title: The memoirs of Ernest Styles (21)

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: Postcard of "Bill"

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.
