FOREWORD
BY
COLONEL H. A. R. MAY, C.B., V.D.,
_recently Commanding the Artists’ Rifles_.
As one who has been intimately connected with the Corps for nearly
forty years, and who yields place to none in his interest in, and love
for, his old Regiment, I have awaited the publication of this Roll of
Honour of the Artists’ Rifles with an eagerness that I would find it
hard to describe. For it is a Record of which, not only every past or
present member of the Regiment, but everyone who values the proved
possibilities of the Territorial Force may rightly be proud.
The story it tells is one of alert and patriotic acceptance of the
responsibilities cast upon us by the war, of many thousands of officers
trained for service in the field, of duty nobly done, of gallant
service rendered--even unto death. And in no boasting rhetoric is the
tale related: the narrative unfolds itself, modestly and simply, in
columns of names and figures which speak more eloquently perhaps than
any letterpress that could accompany them. Every line records good
service voluntarily rendered: one in every seven lines denotes the
splendid tragedy of a promising young life sacrificed for his country.
The book contains a complete record of all whose names have been
inscribed in our Muster Roll since August, 1914; of Commissions
obtained; of honours and decorations awarded (with particulars, where
published, of the deeds by which they were gained); and of casualties
suffered.
This colossal work, although I know it has been a labour of love, has
been compiled and edited with immense and continuous care, spread over
some years, by Major S. Stagoll Higham, V.D., assisted by a
devoted band of willing and enthusiastic helpers, to all of whom the
gratitude of every comrade is due--and is given. It is issued with
pride to preserve for future generations the memory of men who, when
the occasion arose voluntarily served their country and their Regiment
in the greatest emergency.
The time has almost come when the feelings with which we regard the
greatest possible Sacrifice made by our best and bravest during the
awful days of 1914–18 begin to be free from regret and longing and
sadness. And my earnest wish and hope is that when the relatives and
friends of those Artists who were then called upon to give up all turn
the pages of this book, they will be strengthened to do so with pride
and thankfulness only.
Despite the gloom that may sometimes come to us at happenings in these
present times, my firm conviction is that so long as we can produce men
of the quality of those whose names and deeds are enshrined in this
Roll of Honour we can go forward joyfully and with every confidence
into the unknown future. And may we all be inspired to carry out our
present obligations and duties patriotically, and to live henceforth
lives worthy of the example of those 2,003 Artists who died for us that
we as an Empire might live. This would be the best War Memorial of all.
_November 11th, 1921._
EDITOR’S PREFACE.
At an Army examination in 1913 the candidates, who included a few
Officers of the Artists in pursuit of the coveted “Q,” were confronted
with the following conundrum:--
“_Supposing a war continues--What machinery exists in England
for supplying the wastage in Officers?_”
Little did any of those candidates dream how soon this question would
insist on an immediate answer: that within the next twelve months the
old regular Army, hopelessly out-gunned, would have been sacrificed:
and that the nation would be called upon to provide, and would
eventually succeed in producing, from civilians, upwards of a quarter
of a million new Officers.
Still less did any member of the Artists then imagine that the quota
of such new Officers furnished by his own Battalion of amateur
soldiers--one of the original Rifle Volunteer Corps that was raised
by Painters and Art students in post-Crimean days and incorporated
in 1908 in the new Territorial Force as the “28th London (Artists
Rifles)”--would run into five figures. Or that within a few months of
the outbreak of hostilities ex-Artists (over 1,000 in number) would
have been gazetted to every regular infantry regiment in the British
Army including all the Foot Guards.
There is no more striking incident in the whole history of the Corps,
since the day when in beards and shakos our ancestors made their first
appearance on parade, than the story of the first little batch of
men suddenly called out of our ranks to replace, in the field, Army
Officers who had become casualties.
From this small beginning, extemporised to meet an emergency, sprang
the huge organisation which in the words of Earl French may be said
to have laid the foundation of that Officers’ School of War whose
ramifications were soon to extend, not only behind all the fighting
lines, but throughout the United Kingdom. By the end of the war this
Territorial unit had furnished over 10,000 Officers to our big Armies,
as chronicled in detail in the following pages, and had also trained in
its schools in France and in England several thousand cadets from other
Regiments, in addition to maintaining latterly a fighting Battalion in
the line.
THE FIRST BATTALION.
On the 2nd August, 1914, the 2nd London Division T.F. to which the
Artists were allocated as Army Troops, assembled on Salisbury Plain for
their annual camp. At midnight the Division was recalled post-haste
to London and on the 5th August was mobilised for active service and
placed on duty the same day. Within a fortnight it moved out to its
War Station in Hertfordshire, minus the Artists, who were left behind,
much to their chagrin “to help in the defence of London.” Quartered
successively at Manchester Street Schools, Lord’s Cricket Ground,
and the Tower, they presently rejoined their Division in the country
but had not been there a week when at less than 48 hours’ notice the
Battalion was embarked overseas, landing in the critical period at the
end of October, 1914.
On their way up to Ypres they were dramatically halted at Bailleul by
a Staff-Officer (as it happened, an old Artists Adjutant, Col. Romer)
with an urgent message from the Commander-in-Chief who wished to see
them. They de-bussed and were visited by him there. The result of an
historic interview between him and Colonel May was that a few days
later some 50 “other ranks,” public school and University men who had
taken to heart Lord Roberts’ warning and trained in peace time, were
rapidly given some practical tips, promoted to Second Lieutenant and
the next day went straight into action (still wearing their Territorial
private’s uniform and Artists badge with the addition of a “pip”)
against some of Germany’s most famous Regiments, in command of seasoned
regular soldiers of the immortal Seventh Division.[1]
The experiment of thus attaching Artists to the Old Contemptibles as
“Probationary Officers” having proved successful, a further batch was
called for and orders were issued by the G.O.C. directing the Battalion
to be transformed into an Officers’ Training Corps to be drawn on from
time to time to supply Officers, the remainder being retained as a
fighting unit to be used as occasion demanded. He thus refers to the
matter in his first Despatch.
“I established the Battalion as a Training Corps for officers
in the field. The cadets pass through a course, which includes
some thoroughly practical training as all cadets do a tour of
48 hours in the trenches, and afterwards write a report on what
they see and notice. They also visit an observation post of a
battery or group of batteries, and spend some hours there. A
Commandant has been appointed, and he arranges and supervises
the work, sets schemes for practice, administers the school,
delivers lectures, and reports on the candidates. The cadets are
instructed in all branches of military training suitable for
platoon commanders. Machine-gun tactics, a knowledge of which
is so necessary for all junior officers, is a special feature
of the course of instruction. When first started the school was
able to turn out officers at the rate of 75 a month. This has
since been increased to 100. Reports received from Divisional
and Army Corps Commanders on officers who have been trained at
the school are most satisfactory.”
Earl French has since on several occasions written and spoken on this
subject in generous terms and in particular at a recent reunion of
survivors, when he said:--
“I shall never, never forget the first visit I paid to the
Artists after they landed in France, or the wonderful impression
they left on my mind of the possibilities which were in that
Corps of furnishing a want which was so terrible to all of us at
that time, the supply of officers. What really influenced me in
trying the experiment I had to try was the appreciation I had
of the splendid material of which I saw you were composed, and
of the marked aptitude of Colonel May and those who helped him
for organizing and commanding such a Corps. Just at the period
I am speaking of we had suffered fearful casualties, and the
proportion of losses in officers was higher than in any other
rank, and it was going on every day. I was really positively
at my wits’ end, suffering almost agony, to know where I could
get officer reinforcements. You all know how any fighting force
must deteriorate, and deteriorate badly, unless this supply of
officers is kept up properly and regularly.
Well, in this trouble and difficulty the Artists came to my
help, and I shall never forget as long as I live the courage,
the determination, the skill, the organizing power which they
displayed in trying to meet my wishes. By day and by night,
almost under the enemy’s guns, and very often under close
rifle-fire in the trenches, they commenced, they carried on,
and they developed this work to the very highest standard of
efficiency, and they showed clearly what men of energy and skill
could do in this direction when they knew how. They taught us,
indeed, a very great lesson, among the many lessons which all
we regular soldiers had to learn in the war. We never knew
what the possibilities were before. We used to talk about it
taking two years to train an artillery driver, and, above all
things, we said we could not turn out officers under a certain
considerable length of time. Well the Artists showed us we made
a mistake there, because they turned out a most efficient body
of officers, and kept up everything they said they would. From
that moment they became the model for and an example to that
large number of training establishments all over France, which
to the end of the war turned out officers with the utmost speed
and the utmost efficiency. What they suffered in doing it is
recorded in this book which I now hold in my hand (Artists
Rifles Regimental Roll of Honour, 1914–1919), and I may recall
at this moment, without frivolity, the fact that these boys,
all of them, looked death straight in the face, laughing and
smiling, and that the Artists earned at that time the sobriquet
of ‘The Suicide Club.’ That, perhaps, is the highest honour that
could be paid to them.”
