title: Postcard of "Bill" (1)

description: The attached postcard was found by me whilst searching through my late father's papers. I believe it would have been given to my grandfather James F Gray (known as Jim) by his pal Bill. My grandfather served with the 16th Royal Scots and was wounded on the first day of the battle of the Somme a few months after his 18th birthday. I believe Bill to be W (William) Taylor, a friend of my grandfather's, both of whom came from the village of Dirleton in East Lothian, although I have been unable to verify that as fact.
Although my grandfather survived the war (he died in 1975) W Taylor was killed in 1917 age 19.

title: Jack Powell's Diary

description: Driver, Later Company Quarter Master Sergeant Jack Powell, Meritorious Service Medal (MSM), 1894 - 1941. A. S. C. (Army Service Corps.), 18th Division, Service Number: T2-12960. 

This is his diary from the Western Front dating 25th July 1915 to 1st January 1919 (Transcribed as written in pencil in his Field Message Book). 

Editor's Comment: T2 suggests that the man in question was in motorised transport. The field book that the diary is written in was not produced until 1918, thus it is believed that entries added were written from other sources or in retrospect.

The letter must date from late 1915 or early 1916 because Paul won a scholarship to Charterhouse in 1916 and the letter mentions his studies for this.

description: The inscription on this trophy reads:-
HORSE SHOW FRANCE 1918
   1ST PRIZE
JUMPING OTHER RANKS
 CPL J H MARKS
WARWICK BY RHA

James Herbert (Jim) Marks was my grandfather and I inherited this trophy when he died in 1992. He won the event riding his late C/O's horse which was later returned to the owners family in Norfolk. The guns fell silent and what did they do? - hold a horse show!
JHM joined his 4 brothers in the army in 1914 (lying about his age)and all survived. He joined the Warwick Battery RHA a TA unit which immediately went to France and stayed there for the entire duration. He spoke little of his experiences in the war but gained a reputation as a horse breaker.
After the war he married and endured periods of financial uncertainty as did many others. JHM retained his TA status and his equestrian skills and I have the replica of the Earl of Warwick Challenge Cup awarded to Sgt J H Marks in 1926.
In 1939 his was appointed quartermaster to the Warwickshire TA units and continued as such until his retirement in 1964. The same year he was made MBE for services to the army and received a presentation of silverware (which I also have)from the Warwickshire TA and AFC Units in appreciation of his long service.
