I
n August 2014 the world will mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War. The power unleashed by modern war resulted in previously unimagined losses. Over 9 million soldiers died as a result of the fighting. Food shortages, sometimes deliberately inflicted by blockade and sometimes resulting from failed harvests, weakened the people who remained on the home fronts. Nearly 6 million civilians died from disease or starvation. Almost 1 million more were killed as a direct result of military operations. In all, the estimate of dead resulting from the war stands at over 16 million. Some villages sent soldiers to war never to return but some also managed to return home. In 2013 Medwyn Perry and Dougie Bancroft visited 51 villages known as “Thankful Villages” where no traditional war memorial exists as all who left to fight returned, this was
After an appeal in previous issues of the magazine we have received the following stories from the Great War and would like to thank Ivor Boulton and Alison Wells for sending them in.
Henry Calvert Grimes
T
his is a short article about my grandfather, Henry Calvert Grimes, and what I know of his time during the First World War. Born in 1891, Henry Calvert, known as Cal, lived at Hall Farm, Newton on Trent, with his parents Mary and Joseph Grimes and his sister Eleanor. At the age of 19 he joined the Lincolnshire Yeomanry Reserves. Their main barracks were on Burton Road in Lincoln, in what is now the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. The Lincolnshire Yeomanry was formed in 1901 under the Earl of Yarborough and wore a uniform of Lincoln Green. Cal trained in the cavalry and took his own horse, a

homebred mare called ‘The Wren’. Two years later Cal and Wren along with three other troopers, won the section jumping competition. Once war broke out the 1/1st Lincolnshire Yeomanry was commanded to Egypt. Cal and Wren, along with 450 other troopers and their horses, boarded the troop ship HM Transport Mercian. This journey was anything but plain sailing as an excerpt from a newspaper article in the Lincolnshire Chronicle from Friday 30 April 1971 explains. The headline was ‘Horses Were Blown to Pieces and Soldiers' Bodies Cluttered Decks’. The journalist used quotes from Mr H Preston Addey, a fellow trooper in the Lincolnshire Yeomanry. I will summarise very briefly but the full article can be found on the TSL website. It was in November 1915 that the A, B and C squadrons of Lincolnshire Imperial Yeomanry left Southampton for Egypt. HMS Mercian was a coal ship belonging to the Leyland Line of Liverpool and had been specially fitted to take the hundreds of horses belonging to the regiment. She sailed alone completely without escort. Even with three decks there was not enough room to get all the horses under cover and 25 of them were left in open stalls on the top deck. All went well as far as Gibraltar where
Trentside Links they stayed the night. When they started on the second leg of their journey it was a perfect day and many soldiers were on the deck playing bingo when the first sign of trouble came. At 4.30 in the afternoon a shell from a German submarine burst out of the sea over the ship, followed by another which narrowly missed them. That was the start of one and a half hours of shelling with no less that 68 direct hits. Almost the entire crew was lost, including the wheelhouse man which left the ship without a pilot, and all engines had stopped. The regiment was faced with the task of getting the engines going and the ship under way again. This they did, and eventually managed to make some progress. The submarine followed the Mercian for some way into the night, but thinking that the boat was sinking did not attack again.
were in a state of collapse. Once in Egypt, all of 1916 was spent on the Middle East Campaign in Egypt and Palestine fighting the Turks. At times the heat was unbearable and soldiers and horses had long hard days. Towards the end of the war the soldiers of the Lincolnshire Yeomanry had their horses taken away from them and they were ordered to retrain as machine gunners. Henry Calvert was allocated No. 95985. Heartbroken by losing their trusted steeds, they buried their saddlery and spurs in the desert and inscribed an epitaph reading;
The next morning they limped in to Oran harbour in Algeria where they made arrangements for the dead and wounded. With the men lost or wounded in the attack, the regiment had been cut by half in one fell swoop. A fortnight was spent repairing the boat and looking after the remaining horses. By the time they reached Alexandria most of the horses

While he was still in France he contracted influenza and was in hospital in Camiers during February 1919. This we know from a letter that the war office wrote to Joseph Grimes, Cal’s father.
Stranger pause and shed a tear A regiment’s heart lies buried here Sickened and died by no disorder But broken by a staggering order Our hearts were warm, theirs as cold as Huns To take our horses and give us machine guns For cavalry they said there is no room So we buried our spurs in a desert tomb

Henry Calvert was released from actual military duty on 2nd June 1919. He then came home to the farm where he stayed and worked. He remained a keen horseman and was a regular on the hunting field, with his horse Blackie. Grandpa died in 1976 when I was 8-years-old, but it has always been known in the family that he hardly ever spoke of his time in the war. This has been pieced together from information found in an envelope in a drawer in the farmhouse, researched by my niece Hannah Watson, and with information from the Museum of Lincolnshire Life.