The School in France was originally run entirely by Colonel May and his
Officers and Sergeants, but presently, as the enemy pressure relaxed,
he had the advantage of the assistance of Regular Officers (one of
whom was appointed “Commandant of School”) and gradually as additional
candidates for commissions began to arrive from other regiments, the
two units were worked as separate organisations.
In April, 1915, quarters were changed from Bailleul to St. Omer and a
new Commandant to the school was appointed, which from that date became
“G.H.Q. School.” Thereafter Artists who came out in drafts, together
with selected N.C.O’s. from Cavalry, Artillery, Canadian and other
units sent up for instruction in Infantry work, were first trained in
“the Colonel’s Class” and on passing out went on to this School until
July, 1916, when the Battalion was specially authorised by Earl Haig to
send candidates approved by their C.O. direct to Commissions.
Another branch of their early activities was the staffing of the
Machine Gun School at Visques, near G.H.Q., which was started by a
Hythe Instructor (Major Baker-Carr), who had one Hythe Sergeant to
assist him. They trained as assistants 16 men from the Artists, who
in their turn trained others of their comrades, until eventually
multitudes of little groups (each of eight Officers or N.C.O’s.
temporarily withdrawn from the trenches) were daily to be seen dotted
all over the parade ground keenly studying the intricacies and tactics
of the weapon, expounded to them by an Artists’ Sergeant who had
specialised in the subject. A large proportion of such Instructors
afterwards passed on to Commissions in the M.G. Corps, Tanks, R.F.C.,
and other units where their expert knowledge was invaluable.[2]
Reinforced from time to time by strong drafts, the special task of
supplying and training Officers thus undertaken by the Artists kept
them at G.H.Q. (where as “Headquarters Battalion” they were also
entrusted with multifarious other and responsible duties) for about 2½
years. During this period there were of course considerable changes in
personnel. The bulk of the original N.C.O’s. and men had soon obtained
Commissions, while senior Captains had been promoted to command
Battalions in the field, and many junior Officers had been attached
or transferred to regular Regiments. In December, 1915, Col. May was
invalided home. On recovering from a severe illness he was appointed
to the important post, which he held till the end of the War, of
Commandant at Tidworth of the Southern Command School of Instruction
for Infantry Officers, where over 14,000 Officers (including 5,000
Australians) passed through his curriculum. He was succeeded in France
by his Second-in-command, Lt. Col. Chatfeild-Clarke, who carried
on until the summer of 1917, when the authorities decided to close
down Cadet Schools in France and to send all future candidates for
Commissions back to England for training. Thereupon the remaining
Officers and men, less 200 cadets whose training was on the point of
completion, at last had an opportunity of fulfilling the role for
which the Artists had volunteered in 1914 (the reason they then went
to France), of going into action together as a fighting unit, and they
were allotted to the 190th Brigade in the Royal Naval Division (63rd).
There was nothing very nautical about the 190th, the explanation being
that there were not enough naval men available at that time to make up
an entire Division, so the Army was called in to complete it by adding
four Battalions.
Appended to this Preface is an abridged account of their adventures
in the line for which the Editor is indebted to Captains Money and
Hewitt and to Col. Goldthorp, whose contribution is of especial value
as shewing the impressions, necessarily unbiassed by preconceived
Regimental associations, of a “foreign” C.O. when in command of a
Battalion of the Artists. His very live account of a modern battle will
be of absorbing interest, both to those who have shared this experience
and to those who have not been through the mill.
THE SECOND BATTALION.
Prior to the departure of the original Battalion overseas, a second
(Reserve) Battalion, distinguished as “2/28th London,” had been raised
under the command of Col. Horsley, the late Commanding Officer of
the Artists, who was assisted by Officers transferred from the First
Battalion (1/28th) or promoted from the ranks. Enrolment started on
the 31st August, 1914, and within a week 5,000 would-be recruits had
applied for admission, ‘Varsity Blues, rowing men and athletes of every
description, mostly without any previous military training. Uniforms
and arms were for a time unobtainable, but soon every one of the 1,000
selected recruits had succeeded in purchasing a khaki outfit at ruinous
prices, from somewhere, and presently the authorities unearthed a large
supply of ancient Martini-Henry carbines. The sole equipment then
provided was a regulation water-bottle for each man but with no means
of attaching the same to the person of the soldier. Mufti overcoats
were worn en banderole and rations were carried in neat brown paper
packets tied on to waist-belts of every hue and shape.
After three or four months recruit training with only 50 modern rifles
available, interspersed with daily journeys into Kent of strong
working parties to assist in the construction of “the last ditch,” the
Battalion was properly equipped and armed and moved to Roehampton,
thence to camp in Richmond Park where they also initiated a valuable
machine gun school.
Like many similar units this Reserve Battalion was eventually drained
dry in supplying drafts to its 1st Battalion overseas. It also
furnished Officers for the New Armies and some other Territorial
Units. Col. Horsley was then appointed to the command of the 104th
Provisional Battalion for Home Defence, stationed at the Tower of
London, and eventually finished up his 42 years service in the Artists
by proceeding overseas to a Staff appointment as Area Commandant at
Englebelmer in France.
THE THIRD BATTALION AND NO. 15 (ARTISTS’ RIFLES) O.C.B.
Meanwhile on the 1st January, 1915, by which date old Artists and
others were beginning to arrive from the Colonies for training as
Officers, a third Battalion, “3/28th London” had been started (at first
severely restricted to two Companies under a Major), in which all
subsequent recruits had to be enrolled. It was placed under the command
of Lt.-Col. William Shirley, an old friend of the Corps, recently
retired from the Indian Army, who had been acting as Second-in-command
of 2/28th. He brought very special qualifications to the post, having
been for some years an Army Instructor in India, at Sandhurst, and
at Cambridge University, where on the outbreak of war he was holding
the appointment of Director of Military Studies. On occasions this
Battalion, which was principally officered in the first instance by
senior N.C.O’s sent home for the purpose from 1/28th in France, was
over 3,000 strong and in 3½ years had passed 9,352 recruits through
its ranks. After a period of recruit training in London, which
included the construction at Kenwood of a series of entrenchments and
dug-outs on the most up-to-date Continental models, it also went into
camp in Richmond Park, whence it was moved in July, 1915, to High
Beech in Epping Forest, thence to Hare Hall, Romford, and finally to
Berkhampstead, and on the absorption of the original 2nd Battalion by
the 1st it was re-numbered 2/28th.[3]
In May, 1915, instructions were issued for the formation within this
Battalion of a separate School of Instruction for newly gazetted
Officers of other Territorial regiments on similar lines to the School
in France and during the next few months upwards of 1,500 such Officers
passed through the School courses and examinations.
In November, 1915, the Regiment was officially recognised by Army
Order[4] as an Officers’ Training Corps, and the Home Battalion became
the 2nd Artists Rifles O.T.C.
In March, 1916, its separate School, then at Gidea Park, was converted
into four Companies of cadets to which recruits were passed on for
training as Officers after receiving a preliminary military training
in the ranks of the other four Companies, the whole being under the
command of Colonel Shirley and run by Artists’ Officers and Sergeant
Instructors. In August, 1916, by which date the organisation of Officer
Cadet Battalions throughout the United Kingdom had been perfected, the
four Cadet Companies were separated from Colonel Shirley’s Battalion
and transformed into “No. 15 (Artists Rifles), O.C.B.” which was placed
under the command of Lt.-Col. E. St. L. Shaw (1st East Surrey) an
invalided Regular Officer, with a Staff of Artists and other Officers
and Sergeant Instructors. Thenceforth recruits enrolled in 3/28th were
sent, on completion of their preliminary training, indiscriminately
to No. 15 or to any other O.C.B. in which there were vacancies at the
moment, while No. 15 as part of the general scheme of these O.C.B.’s
received Cadets from other units besides the Artists.
In 1918 Colonel Shaw was succeeded by Colonel Gascoigne who retained
command of this O.C.B. until the end of the War.
In July, 1918, Colonel Shirley was compelled by ill-health to
relinquish the command of 3/28th, and was succeeded by Lt.-Col.
Ostle (an Artists Officer who went out in October, 1914, as a junior
Captain, rose to be Second-in-command of the 2nd Border Regiment, and
subsequently commanded two different Battalions in the Field before
being sent home to Hospital.
* * * * *
The history of this publication is shortly as follows:--
Early in 1915, the Editor, as an Officer who had served in all three
Battalions, was deputed by the three Commanding Officers to keep a
record of Commissions and Honours then being obtained by members of
the Regiment and of casualties suffered, there being in the nature of
things no provision in Official regimental documents or T.F. Records
for following up the career of a man after he had been struck off the
Artists on obtaining a Commission in another unit. Correspondents were
appointed in each Battalion to assist the Editor, and on the first
anniversary of the Declaration of War the first Edition of the present
work, containing 1508 names, was published.
The intention was to re-issue the pamphlet periodically until the end
of the War, and on the second anniversary a second Edition brought up
to date, containing 3434 Commissions, was printed and on the point of
distribution when the Press Bureau Order was issued, which prohibited
any reference to places, numbers of Battalions and other details in
which the book abounded.
