliers, Robert Gainsford, Edward Griffiths,John Higgins, Edwin Jones, James Jones, Charles Jones, William Jones, Alan Langlands, Edward Lloyd, John Lloyd, Richard Morgan, Edward Morris, John Owen, Evan Phillips, Herbert Trevor, David E. Bailey, Herbert Bailey, Arthur Gough, Charles Jones, George R. Jones, Arthur T. Lewis, Mathew W.H. Morris, Richard D.H. Mytton, Gruffydd V. Trevor. Representing a number of regiments of the army, also the Royal Navy and the Royal Flying Corps. Also evident is the volunteers who joined up early in the war, as well as the tribunals which decided that even though farming was a reserved occupation that man-power being so scarce some men would be compelled to join the army, leaving their families, their aging fathers, mothers, sisters and younger siblings to continue to provide food for the war effort - an insight into the home-front in rural Wales.