Uncle Ivor
M
y father's oldest brother, Ivor, was born in June 1895, and enlisted in the army, Machine Gun Corps, in 1915. He did not return from the 1914-18 war, my grandmother receiving the dreaded telegram saying he had been killed on 17th February 1917, aged 21. As a child, I remember hearing the family legend that he (a) was killed going "over the top" on the Western front, (b) was gassed at Ypres (c) was killed in 1918 on the very last day of the war. As I later learned from another elderly uncle, none of these was true - he was killed fighting the Turks in Mesopotamia. But how did he die? Killed on the battlefield? Died of wounds? Of disease (many soldiers did)? I have been able to find out very little. He has no known grave and his name appears (with 40,000 others) on the Basra War Memorial in lraq. Just name, initials, and regiment (Machine Gun Corps) - that is the extent of my knowledge, and because I am named after him (Ivor) I feel an affinity with him and would like to have known more.

Three or four years ago I watched a television drama-documentary about a company of British soldiers in Mesopotamia captured by Turkish troops in 1917. It was a true story, very moving, and described how the captives were locked in a barn, denied food and water and subsequently killed in cold blood by being machine-gunned to death. Watching the programme, I wondered if my uncle could have been one of them. Probably not, but...who can tell? So how did Uncle Ivor die? Battlefield? Wounds? Or was he murdered? I will never know.

On Sun-Tipped Wings We Remember Part 2
I
n last month’s edition of theTrentside Links I reflected that it is the 70th anniversary this year of two RAF wartime bomber crashes that occured within two months of each other in the parishes of Fenton and Kettlethorpe. The aircraft, a Short Stirling and a Avro Lancaster, crashed killing seven young aircrew. My idea of writing these articles is to remember the short lives of these young airmen. In the weeks after D-Day 6th June 1944, Bomber Command were still continuing the D-Day offensive by bombing German-held strongholds in France. On the 7th August 1944 Avro Lancaster Mk1 LM292 PM-K (K-KING ) from 103 Squadron based at the Lincolnshire airfield of RAF Elsham Wold, took off for a bombing raid with the aiming point being at Fontenay le Mamion near Caan, France. 1019 aircraft attacked five aiming points which were carefully controlled, however only 660 aircraft actually bombed due to bad visibility caused by heavy smoke and low cloud. LM 292 took off from RAF Elsham Wold at 20.52 hours with 7 crew 2154 gallons of fuel and 13000lbs of bombs.

The outward flight to the target was uneventful, but on the approach to the aiming point LM292’s crew were told to abort the mission due to bad visibility and to return to base.
30minutes into the mission. Robinson, Sandberg, Porter, Hurley and Vickery bailed out from the rear crew door, George Vickery had a lucky escape, as he jumped down from his mid-upper turret his foot went through H2S radar scanner cover below him, Stan Porter saw it happen and went back to rescue George and released his trapped foot and then threw him out of the rear crew door of the Lancaster.

I wrote to Robbie who was overwhelmed about the details I had about the Lancaster crash. Robbie was able to locate in Canada Elizabeth Heney, his pilot’s sister, and two other members of the crew of LM292, Stan Porter and Bert Sandberg, incidentally Bert George Vickery in was the oldest member of the Lancaster rear turrett crew.
Sadly Sgt John Corless’ remains were never found. John had married his longtime love Winnie only the weekend before his tragic death at Pemberton, Lancashire. His name is honoured on panel 215 at the Runnymede Memorial in Englefield Green, Egham, Surrey.
In early 1994 I undertook the task of finding some of the survivors of the Lancaster crash and I amazingly found George Vickery, who lived in Emsworth near Portsmouth, through a teletext appeal on Channel 4 television. George was a member of the Elsham Wold Aircrew Association and he knew the