These copies were accordingly sealed up, but monthly supplemental lists
were published in the Regimental Journal for a time, the publicity
thus obtained being a valuable check against error. Presently the
Journal itself was also suspended for some months, but eventually it
was allowed to reappear, and the supplemental lists were resumed after
being shorn of all offending details, and were continued until the
Armistice.
It then became necessary to dig out from every available source the
particulars which had not been previously obtainable, such as dates
and places of deeds and deaths, and this research has occupied an
unconscionable time. Still it has been done, and the result is a much
more complete and reliable record than was previously obtainable.
With regard to the plan of the book, the original scheme was to make
it a record only of Commissions and Honours, with a list of casualties
in all ranks, but whilst this final edition was in the press a very
strong desire was expressed for a complete Roll comprising every one
of the 15,000 Artists who at one time or another during the War had
served in the Regiment in any capacity. An additional Section No. IV
has therefore been compiled and added containing the names of all
N.C.O.’s and privates who are not known to have taken Commissions.
Here, however, the Editor came up against an insurmountable difficulty.
It soon became evident that this Section not having been, like the rest
of the book, entered up from day to day, it would now be absolutely
impossible to ascertain what had happened to a very large number of
men who had been discharged or transferred to other Regiments since
August, 1914. In these circumstances it has not been practicable to
make Section IV more than an alphabetical list of some 4,800 “other
ranks” not included in the Roll of Commissions, with the addition of
reference letters and symbols indicating those who are known to have
served overseas with the 1st Battalion or in other units, or to have
been killed, wounded, etc.
It is probable that there may be discovered in this Section the
names of many men who had in fact obtained Commissions, some further
casualties, and possibly a hidden D.S.O. or other Honour.
In these circumstances it will be realised, and the Editor desires to
emphasize the fact, that the absence of any reference letter against
a man’s name in Section IV is no reflection upon him. It simply means
that the news of his promotion, reward or other event has not reached
the Regiment. And the list includes the very large number of cadets who
were under instruction in England on the cessation of hostilities, at
least 2,000; also men discharged during the War as medically unfit.

The Editor much regrets that he is compelled strictly to limit this
Section IV to those who enlisted originally in the Artists, as
recruits. He recognises that this means the exclusion of those members
of other units who were transferred or attached to the 1st Battalion
in France, wore their regimental badge, fought and died with them.
Probably they are included in their own Regimental War Records, but
they were all so thoroughly imbued with the spirit and traditions of
their new unit, that he would willingly have inserted in this book
every one of the hundreds of additional names had the exigencies
of space and expense permitted. He has, however, been sufficiently
inconsistent to include their Officers, together with their Military
Crosses and other Honours if gained whilst serving with the Artists.
In conclusion, the Editor warmly acknowledges his very great
indebtedness to his hosts of correspondents in every theatre of war,
to sympathetic Record Officers at home and abroad, and to the patient
and painstaking members of his constantly changing staff, without whose
meticulous care in the laborious daily task of searching Gazettes and
Casualty Lists against their ever-growing Card Index, the compilation
of this gigantic record would have fallen through. To enumerate all
those who during a period of nearly five years lent a hand in this way,
invalids and light duty men at home, Officers and men on leave, cadets
awaiting Gazette, and other keen helpers would fill pages, and it is
useless to attempt it.
In the mass of detail dealt with in this work and the circumstances
under which it was collected, there are no doubt mistakes and
omissions: possibly a considerable number. To meet such cases the copy
of the book which is to be deposited in the War Memorial recently
erected at Headquarters will be interleaved and if short particulars
of any serious error that may be discovered are forwarded to “The Hon.
Secretary, Roll of Honour,” Artists Rifles, Duke’s Road, Euston Road,
W.C.2, it shall be rectified in such Headquarters copy. Arrangements
may also be made for periodical publication of lists of corrections in
the Regimental Journal.

From July to Sept. 1917, the Division was in the front line (“R3”
and “R4” Sectors, Oppy and Gavrelle) and with the exception of a few
casualties, nothing of special note occurred during this period so
far as the Artists’ were concerned. After a normal tour, the Division
was relieved by the 47th (formerly 2/London) Division, the Artists
themselves being replaced by the 22/London, commanded by Lt. Col. C. F.
H. Greenwood, an Artists’ Officer, and moved to La Comté.
On coming out of the line inexorable Anno Domini deprived us of our
Commanding Officer, Col. Chatfeild-Clarke, while our esprit de corps
was momentarily ruffled by the appearance of a reinforcing draft
composed not of Artists, but of 119 men from another unit.
It was recognised however that pooling, not only of reinforcements but
of C.O’s. was now inevitable: that as no other Battalion overseas was
being exclusively fed from its own Regiment, the Artists could not
expect different treatment.
During the ensuing twelve months they had five new Commanding Officers,
all drawn from other Regiments.
OCTOBER 1917.
In October, the Division was ordered to the Ypres front: we journeyed
to Houtkerque, thence to Reigersburgh and on the 28th left camp for our
first big fight, the C.O. Major Edlmann, bringing news, that owing to
the impossible state of the ground the Divisional front had not been
advanced so far as had been expected, so that what was to have been our
jumping off line would now be our objective. During the next thirty
hours we suffered a good many casualties from long range artillery
fire, D Co. losing their C.S.M., C. W. W. King.
The story of the battle for the Passchendaele Ridge, so far as the
Artists are concerned, is soon told. Other Divisions before us had
been taking their share in the slow process of gaining ground in
this water-logged area, at tremendous cost. The 188th was the first
Brigade of the 63rd Division to attack; and advancing under a terrific
artillery and machine-gun barrage they, too, made some headway, but
suffered severely. Early on the 30th our Brigade attacked, also under a
very heavy barrage: the British artillery averaged one gun to every 9
yards of front. To reach our objective we had to cross the Paddebeeke,
on the map an insignificant streamlet, but in fact by this time a wide
and almost impassable swamp.
{ _B Co. (Capt. Bare)._ _A Co. (Capt. Mieville)._
_ORDER OF BATTLE_{ _C Co. (Capt. Chetwood) Support._
{ _D Co. (Capt. Royds) Reserve._
The instant our attack started, the forward troops came under intense
machine-gun fire from an almost invisible enemy who had taken refuge
in their “pill boxes” during our bombardment, and were now posted in
carefully chosen tactical positions. Simultaneously our supporting
troops suffered heavy casualties from enemy artillery, while the ground
to be traversed was a deep sea of mud, which drowned wounded men and
clogged rifles and Lewis guns in the first few minutes, rendering them
entirely useless. Consequently it was not long before the attack was
brought to a complete standstill, and the very attenuated Battalions
proceeded to consolidate as best they could on our side of the
Paddebeeke.[8] On our right the Canadians continued to advance: being
on higher and drier ground they were able to get on, so that presently
there was a dangerous gap between their left and our right. This was
closed by sending up the Shropshires from our Brigade reserve.
On this day the Artists went into action about 500 strong and suffered
350 casualties, amongst those killed being Captains Bare, Chetwood and
Gordon Williams, Lieuts. Haslam and Howe, and our splendid Padre, Capt.
Harry Dickinson. The toll of deaths would have been still higher but
for the untiring efforts of our M.O., Capt. Matthew, who for 72 hours
hardly rested from the work of collecting and dressing the wounded.[9]
The task set the Division appeared to be an impossible one, and no
doubt would not have been attempted but for the urgent necessity
of those tremendous attacks in this sector, which drew away all
the enemy’s reserves from other points where it was of the utmost
importance to prevent his attacking in force. It was not a case of
lives being fruitlessly thrown away, but of sacrifices which enabled
the whole Allied line to remain intact at a time when the Russian
débacle was straining to the utmost our resources on the Western Front.
The next day the remains of the Battalion moved out of the line to
refit, and while at Eringhem received a special message of sympathy
in respect of their losses, and congratulations on the part they had
played in the battle, brought direct to them from Earl Haig. They
learned also from the Canadians (who were loud in their praises of the
way in which our men had pressed forward) that several Artists had
succeeded in actually crossing the Paddebeeke before being killed.
DECEMBER, 1917.
After a period of rest and reorganisation (during which Lt.-Col. John
Harington, 3/Rifle Brigade, took over the command, Major Edlmann was
appointed O.C. 63rd Divisional Wing, and substantial reinforcements
arrived, including 6 Officers and a draft from 3/28th), the Battalion
was on its way back to the Passchendaele sector, when the successful
British offensive before Cambrai was checked and the Boche began
to press back the wedge that had been driven into his line there.
Thereupon the 63rd Division was sent to the Somme district, and at
the end of December moved into the front line in the Marcoing salient
(Couillet Wood sector).
On the 30th the enemy launched a terrific attack and succeeded in
penetrating the front line to the east of the Welsh Ridge salient.
The Artists who were in support at this point were detailed for a
counter-attack which had to be made without artillery support. It was
pressed for all we were worth but resulted in very heavy casualties
without the achievement of our object. However, we heard subsequently
that our efforts were not in vain as the enemy, deceived as to the
strength of our available reserves by the promptitude and determination
with which the counter-attack was delivered, refrained from exploiting
their initial success. Had they done so, it is conceivable that their
object in driving us from the Welsh Ridge might have been attained.
