  Military Service	1915-1916
  	World War I
  	Source: email from Bob Brunsdon I've found Frederick William Maw - died 26/09/16, also on the Somme. The 12th Middlesex were formed at Mill Hill in August 1914 as part of K2 (Kitchener's second army of volunteers) and attached to 54th Brigade in 18th (Eastern) Division. Moved to Colchester and then on to Codford in May 1915 for training. Frederick enlisted at Woldingham in Surrey and landed in France on 17/11/15. He was killed in a major attack upon the village of Thiepval and its chateau (the memorial where he is commemorated now stands on the site of Thiepval Chateau). Again the attack was preceded by an artillery bombardment and they also had two tanks in support. The final objective was the infamous Schwaben Redoubt, behind the village. The 12th Middlesex's role was to lead the attack and sweep through the village, with the 11th Royal Fusiliers behind them, clearing the buildings and cellars. The Middlesex advanced unchecked until machine gun fire from the ruins of the chateau held up the advance until a tank arrived and crushed the resistance. The tank then ditched in Thiepval. They successfully reached their objective on the right and the CO of the Middlesex moved forward and set up his HQ in the ruined chateau. The left, however, were still held up fighting in the village along with the Fusiliers. Eventually, they were satisfied with the gains they had achieved and set up a new line ready to attack Schwaben redoubt a day or two later. The fighting was fierce and included much hand-to-hand, and the Middlesex were highly regarded for their efforts. In short, it was a very successful operation. His service record survives (most were lost through bombing and flooding in WW2) and this contains his attestation papers, postings, leave etc. It also shows that his conduct record sheet was clean, he received treatment for wounds/injury on four occasions, the first on 16/01/16 when he was treated for scalded feet (probably tipped a mess tin of boiling water over his foot in the trenches!). The other entries on his treatment sheet are, unfortunately, unreadable. It also shows that in 1921 his father wrote to the War Graves Commssion asking about the whereabouts of his son's body (he was initially reported missing). It seems his battalion buried him in a trench close to Thiepval, but that the grave subsequently became lost. This means that the marker they placed there didn't survive the war, a not unusual occurrence. He was probably wrapped in his groundsheet and buried along with other casualties from his battalion in a length of captured trench, and remains there to this day. A package containing his personal effects was returned to the family. You can see his service record online at Ancestry.co.uk <http://Ancestry.co.uk>. Interesting link: "Zero hour had been fixed at 12.35.p.m. 26th September 1916, and punctually at that hour the first barrage commenced. Immediately this occurred the assaulting battalions left their trenches in excellent order and commenced to move forward to their first objective. The German barrage did not start till 12.40.p.m., i.e. 5 minutes after the flag fell. … First contact with the enemy was obtained at R.31.a.6.7. by the 11th Royal Fusiliers. This slightly retarded the left flank, but the general assault proceeded without check until the enemy's trench [map ref.] was reached. Here stubborn fighting immediately commenced , particularly at an enemy strong point at R.25.c.7.2. … The assault then proceeded slowly … In the meanwhile the general line had advanced towards the Chateau, but was checked on the right by extremely deadly fire from that point. At this time the leading "tank" opportunely arrived and effectively dealt with the enemy's machine guns round the Chateau. It seems doubtful, if the Chateau defence had not been dealt with by the "tank", whether the attack would have progressed beyond that line. As it was, the assaulting Companies of the 12th Middlesex passed it right and left. It may be mentioned here that the second "tank" arrived too late to be of any value, and was "ditched" between R.25.c.8.1 and d.5.9. The leading "tank" after passing the Chateau was "ditched" about 100 yards N. of it, and, resting at a very steep angle, was unable to make use of its armament. "...This hard fighting had delayed progress, so that the barrage could not be followed up closely, but meanwhile the 12th Middlesex had carried line after line of trenches until they reached the chateau, where one company was checked by deadly machine-gun fire. Just at this critical moment the leading tank came up, having crossed over from Thiepval Wood, and its arrival was most opportune, as it dealt with the enemy machine guns; and the leading companies of the Middlesex passed determinedly round both flanks of the chateau. Two tanks had been assigned to the brigade, and were intended to lead the infantry into Thiepval and then on to Schwaben Redoubt. Unfortunately, having done excellent service, this tank subsided into the mud and remained there, while its fellow arrived a little later and suffered the same fate. That was the end of the "Creme de Menthe" and "Cordon Bleu" as active combatants on this great day." (From the Divisional report of the battle that day). "Creme de Menthe" was the tank commanded by Captain Arthur Inglis (formerly of the Gloucestershire Regiment). He was educated at Cheltenham College and is one of the subjects of a tour I am organising to the Western Front this September, concentrating on the use of tanks in WW1 (I'm a battlefield guide in my spare time). A small world! Bob.
