title: Diary of Driver A Bailey (2)

description: Allan Bailey was born at Clifton-with-Norwood, Yorkshire. On leaving school he became a farm worker.

In 1916 he joined the 66th Brigade R.F.A. and was posted to Mesopotamia. Coming from a farming background Allan was familiar with working with horses. Therefore, he was a driver - of a horse and cart (not motorised transport).

The diary he kept from 1 Jan 1918 to 23 Apr 1919 gives a personal brief account of his experiences.

The diary starts with daily entries, even including 'nothing doing'. It should be remembered that soldiers were not actively engaged in battle every day. Eventually the phrase was replaced by a horizontal stroke, and as the year progressed he only recorded details that he deemed to be relevant.

Possible interesting entries are:
14 Jan 1918 - Samllpox breaking out at the camp.
25 Jan 1918 - Aeroplanes bombed Bagdad.
19 Mar 1918 - Heavy rain. Big flood destroyed a bridge and 2 Indians drowned.
16 Oct 1918 - Letter from home saying Unlce John killed in France. (Note - It took 9 weeks for the news to reach him.)
5 Nov 1918 - Admitted to hospital (with malaria), and discharged on 3 Dec 1918.
17 Mar 1919 - Embark on SS 'Port Darwin' with 17,000 men. 

Hence the attachment 'Return Sail'.

Allan Bailey died in 1984, a month after his 90th birthday. His diary is now in the possession of his grandson.

title: Edward Delme Evans (4)

description: A colour photocopy of a photo of Private Edward Delme Evans 55318 of 2nd Batt. Welch Regiment, and of the Laundry, Maesmawr, Montgomeryshire (now Powys), Wales.

Photographs and photocopies of Evans' War and Victory medals, a newspaper cutting after his death, the Memorial Plaque, and his family's memorial to him on silk.

Mrs Jones: Edward D. Evans was killed at the Battle of Ypres on the 17 November 1917. He had just returned to the front having had an appendix operation and at which time the wound was still weeping. Edward was the son of Edward and Jane Evans, of the Laundry, Maesmawr and later of Tanyard Row, Llansantffraid. He was just 20 years age. There is no known grave, his name appears on the Tyne Cot Memorial, Zonnebeke, in Belgium. Private Edward Evans was one of 7 children. His father was a clogger by trade who worked around the woods in the Maesmawr district selecting alders suitable to make clog soles, these were then cut down, shaped into soles and piled in a pyramid fashion to dry through. Pte Evans was a pupil at Maesmawr School with some of his brothers and sisters. After the war the family moved to Llansantfraidd where the father could continue his trade in the clogging business.

This 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). The names 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.

Part of large collection of photos and memoribilia relating to Serjeant 3091 (later 240965) Charles Woodward Carr, 2/5th Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment - kept by Mrs Gill Porter and Mr Tony Carr of their father.

Editor's Comment:
Two other photographs of the same group of men are also submitted, though they appear to have changed places between shots.

Charles Carr wears the 'Imperial Service' tablet on his right breast, indicating that he was a member of the Territorial Force and had volunteered for foreign service.
The group have been issued with the emergency Pattern 1914 infantry equipment, and are armed with the Japanese Type 38 Arisaka rifle and bayonet, imported on the outbreak of war to meet the demand for training weapons.

title: My Shot'

description: My father served in the Coldstream Guards and saw action at Loos, Ypres and the Somme. He survived all these (though wounded on the Somme). Finally at Cambrai he received a shot through the shoulder. This was the "Blighty wound" which every soldier hoped for. Not fatal or life threatening but serious enough to be sent back to England. Whilst recovering in hospital in Manchester he wrote this poem which indicates the joy and relief of getting this kind of wound.

Editor's Comment:
Opening lines of poem: 'In Cambrai battle I was shot | on the 30th of November last...'