{ _A Co. (Capt. Pike)_----_B Co. (Lieut. Skinner)._
_ORDER OF BATTLE_{ _D Co. (Capt. Barnett) Support._
{ _C Co. (Capt. Lepingwell) Reserve._
A very gruelling night followed, consolidation work having to be
carried out in ground which was frozen hard. Sufficient praise cannot
be given to the Medical Staff under Capt. Mathew, M.C., who were again
working all day at high pressure and at night did much to assist in the
recovery of the wounded men who were lying out in front of our line.
Excellent work was accomplished by D Co. under Capt. Barnett in forming
a defensive left flank, by Capt. Mieville in reconnaissance, and by
Lt. Holland, these officers gaining on that occasion very hard-earned
M.C’s.[10] Lt. Margetson also earned recognition for good work in the
maintenance of signal communication[11] and R.S.M. Emslie did much
to keep things going by the organisation of carrying parties to get
hot food up during the night. One Corporal did yeoman service to his
Company by going back under heavy fire, crossing a gas-filled valley
and bringing up the Company water supply which had had to be abandoned
in the rush of the morning.
Our casualties were nine Officers and 110 other ranks. Lieuts.
Salisbury, English, Shinner and Lightfoot, with our M.G. Officer
(Groom) and Intelligence Officer (Godfrey) were killed, while Pike,
Lepingwell and Holland were wounded, and from this date the Battalion
ceased to be exclusively officered by Artists. But although Officers
and men came to us from many other Regiments the spirit and traditions
of the Corps were maintained to the end: one of the most striking
features in connection with the arrival of reinforcements from other
units was the rapidity with which our new comrades assimilated Artists’
ideas and methods of getting things done.
JANUARY-MARCH, 1918.
During January and February, 1918, we put in further tours of duty
in the front line (during one of which both the Boche and ourselves
lived on top behind our respective parados, the trenches having become
nothing but ditches of liquid mud several feet deep), while Col.
Harrington left us to command the 2/Rifle Brigade (eventually becoming
a Brigadier-General), and Major Lathom who had been temporarily in
command of the Fusiliers was appointed acting C.O. of the Artists.
The Brigade was then withdrawn to Divisional Reserve at Beaulencourt
where we were joined by Major F. S. B. Johnson, 1/Royal Lancaster, as
our own new C.O. and our strength was brought up to 28 Officers and 766
other ranks by the addition of a complete half Battalion of the 2nd
Bn. London Rifle Brigade which had been broken up on the formation of
3-Battalion Brigades.
* * * * *
In March we returned to the Couillet Wood sector, and on the 21st
had our first experience of the anxious times experienced by the
Allies during the Spring of 1918. Shortly after daybreak, while in
camp in Havrincourt Wood, we were aroused by a violent bombardment.
A dense gas and smoke cloud passed through the Wood as we moved to
our battle positions. On the way up Lt. Lintott, L.R.B. (formerly an
Artist Sergeant), was killed. The next night we were ordered back to
Havrincourt Wood as the enemy had gained a considerable amount of
ground on our right (the Fifth Army Front). During the withdrawal, Lt.
J. I. Royds was killed in Trescault. We started to dig in, but the next
morning were retired to a defence line east of Ytres. There we again
made ready to fight a rearguard action, but we were again disappointed
as we were directed to withdraw on a line Ytres--Bus-le-Transloy. That
night the whole Brigade withdrew into Ytres, and as communication
with both Brigade and Divisional H.Q. was lost, a meeting of all the
C.O.’s in the Brigade was called, and it was arranged that the Brigade
should form a defensive flank extending East-West, to conform with the
withdrawal of the 2nd Division on our left. The Brigade was then taken
over by Lt.-Col. Collings Wells of the 4th Bedfords, who for his good
work during the withdrawal was awarded the V.C.[12]
We moved to our new position about midnight, the route taken leading
us past the vast ammunition and petrol dump which was being destroyed.
Here a shell splinter from the dump wounded Major Lathom, who was
carried back to Beaulencourt. C Co., under Lt. Eric Willis, was also
unfortunate in running into a Boche M.G. post and suffering severe
casualties. Good work was done by Sergt. A. Coviello, who succeeded
in penetrating the enemy lines in rear of us and establishing
communication.[13] Next morning the retirement continued through
Barastre with heavy casualties (amongst whom was Lt. Dow, our
American M.O.) to Beaulencourt, where we found Brigade H.Q. Then back
through Gueudecourt, Flers, Bazentin-le-Grand, Bazentin-le-Petit to
Courcelette, and the next day’s trek took us through Pozieres to
Thiepval. On the slopes in that neighbourhood we had an opportunity
of checking the Boche, great work being done by a Lewis Gun team, for
whom the Brigade Major was spotting. During the night orders came to
cross at Authuille to the west bank of the river before daybreak, when
the R.E.’s were to destroy the bridges. On reaching the other side we
found the 12th Division waiting to take over from us. To celebrate
the conclusion of our long innings, Bn. H.Q. indulged in a game of
stump cricket which was rather spoilt by the arrival of a Hun H.V.
shell. It ruined the pitch and scattered the field, but fortunately no
one retired hurt. We then marched through Martinsart to Englebelmer,
and the same evening moved to Millencourt for an attack on another
Divisional front on the outskirts of Albert. This attempt to dislodge
the Boche proved fruitless and resulted in somewhat serious casualties,
chief among which was the loss of Lt. Eric Willis.
The Battalion was then withdrawn (via Senlis and Mailly Maillet) to
Forceville for a complete rest over Easter. Our total casualties during
the retirement amounted to 17 officers and 300 other ranks.
APRIL-AUGUST, 1918.
During April and May we performed tours of duty in the new line
established after the retreat north of Mesnil and in Aveluy Wood
sector. We lost Capt. Neighbour (who had rejoined us in March) through
sickness and Col. Johnson was wounded in Aveluy Wood. Thereupon Capt.
Wilkinson (L.R.B.) assumed command. In June the Battalion went into
Corps reserve at Toutencourt Wood and was attached to the “flying”
Corps, kept for operations on any front, and throughout July we were
engaged in line holding alternately between Acheux Wood south of
Auchonvillers and the line north of Mesnil.
In August, on the eve of the Australian offensive before Amiens,
we went to Beaucourt-sur-l’Hallue. After their attack had been
successfully launched the Division marched north again via Famechon to
Souastre, whence we moved out via Fonquevillers to take our part in
the commencement of that vast movement which resulted in the eventual
overthrow of the enemy. The Division attacked on the 21st in heavy
mist supported by a very intense artillery barrage and at the end of
the day the Artists found themselves in the front line, having passed
unconsciously through the Battalion we were supporting who had lost
direction to a certain extent and moved too far to the right.
The next morning the C.O. and Adjt. (Capt. Barnett) were wounded and
we sustained our most deeply regretted casualty in the death of R.S.M.
Peter Emslie, who was ever a magnificent stand-by in the line, where
his courageous efficiency rendered him at all times invaluable. The
Battalion was brought out by Lieuts. Bayne and Besch.
On the 24th at Achiet-le-Petit we went over in close support of the
188th Brigade in a heavy ground mist intermingled with gas and smoke.
Objectives were carried and the attack turned south-east towards
Warlencourt and Ligny-Thilloy where stout opposition was encountered
and the attack delivered on the following morning in conjunction with
the Canadians failed. The Division was then withdrawn via Irles,
Miraumont, Achiet-le-Petit, Bucquoy, Ayette to Boiry St. Rictrude.
The next day we moved into trenches at Boiry-Becquerelle, and on the
26th we followed up the attack as Division in reserve, the attacking
waves passing through Fontaine and Hendecourt to Caignicourt, and so on
to the Hindenburg line between Inchy and Moeuvres.
SEPTEMBER, 1918.
Early in September the Division was withdrawn by stages to Bailleulval
on the Arras-Doullens road, where we remained for a period of rest and
“fattening.” On leaving we received an address from the Mayor thanking
us on behalf of the population for our considerate treatment of them
and their belongings.
We then marched back again to the Croisilles area, the Artists finding
a home in tents and shelters on the high ground south-east of St.
Leger near L’Homme Mort Wood. Here we were joined by our new C.O., Lt.
Col. Goldthorp (4/West Riding), who shall now continue the narrative.
* * * * *
I think that my story, such as it is, had better take the form of
a sort of letter. It was late on the night of 18/19th September,
1918, when I reached the 63rd R.N.D. Wing, then at Boisleux-au-Mont,
where I was welcomed by Major Edlmann, the O.C. Wing, and Capt.
Baillie-Hamilton, the Adjutant, who informed me that I was either for
the Artists or the Bedfords, who were both without C.O.’s.