Trentside Reports
Kettlethorpe and District Women's Institute May 2014
T
he President announced several events which are taking place soon in our new summer. By the time you read this we shall have had a visit by the Fire Brigade band - always a pleasure. There is to be a garden party at the Bransby Home for Horses on June 17th which commences at 7pm, £3.00 each member. A few days later we have a Country Fair at Kettlethorpe on June 21st from 12 midday until 4pm. Then in July on the 23rd there is to be a tea and bowls party at Naylor's Hills within Laughterton. There is no obligation to play bowls but it can be tried! Our speaker was Mr John Teanby from Louth. A gentleman with a varied history - nautical, policing and teaching. John is now teaching and producing pottery. He began with a lump of clay and led us through the transformation on the potter's wheel making several bowls and stands, explaining as he went the different movements, and afterwards showing us replicas of these same pots during their journey through colouring and glazing. There is certainly more to be done after the making, including firing and the use of kilns. Linda Mullally gave a vote of thanks. The competition - for a pot of course, was won by BarbaraTaylor. Yvonne and Christine Hollis were second and third. Raffles were taken home by Janet Willcock, Doreen Wright, Christine East, Barbara Gilbert and yours truly. June 2014 It is fairly traditional that we have a
14
garden or outside meeting in June each year to celebrate the summer under blue skies but the last year or two blue skies were hidden under dark clouds, so this year it was decided to partly cover the risk. We were indeed outside though, at the Bransby Home for Horses, and it was a pleasant evening. I personally had not been there for about twenty years and was amazed to see how it has changed, more fields, buildings, and of course horses. We were escorted on a walk around much of the area by Jo Plummer, who has worked at the home for several years. In each field she named the horses and told us their stories, their special equine friends, histories and peculiarities. We were greeted, followed or ignored by the residents as they preferred since this was evening - their time off and what were humans doing coming round? There are currently 260 horses and a few donkeys at Bransby, and 170 fostered out. Not all horses are cruelty cases or abandoned but some cannot be contained by their owners, or are found homeless. Once they are judged to be fit and friendly fostering can be considered. After our walk we returned to the centre building for refreshment in the cafe and toured the shop with its toys and gifts before setting off home. Elise Hawker Lea
Biggest Change to Voter Registration in a Generation
T
ake control as Individual Electoral Registration will give people more control over the process and increase the accuracy of the register. The next step towards a voting system fit for the 21st century has arrived as Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) prepare to contact voters across the UK about the changes to the electoral register. Individual Electoral Registration (IER) will give people more control and ownership over the process and increase the accuracy of the register – with the new system able to verify that everyone on the register is who they say they are. This will make sure that there is greater trust in the legitimacy and fairness of our elections. This change gets rid of the outdated ‘head of household’ registration system and places electoral registration in the hands of individuals. Members of the public will be contacted by their local ERO to inform them of what, if anything, they need to do next. Today also marks the launch of a TV,
Trentside Links online and billboard public awareness campaign by the Electoral Commission to raise awareness of the changes. The process is supported by a new online system launched last month which makes registering easier than ever. People can now register by simply providing their name, address, date of birth and National Insurance number in what is a secure, convenient, and modern way of registering to vote. Register to vote now. Minister of State at the Cabinet Office Greg Clark said: “It is only right that in a country which has such a long and proud history of democratic participation, we ensure that we have an electoral registration system fit for the 21st century.
“These changes ensure that individuals register securely and enable them to register in the simplest possible way. “Under the new system, around 80% of those already on the electoral register will be automatically added after their name and address is matched against existing government records. Those people who are not successfully matched may need to provide additional information to be registered, but thanks to the new online electoral registration system, this is now a quick and easy process that takes as little as 3 minutes.” Shelley Knowles Communications Officer West Lindsey District Council

Poppy Appeal 2014
T
he Royal British Legion sponsors the annual POPPY APPEAL and collections will be made between: 25th October and 11th November Remembrance Sunday is 9th November
This year marks the Centenary Anniversary of the outbreak of World War 1 when during the following 4 years the British Great War dead totalled 1,114,744 dead and missing with countless more injured servicemen requiring help and support to overcome the afflictions and horrors of the battlefield. The Royal British Legion was founded in 1921 by combining four ex-service organisations. The first official Poppy day in Britain was 11 November 1921, today with many conflicts in between, their work is as vital as ever. This year
British troops continue to be posted to the forefront of some of the world’s most dangerous trouble spots. In Afghanistan British forces have been operating there since 2001and where during that time 453 of our troops have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Thankfully, this latter theatre of operations is to be completed by the end of this year, but the need for public support is ongoing. Some of the casualties are so badly injured that they will require care and support for the rest of their lives. The Royal British Legion spends nearly £1.4 million a week delivering health and welfare support to service people young and old and their families. They have committed £50 million over 10 years to fund both personnel recovery centres and also our new Battle Back Centre to assist our injured service personnel return to active life.
Jay is also available for Skype & phone readings as well as 1-2-1 16
Last year the Trentside villages raised a magnificent £2288 for the 2013 Poppy Appeal, thank you for all who supported and contributed to this Appeal and thank you in anticipation of your continued support for this year. We are very grateful for the help John and Denise Spendlove gave to the Legion for 10 years collecting in Newton on Trent. Since they have now moved away if there is anyone else interested who feel they have time to take a collecting tin around the village during Remembrancetide please contact me. Shoulder to shoulder with all who serve. Richard Farley Local Poppy Appeal Organiser Tel: 01427 717030 e-mail: richardafarley@btinternet.com