The following morning I was taken forward to Divisional H.Q. in
dug-outs between St. Leger and Ecoust, and I was officially told that
I was to take over the command of the Artists. After reporting to
the Brigadier, General Lesslie, who proceeded to tell me all he knew
about the Artists as a Regiment and about the officers individually, I
set out on my lonely journey across a little valley to their H.Q. to
“take over.” I can imagine their Officers watching me come along, and
wondering what sort of a “blighter” they were getting this time. Well,
my feelings were much the same, but I had learned from the Brigadier
some of their good points, and they did not know even my bad ones then,
so I started “one up” on them anyhow.
I took over from Acting-Captain Hermelin, who was then in command;
Besch was the Intelligence Officer; Morris, Signalling Officer; Nelson,
the “Doc.”; Hewitt, Acting Adjutant; Light, Quarter-Master; Prentice,
Transport Officer; Robinson, Padre; and Wyler our Interpreter.
Very early a batch of officer-reinforcements arrived, and it became
obvious we were in for a show the nature of which we could only guess,
but for my part I should like to say that from the very first I had
every help from Officers, N.C.O.’s and men, and my work was made easy
by the spirit they all showed of welcoming me as one of themselves from
the start. I shall never forget those first few days and the solid
foundation of trust and comradeship they laid for what was before us.
* * * * *
On the 26th September we left our Camp for the old trenches just
outside Queant, where we were to assemble prior to a march on to our
“tape” between Moeuvre and Inchy, and we knew when we left (having
received all the barrage tables, etc.) that we were in for one of
the biggest battles fought by the British Armies during the whole of
the War, as the Division had to cross the Canal du Nord and take the
Hindenburg Line in conjunction with the Canadians on our left, and the
Guards on our right. This was only to be the first phase, and as far
as the Naval Division was concerned, the 190th Brigade was the first
to kick off. Afterwards, the other Brigades were to go through us and
capture Anneux and get on as far as they could.
I was rather pleased to find that it fell to the Artists to do the
lion’s share of the work of our Brigade, i.e., we had to capture the
Hindenburg Line after the Fusiliers and the Bedfords had crossed the
Canal, a very delicate and involved movement which required a great
deal of preparation and explanation.
We arrived at our Assembly Point without trouble and at midnight
started off--a pitch black night, in a deluge of rain. We made very
slow progress; it was a difficult job keeping in touch and following
the line, which was marked out by whitewashed posts, most of which
had either been knocked down by the Artillery, or obliterated by
the rain. Without Hewitt and Goacher we should have found it very
difficult indeed, and might easily have had the same misfortune as was
experienced by another Battalion who missed the track somewhere outside
Pronville and got too much to the left. But these two officers did
splendidly and we eventually arrived at a trench which marked our then
front line. I halted the Battalion and they laid down and soon went to
sleep. We waited about, hoping against hope that the other troops would
arrive, but finally gave up all expectation of seeing them and got the
Battalion out into shell holes slightly in advance of our previous
position.
Seeing that the situation was exceedingly vague, I decided to put every
available man on the line, and issued orders to the Company Commanders
telling them that unless the missing Battalion turned up, we should
have to tackle their job as well as our own on our immediate front, and
that in the advance up the Hindenburg Line we would take half their
objective, and the Canadians would look after the other half.
About 4.30 a.m. everything was ready as far as we could foresee, and
there was nothing further to be done then but wait, and what a long
time the last half hour before zero seems! However the time arrived at
last and so did the Boche attempt at retaliation. It seemed to come
down on our trench for some reason or other, and soon the doctors were
very busy, and after what seemed an age Morris arrived back to say that
all was going well, that the Battalion was in the Canal taking a lot of
prisoners, that our barrage was as near perfection as anything he had
ever dreamed of, and that the Boche barrage was falling well behind our
men--all of which was good news. With my H.Q. and runners I started off
at once.
What a change from the night before! It was a lovely morning, and once
out in the open, going towards the Canal, it was a wonderful sight to
see our barrage and the men following it up. I cannot describe the
feeling I had watching the Artists in action--to me the first time.
From behind it looked as near drill-perfect as you could wish for. We
were not long in getting across the Canal, where we saw one of our
tanks stuck, and met many wounded coming back, amongst them being
Fergus Young, who was supported by a Boche prisoner about twice his
size. He was very worried about his Company, though as it turned out he
had no need to be--they were carrying on all right, away on in front.
As we got nearer the front line things seemed to get very busy. There
were crowds of prisoners coming down--batches of 200 at a time in
charge of one or two men--all their officers wanting to go down into
dug-outs to collect their belongings, but I do not suppose they found
many, because the ground was literally on fire, and after walking a
short distance between the Hindenburg Line one’s feet were quite hot
from the heat of the earth. Soon messages began to come back--that the
first objective had been taken--then the barrage moved on again, so
did our men, and our messages came fast--“Cannot get on for machine
gun fire;” “No sign of the Bedfords on the right flank,” and with like
messages from the left.
It then appeared that things were sticking a bit, so we pushed on
up to see what really was happening, and found things pretty well
mixed up--our men short of bombs, having used everything they had and
everyone doing his level best. We discovered that both our flanks were
well in the air, and getting forward was out of the question until
matters righted themselves on the flanks. By this time we had lost
the barrage for our second objective, and it had become a question of
holding on to what we had until the position cleared up. Being shot at
from three sides is never a very pleasant experience but the men stuck
it out wonderfully. I saw that we should need every single available
man to hold on, so I went down the line a bit to collect any oddments I
could find. It is surprising the number one comes across in a big show
like this. There were Bedfords and Fusiliers who were beginning to come
along in large batches. They were all gathered into parties and sent
up straight away. The Fusiliers had had a pretty rough time trekking
about all night, and had just arrived in time to go over with the
Canadians, where they were soon doing their share “good and hard” as
the Brigadier, who had spent his time cheering up the men, would say. I
found the Signallers fixing up communications to the Companies and we
got news of the poor Bedfords too who had had a very rough crossing,
but had come through all right. We knew then that our right flank was
in touch though it was thrown back very considerably, and we seemed to
catch the whole attention of the Boche.
Presently orders came through that the attack preceded by heavy barrage
on one or two selected places--a sugar factory on the Bapaume-Cambrai
Road being one--would be resumed at 2.15.
Everything up the line was as good as we could hope for, and the 188th
Brigade was getting ready to carry on. They were to go through us, and
on to Anneux and as much further as they could get. We then returned to
Brigade H.Q. where we found Prentice and his transport--all safe and
sound, and rather surprised to be so near the battle. Thoughts of hot
food for the men seemed to be within the range of possibility provided
the resumed attack went off all right. I saw the Brigadier again, told
him that we were all ready for our original third objective, but he
said we need not move at all, as the 188th were going through us, where
we were, to their objective. The rest had been cut out and was being
dealt with by the Artillery alone, so I went back post-haste, but was
not in time to stop many men getting on, especially those at the front,
who had numerous scores to pay off by this time.
The 2.15 show was a complete success, so much so, that the 188th were
able to move right up to Anneux without any trouble: then they bumped
into plenty, I believe, but that is outside the story of the Artists.
Shortly afterwards the Divisional General came round our line, thanking
the men for the splendid victory, and still more for the magnificent
resistance they had made when checked. I had been told beforehand that
if we got the crest of the hill--which was our first objective--and
stuck to it, we should have won the day whatever happened. As it was
we got beyond and held on, against Machine-Gun fire, Trench Mortars,
and Bombing, for hours, until the whole situation cleared all along the
line; a hard enough test for any troops and an achievement in itself
that would have made any Battalion’s reputation.
Late in the evening we got orders to spend the night on our battle
positions. Besch and I took a look round the places where we had been
held up earlier in the day and in every case there was no lack of
evidence of the supreme courage of our men. Before settling down we
buried all our dead: there seemed to us to be a lot, but in comparison
to the total casualties of the day, and in relation to the value of the
work accomplished, there were really few. So ended one of the greatest
days in this War and my first experience of the Artists in action. I,
for one, shall never forget the 27th September, 1918, and I can only
pray to be forgiven if I in any way failed them during that day, or
subsequently: they never failed me once.[14]
There were one or two incidents in the battle which are, perhaps,
worth noting. One was the wonderful view we got from our first
objective--how we could see right across the Bapaume-Cambrai Road
the Germans directing their fire, both field and machine-guns, and
watching the battle. From one of the forward posts we actually saw the
officer-in-charge and one of the guns knocked out, and we could see the
Guards trying to get forward and being held up, as we were.
As a matter of interest in training, I found in a large square hole
(which had probably been intended for a concrete shelter) Capt. Hall
with several men, including a Lewis Gun team. It was a very warm
corner, and there he was directing the fire of his men and the Lewis
Gun team as if he was carrying out a Range Practice in the most
approved Hythe manner. It is a point which is so apt to be forgotten
in training, that if your instruction has been good, you will
unconsciously do the right thing in a tight corner. The mere fact of
real good fire-orders at such a time had a most wonderfully steadying
effect.
What struck me largely about the Boche prisoners was that they did
not seem to be a bit sorry to be captured, that they worked well and
hard in helping the wounded, and that a large number of them spoke
English very well. Our attack along the Hindenburg Line in a southerly
direction must have been an entire surprise to the enemy, as we found
their machine-guns were mounted facing west, and that when our attack
down the line developed from the north they had had to dismantle all
their guns.
I think that a large portion of our success should be attributed to
the Artillery; the barrage was marvellous, especially the swing to
enable us to change our direction. This took 79 minutes, and it was not
particularly pleasant for us to wait the time, but it obviously fooled
the Boche.
Another thing which came to our help that day (which has rarely
happened in connection with the English) was that the wind and the
weather were perfect for us, and as for our smoke barrages, the smoke
went just where it should have gone. But by far and away the greatest
satisfaction to me was to know that whatever happened afterwards,
I could depend absolutely upon the Battalion in every conceivable
circumstance. To take a new Battalion into an action of that size,
without ever having been in the line at all with them before, is a very
anxious job.

_The Artists were detailed to follow the front-line troops and
then swing with the Artillery on to the Hindenburg Line._
Next morning (28th) we were on the move again and reached the sugar
factory on the Bapaume-Cambrai Road. There we waited until the
afternoon--had a sleep and were off again via Graincourt to Cantaing.
This was well behind the Boche lines, and we were going towards the
Canal de l’Escaut, which was obviously the next obstacle that was
before us. We halted rather to the north-west of the village and dug
in. We were not troubled very much during the night. We could quite
easily see the towers of the town of Cambrai, and watched some large
fires which the Germans had started there.
Early in the morning (29th) I went round the lines--if you could call
them such. It was most encouraging to find the men so cheerful after
what they had been through, a testament of their excellent training,
and of the wonderful esprit de corps which I always found with the
Artists, and it was no joke camping out in a beastly little hole
all night long. It was very cold indeed and there were no nice Army
blankets to help matters. Still, they were Artists--and they were
winning--so what did it matter?
We were not wanted that morning and made the most of it, whilst the
other Brigades had the pleasure of forcing a crossing over the Canal.
It was Naval Division against Naval Division that day, so our fellows
were all out for it, somewhat enlivened by the success on the 27th.
From where we were it did not sound a big show when it started, but one
could see we were not getting things without paying the price. Many
good fellows were coming back, some badly wounded to a Dressing Station
near our Headquarters and lots of prisoners.
Later in the day we moved up to the east of Cantaing and had just got
nicely settled down hoping to get a decent night’s rest when we got
orders to cross the Canal de l’Escaut and form up on a road running
south from Cambrai near a farm called La Marliere. So off we went
cursing the old Boche and the War in general through some gun positions
round to a place where a pontoon bridge had been thrown across the
Canal. It was a very noisy journey as far as the Canal, and then the
fun began. As usual it started to rain--real rain--and it was as black
as ink as we plodded along. After a good deal of trekking about we
found our road well to the right of the place where we should have hit
it--so far so good. We had to put up with a ditch where there were far
more machine-gun bullets flying about than was exactly pleasant and had
just settled down to sleep when I was sent for by Brigade, and learned
there was a ‘show’ hatching. We were to attack at 5.30 in the morning,
and were given three objectives. Our attack was roughly due east, and
the final objective was a place called Niergnies. The difficulty in the
show was the barrage arrangements. No guns up to then had been brought
across the Canal, and Niergnies was 5,000 yards away from the nearest
gun, also they were in low country, and angles for shooting all wrong.
Anyway we were to go on and push the Boche back, and the second Corps
on our right was to co-operate with us.
About 1.30 a.m. (Sept. 30th) all was settled so far as we could arrange
it, and the horrible time of waiting started, we trying to sleep. Zero
arrived, our men started off and I sent Hewitt and a few runners on to
select a new H.Q. just to the rear of our first objective. Presently
one of them came back with the information that the party had arrived
all right, having gone through very heavy machine gun fire. He also
stated that there was no sign of the Battalion, that it was a very bad
place and that one of Hewitt’s men had been hit. We did not like this
news, so we went to find out what had happened. It soon became only too
evident that the attack was held up, and we had not even been able to
reach our first objective. I made my way up to the Battalion who were
digging-in under very heavy machine gun fire, about 300 yards east of
the road and found they could not get any further forward; they were in
some sort of line in the open and in a trench, but in a poor position,
under machine-gun fire all the time and it was a case of sitting tight
again. Meanwhile, our right flank was thrown back a bit, and the Second
Corps Troops who ought to have gone over with us came up but were quite
unable to push forward.
An anxious morning passed somehow, and then we got orders to resume
the attack--in other words, to try again. We tried but only to fail.
This meant a lot of reorganising for the Company Commanders, and a
tremendous extra strain on the men, but they stuck it and we had to
stay where we were.
A long night came to an end and presently to my relief Hewitt turned
up. Afterwards we got his story out of him. The poor fellow who had
been hit had died, and they had to bury him as best they could. If they
showed their heads above the top they were at once shot at. Hewitt had
sent no further messages back as it was too risky, and he decided to
wait until dark and then get back as best he could. He did so, and luck
was with him--they found their way eventually to our present place.
They had had a dreadful time, and a really terrible experience, but
like all good soldiers, they hated to talk about it, so we left it at
that.
OCTOBER, 1918.
In the evening (Oct. 1st) the Division was relieved and we went back
again to the west of Cantaing into trenches with improvised shelters.
The next day or two we spent in reorganising, quite a difficult job as
we were very weak, and cleaning up.
We now felt fairly certain that we were going out for a rest, as we
had had a pretty stiff time since the 26th and had lost a lot of very
fine fellows, mostly wounded, thank goodness. We needed a rest, and
felt somehow that we had earned it, but on October 6th a message came
before breakfast that we were to have another go for Niergnies, this
time jumping off from Rumilly. It was to be an “in-and-out show,” just
a day’s hard fighting and then out again, and if we were successful it
would ensure the fall of Cambrai.
Our reconnaissances and plans having been made we moved (7th) to
Noyelles, and so to a field where we tried to sleep a bit, to the
accompaniment of a neighbouring 6-inch naval gun, and crossed the canal
after dark and slowly made our way to our assembling place.
Soon the show started and we found that a sunken road, where our H.Q.
dug-out was, came in for considerable attention from the Boche. Quite a
lot of people were wounded just outside, my signalling officer (Bayne)
amongst them.[15] Then the two Intelligence Officers--my own (Besch)
and the Bedfords--went to find us a new H.Q. The latter was hit before
he got across the road, Besch escaped and got on all right. Soon all
the rest of us followed. The shelling did not seem to be so bad when
we got out--it never does--dug-outs are beastly, and things sound much
worse in them than they are. It was nice to be out and following up
the Battalion, of which we could see nothing at first, but we soon got
up to them, found they had managed to keep together, and were in good
order and busy digging in. Things seemed to be going very well. “A”
Co. were very pleased with themselves, as they got 105 prisoners and 12
machine guns in one trench on the way. Soon there was unusual activity
up at the front, and one of our tanks came back chased by a 5.9 all the
way. It was a wonderful sight, and rather funny, but poor sport for the
men in the tank. It was extraordinary how near the shells fell round it
and yet never once hit it, and I heard afterwards that it got home.
We were conscious of a lot of extra firing, and a number of little
shells which seemed to come very low. All at once I saw the line to
our south begin to move back--this gave one a very uncomfortable
feeling, to say the least of it. We heard that the Germans were
counter-attacking with tanks--so I went forward, and found that the
Commanding Officer of the Battalion in front of us had gone to retrieve
the position, and could quite easily see the German Tanks--which really
were our own captured in November, 1917 (or even later during the
retreat in 1918) and were equipped with German and Belgian Guns. The
nearest one to us was burning away, as it had been hit and set on fire.
Another one we were firing at from a Boche anti-tank gun. In passing,
it is interesting to note that out of five (possibly seven) tanks
that attacked us, two were knocked out by German weapons we captured
that day: one by a Boche anti-tank gun and the other by one of their
anti-tank rifles. The other tanks, seeing the fate of two of their
companions and that the Boche infantry did not support them, decided
it was wiser to go back where they came from. It was really quite an
exciting hour until the situation became normal again.
Nothing more happened for a bit. The situation seemed vague on the
left flank and in the village of Niergnies, so I sent up an officer
(McKinley) to make a reconnaissance for the Brigade, which he did,
and telephoned the result back, and later went up again just to make
certain that everything was still. The information he got was of the
greatest assistance to the Brigade, and the reconnaissance was very
well done indeed.[16]
Shortly before dusk we were warned that a counter-attack was
expected on our left flank, and I was told that should it assume
a serious nature, the Artists would be required to carry out the
counter-counter-attack and restore the position. However, it was no
good looking for trouble before it came, so we just kept a special
look-out on this flank, and moved a few more Lewis Guns there in case
anything occurred. Nothing happened, and later in the evening I heard
we were to be relieved by a Battalion who we could see coming up. It
seemed an interminable time before we got the word to go home. We were
all ready for it, watching the valley behind us, which was receiving
continuous attention from the Boche who was using gas and H.E., mixed
with instantaneous fuses, very freely, and when we finally got the
order to go the gassing was really quite bad. Between where we were
and Rumilly, it was a sort of nightmare going back. We had to use our
gas-masks and fortunately all got through safely to our billets outside
Cantaing. The attack had been a great success and a surprise for the
Boche--Cambrai fell the next day, as a direct result of our work. To
show how we had suffered, and to what small units we had descended, it
is interesting to note that the Battalion which relieved us, relieved
the whole of the Division. It was a strong Battalion of over 800, but
all the same it is not often that a Battalion can relieve a Division.
This time we were fairly certain to be taken out of the line, for the
obvious reason that we were no longer a real fighting force. We had
been at it since the 26th September, and had suffered very heavily. The
Division soon got orders to go North out of the 3rd Army into the 1st,
in places round St. Pol where we were to refit, get our drafts, train
hard, and get back as soon as possible, as it was now Division against
Division, and no one could be spared out of the line for long.
We were soon on our way by stages via Vaulx-Vraucourt to Brias where
we settled down to the work of reorganising. We were a small Battalion
now, but a very cheerful one. We started giving each other dinners,
and on the night the Brigadier dined with us Croft reported to the
Battalion.
One dinner which I shall not forget was the fourth anniversary
(Oct. 28th) of the Artists coming out to France, when all those who
were left, amounting I think to 26, met at a little estaminet in
Avesnes-le-Comte. I took it as a great compliment to be the only guest
asked.
These good times soon come to an end. After various alarms and
excursions, we finally marched off and embussed, our destination being
a place called Le Forest, just outside Douai. It was rather a wonderful
ride, and a lovely day. We went via Lens, which was a pitiable sight.
I do not think I have ever seen any place of its size so completely
and deliberately destroyed. There were a lot of refugees coming back,
both east and west, carrying their worldly belongings with them. There
was no possibility of anyone finding anything habitable when they got
to Lens. One family struck me as a particularly bad case, even amongst
so many. They had come goodness knows how far, and consisted of an old
man, his wife, their daughter, and son-in-law, and their child in a
tumbled down old perambulator, piled up with all kinds of other things.
They had just arrived, and were standing on a heap of bricks, which
they realized was the site of their old home. I shall never forget the
look of utter desolation on their faces--they were beyond crying. There
must have been many, many cases like this, and they would all either
have to settle there, or face the journey back from where they had
come, a case of 7 or 8 miles at the least, on roads that only bore the
name out of courtesy. I saw some of our men crying when they saw these
people. There is something about a Frenchman’s love of his home that
appeals to us. With dog-like faith they tramp for miles to start all
over again in a place rendered more than desolate, which seems to me
the highest form of patriotism imaginable.
At Henin-Lietard we had to get out, as the bridges across the Canal
were blown up, and trekked to Le Forest. The Artists got an old Boche
hospital and after the usual spring clean was not too bad a home.
Headquarter Mess was in a nice little house in the main Street--at
least the bottom part of it was nice, the staircase having been burnt
out, and the upstairs rooms were rather a muddle. Here we gave a
concert and some conjuring exhibitions to the inhabitants, who hardly
seemed to realise that they were actually free and allowed to do more
or less as they liked. Some rumours of moves began to come along,
and we realised that it would not be very long before we were off
again--this time to some purpose.
NOVEMBER, 1918: THE LAST PHASE OF THE WAR.
On November 5th our rest at Le Forest came to an end and we journeyed
back via Auby and Douai to Thiant. The next morning we marched on to
Saultain, movement being slow owing to the congestion on the roads and
their state, and we got completely blocked up in a village (Aulnoy)
which showed signs of recent fighting, a good many dead lying about
outside.
On the 7th we were off again to Sebourquiaux. By this time the Brigade
that we were following were in action, and we were moving up in
readiness to go through it when ordered, and that evening reached Angré.
Early the next day (8th) we reached Audregnies, where we went through
the other Brigade, and had three objectives assigned, but it was
obviously impossible that we should accomplish them in the time that
was left to us in the day. Near Wiheries there was a fair amount
of indiscriminate shelling on forward slopes and we lost some men.
However, we moved on in artillery formation, keeping pretty well closed
up and halted in the outskirts of Blaugies where we managed to get on
the line of our first objective without further trouble and had to pass
the night there as we could not overcome the Boche machine-gun fire.
November 9th was a day which I do not think any Artists who were then
with us are ever likely to forget. We advanced in all 15,000 yards, as
the crow flies, which of course meant considerably more trekking, and
a good bit had to be done through woods and across country. We started
off something like a triumphal procession, as we were the first English
troops to enter Blaugies, and we were met by the inhabitants, who
rushed out and kissed us, old and young alike, and offered us coffee,
liqueurs, and anything they could lay their hands on. It was really
pathetically sad, and yet very funny, and it was with difficulty one
refrained from crying, by the necessity of laughing.
Passing through Blaugies, we ran into our own barrage, which eventually
I got stopped, as it was falling amongst the cavalry and was holding
up our advance. From that moment we were not bothered with any more
barrages, the artillery being attached to us, which is really far
the most sensible way in going through open country, as we were. It
gives one the means of visible retaliation, which is always lacking
when dependent entirely on artillery behind you, whose doings, except
barrage work you know nothing about. We next had to go through the Wood
of Sars-la-Bruyere and on to the village of the same name, where again
we were welcomed by the inhabitants in like manner. I was presented
with a large bouquet of flowers, tied up with Belgian ribbon and had
to walk through the village carrying the beastly thing. The centre of
this village had been our last objective, and we had no sooner got
through than we had orders to move on again to a railway embankment
on the other side of the wood to the east of Sars-la-Bruyere. Further
orders came extending this objective right up to the Mons-Maubeuge
Road in front of Quevy-le-Petit, so we packed up once more and started
off. Then taking two runners with me, I started off straight through
the wood, arrived in the village before the Battalion and took up my
H.Q. in the Burgomaster’s house, which had only been left a few hours
earlier by a General of the German Army, who had stopped to watch our
advance and then gone off in a motor car. At last the Battalion was in
possession of their objective and settled down for a few hours rest.
The next morning (10th) I got orders to ‘side-slip’ to the north,
take up a position on the Mons-Maubeuge Road to the west of the
village of Harvengt and support the Fusiliers and Bedfords. This was
the first time that the Artists had been in support to either of the
other Battalions since coming north from the Cambrai Sector, but it
only lasted half a day. I met my Company Commanders at a Chateau on
the Mons-Maubeuge Road, just below a bridge, which the Germans had
blown up. We had a short conference in a delightful room placed at our
disposal by the owner of the Chateau, then marched on up the road and
we were in our place almost as soon as the cavalry had gone out.
I noticed going up the road that there was a Boche Observation Balloon
up--the last one we saw during the War--and the only one which had
been visible since our start on the 5th. Unfortunately, it saw the
other Brigade, which was coming up to go through us, and this drew a
considerable amount of fire round our H.Q. in the village of Asquillies.
Just after they had gone, I got the news by runner, that poor old Croft
had been killed. It is no use trying to tell you what that meant to the
Battalion, or to me personally. He had not been back with us very long
after a prolonged absence, and I know he felt like coming home when he
rejoined us at Brias. He was always like a ray of sunshine if there was
anything doing. With him were two other good fellows, 2/Lt. King and
Sergt. Garbutt; also a Lancer with whom they were talking at the time;
a stray shell fell in the sunken road and killed all four of them.
We were anxiously expecting rations and orders to return to Asquillies
for the rest we were all wanting, but were sent forward to Harvengt
where there seemed to be a good deal of confusion, so I halted the
Battalion and had a look round. I found from the 56th Division who were
there that they had been held up just outside the village by heavy
machine gun fire and that it would be quite impossible to go forward
that night. Eventually it was arranged that the Artists should relieve
the 1st London and we moved forward again as far as we could get.
November 11th. At daybreak I started off up the line, having received
information that the Battalion had commenced to move and that the Boche
had ‘hooked it.’ Reaching Harmignies, I found that our men had been in
within less than half an hour after the departure of the Germans, and
our patrols reported that at two of the villages in front there were no
signs of the enemy. We had orders to take up our position and remain at
Harmignies, and that the 188th Brigade would go through us early in the
morning. I went round, saw everybody and waited until the other Brigade
had started to move forward and then set off to return. On my way back
I met a whole lot of the Lancers, all formed up ready to go through. It
was a fine sight seeing them all on their horses anxious to be off. On
getting back I was met by a Doctor who said that he owed me some money
(he had made a bet with me; that there would be no armistice or peace
this year). For a moment I could not quite make out what he meant,
until I noticed that everybody seemed pleased and then I learned the
news of the Armistice which had come through a few minutes previously.
I saw the Brigadier, got confirmation of the Armistice news, sent it up
to the Companies, scrounged round making arrangements for baths for the
men, got them all back again, and they had their baths and went to bed.
In the afternoon the Band arrived, after a somewhat chequered journey
from England, very sorry for themselves. Also British prisoners, who
had been left behind by the enemy, began to trickle through; they were
in a most pitiable state. And so came the Armistice to the Artists--in
the line to the very last. It will always be a satisfaction to us when
we come to look back upon things that we were there when the end came
and that the efforts of our Division contributed in no small degree to
the final collapse of the Boche.
AFTER THE ARMISTICE.
Of course we could hardly realise things at first and there was still
an awful lot to do. The silence seemed almost uncanny at times.
I do not know if I can describe the funeral of Ben Croft, King and
Garbutt, but of course it was the first thing we did. As they were
killed just outside the village, we decided to bury them at the side of
the road where they fell, with such Military Honours as we could, their
own Company finding the firing party, and the buglers sounded the Last
Post. It was a sad little party that gathered round the graves of the
last Artists to fall in action. A large number of Officers and men came
and the Brigadier found time to be present. I think these three were
the last casualties of the War in our Brigade. It seemed so very hard,
that it was only a matter of 24 hours, and all would have been well.
The inhabitants of the village had given us some oak to make a cross
from and someone else thought of flowers-and after doing all we could
we returned to our billets.
We soon heard stories of going on to the Rhine and were selected for
this, but owing to the heavy fighting, and our additional wastage
through sickness, our strength was so far short that finally it was
decided we should not go. So we had to accept the hard fact and see
another Division put in our place. At the time we were generally
disappointed, but on looking back now I think it was just as well, and
possibly most Artists will agree.
On the 15th, a cold, clear November day, we took part in the official
entry of the First Army into Mons, lined the street, and after hours
of waiting marched past the Army Commander in the square. We did not
exactly enjoy it, but now that distance is lending its enchantment we
can regard it as a thing to have done.
Soon we got permission to move back to Harmignies to better billets,
thence to Athis, where we started Education Classes and a Debating
Society. We also had to practice for a Review by the First Army
Commander, had two full-dress rehearsals, and then the show was put
off, but I suppose a little ceremonial drill did not do any of us much
harm; anyway it provided a certain amount of amusement. Next we were
moved back to Blaugies where we were not long in getting ready for our
Christmas plans. We decided to have Company dinners, three in one day
was the maximum reached, and we came safely through the lot. It was
really a great Christmas taking it all round. There was not one of us
who did not want to be home for it, but as we could not, we put our
backs into it, and made the most of it under the circumstances, and
now it is all over I do not think one of us regrets having spent it in
Blaugies.
All this time we were slowly getting smaller, and one day were sent to
our final destination, St. Ghislain. It was an eye-opener for the men
when they arrived there--almost like going home, without the home--real
beds and sheets for every man, it must have been the first bed that
most of them had seen for many, many months.
I soon found that the men preferred their own time to organised
amusements, which so long as all went well was really much better for
them, and I am more than glad to know that it did go well. It was a
very good change for them to get into some sort of civilisation, and
demobilisation started quicker when we got to St. Ghislain.
One day I got special leave, as I had been applied for at this end.
I do not know exactly how to describe what I felt: I knew that this
special leave was tantamount to saying “Farewell” to the Artists.
However, it was unavoidable and would have had to come sooner or later,
and perhaps it was as well that it was hurried a bit at the end. I got
all packed up, and then went on to the Mess, where I found some villain
had collected most of the Battalion to see me off. I think it takes
nearly as much courage to go round and say “Good-bye” to people as it
does to go over the top.
Soon after this I went down for the first time to the Artists
Headquarters in Duke’s Road, where I met a lot of people whom I had
often heard of, but never before seen. They one and all made me so
welcome, that I almost felt I was going to my own home. I shall never
forget Colonel May coming up to me, and saying that he would like to
thank me for all I had done for the Artists, but that he did not quite
know how to do so, so he thought perhaps he had better repeat to me
what one of the men had said to him. When asked something about their
new Commanding Officer, this man had replied, “Well, Sir, he might have
been an Artist himself.”
I think that if I have earned those words, honestly spoken, it is as
much as anyone could have wished.
R. H. G.
P.S.--I have said very little about the organisation and
interior working of the Battalion because I do not consider
it would be a compliment to go into such details. I think the
secret of the Artists’ success was very largely the wonderful
amount of material always at hand. When Adjutants, Scouts,
Signallers, Runners, Pioneers, and all these people were ever
ready, and there was always somebody fit to step into someone
else’s shoes if anything happened, it really was very easy work
for a stranger, once he realised this. Then there was old Freddy
Light, with his 40 years service in the Corps, and R.Q.M.S.
Hack, a veteran of the Boer War times. They always worked
quietly without any fuss or bother, always had what was wanted,
and would have done anything in the world which was humanly
possible, that the men should be comfortable, and that the
Battalion should always have the best of everything. There were
few Territorial Regiments who had the services of one of their
own Quarter-Masters, and the Artists have been extremely lucky
in theirs.
Then you will find in my notes that the names of the Officers
are nearly always the same. I have avoided using names at
all except where I thought it would simplify matters, but I
do not wish to convey the impression that these are the only
names worthy of note, as it is not so. I should not know where
to begin, or end, if I had to tell you what I thought about
individuals. I see that R.S.M. Fox is not mentioned--there
again we were singularly fortunate, and had to do a great deal
of “wangling” to keep him. As you know, any man who occupied
that position after Peter Emslie had gone, had a very tough
proposition before him.

_Add to_ DISTINGUISHED SERVICE ORDER (pp. 46 & 47).
CLARK, Capt. Philip Lindsay 11/Royal Sussex
E. of YPRES, 25th to 27th October, 1917. For conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of the left flank
company of the battalion. When the enemy broke through on his
left he organised a defensive flank. Finding a gap on his left
he filled and held it with some of his own men and of the unit
on his left. He personally led a charge against the advancing
enemy and dispersed them, and later repelled another attack.
He was wounded by a piece of shrapnel in the head, but though
dazed, continued in command of his company for two days until
relieved.
[3712
FAGAN, Capt. Herbert Archer, _M.C. (bar)_ 9/Gurkha Rifles
(late 5/Yorkshire)
In SOUTH RUSSIA. For conspicuous gallantry and determination
on several occasions, particularly at Sorarogha, on the 18th
January, and at Makin, on the 19th February, 1920. In the first
instance he was in charge of a company ordered to establish
a piquet in a position which was much exposed and commanded
by fire. He set a fine example in beating off attacks and in
attempting to establish the piquet. Subsequently he withdrew his
company with great skill. In the second instance he again showed
gallantry and leadership when troops on the left were ordered to
withdraw.
[3635
FIELD, 2/Lt. Edward Machine Gun Corps
ROUPY, near ST. QUENTIN, 21st March, 1918. For conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of a section of
guns during repeated enemy attacks. For eight hours he fired his
guns with great judgment under heavy machine-gun and artillery
fire. The enemy poured out of a valley in large numbers, and
the guns fired with terrific effect. The enemy was held for
seven hours. Then, reinforced, they advanced to within 100 yards
of the guns and bombed the positions from the right rear. He
ordered his guns to cut their way to new positions while he
helped their retirement by throwing the remainder of the bombs.
In getting back he was shot through the body. His determination
and fearlessness were magnetic. Throughout the day he fought
magnificently.
[763848
JOHNSON, Lt.-Col. Francis Shand Byam R. of O., Royal Lancaster
(1/Artists)
POZIERES RIDGE, 24th March, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry and
devotion to duty. When his battalion became isolated during an
enemy attack and both flanks were exposed, by his courage and
skill he succeeded in withdrawing his battalion without serious
loss. The successful withdrawal was entirely due to his splendid
leadership and determination.
_Add_ to MILITARY CROSSES (pp. 55, 89 & 117).
ASTBURY, 2/Lt. Alec R.F.A. (D/286 Brigade, R.F.A. (T.F.)
Near BOYELLES, 22nd August, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry
and devotion to duty. He brought his battery into action under
very heavy fire, and got his ammunition wagons up to the
battery position in spite of congested traffic. Later, he was
instrumental in laying telephone wires from a very advanced
post to the battery over open country under heavy machine-gun
fire. The information which he sent back was of great value in
enabling the enemy line to be driven back.
[765207
HEY, 2/Lt. Percy R.G.A.
Near VILLERS BRETONNEUX, 7th August, 1918. For conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty. When a number of tanks filled
with bombs and explosives close to his battery position had
been set alight by enemy shell fire, he led a small party and
successfully extinguished the burning camouflage covering his
own and neighbouring guns, and dragged into safety all exposed
cartridges. His determined courage saved the loss of ammunition
and stores.
[765448
RICHARD, 2/Lt. Stanley Machine Gun Corps
Near LES RUES VERTES, 3rd December, 1917. For conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty. During an enemy attack, and
whilst under intense artillery fire, he performed magnificent
work, keeping his guns in action, being with one gun himself in
an exposed position until gun and team were blown up. Being the
only one remaining unwounded, on his own initiative he moved up
to his other three guns, which he continued to keep in action
and supplied with ammunition, until these also were put out of
action and he was wounded. Throughout he set a fine example of
courage, and was of great assistance in checking the hostile
attack.

At the call of King and Country, those of our comrades whom this Roll
commemorates left all that was dear to them, endured hardships, faced
danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty
and self-sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in
freedom.
Let those that come after see to it that their names are not forgotten.
