History for AP Students. Main Page @ Bridge Village. D. K. Corps. There is immediate confusion with this man in the military sources. They all agree on his. Donald Knox Anderson and on his award of the MC . RH agrees with the inscription on the Memorial that he was Lieutenant Colonel of the Machine- Gun Corps and formerly Captain in The Buffs, whilst SD has two entries for this name, obviously not realising they are the same man. One says he was Temporary Lieutenant Colonel of The Buffs and served in the Divisional Machine- Gun Office, and the other says he was a Temporary Lieutenant in the Machine- Gun Corps. Perhaps the evidence of another source, relevant in this case, a publication called Officers Died in the Great War will settle the matter. Here he is recorded as Temporary Lieutenant Colonel of The Buffs and also a Divisional Machine- Gun officer. Something else all the sources do agree on is the date of his death, 3rd December 1. CWGC adds that he is named on the Cambrai Memorial at Louverval which means he has no known grave. This date and place put his death firmly in the British offensive known as the Battle of Cambrai from 2. November to 7th December 1. It was a combined artillery, infantry and tank offensive on part of the formidable German Hindenberg Line, but the early success and territorial gains were cancelled out by German counter- attacks.

On 2. 8th November 1. Donald Knox Anderson, giving his age as 2. Mary Annabella Sandilands at St. Jude Church in South Kensington. Donald would, presumably, also be commemorated wherever his wife Mary was living at the time of his death, which is not known. Since he was 2. 4 in the 1. C. K. R. W. Kent Regt. CWGC names him as Colin Knox Anderson, Lieutenant in the Queen's Own . He died on 2. 3rd. August 1. 91. 4, aged 2. Hautrage Military Cemetery very near Mons in Belgium. Anderson of Bridge Hill House, Bridge, and was educated at Malvern College. SD only adds that he was Killed in Action, and RH, for some reason, gives the date of his death as the 2. August. I have written to the archivist at Malvern College who informs me that Colin was a pupil at that school from 1. Lieutenant in the 3rd. Battalion of the Royal West Kent Regiment. He was killed in action at Mons in August 1. Roll of Honour in Malvern College Chapel. The archivist assures me that his brother Donald did not attend Malvern College. We have already named Colin in the census of 1. Lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion Royal West Kent Regiment a Visitor at his old school, Malvern College. As we have seen with Donald, there was no apparent reason why either brother should be commemorated in Bridge until the vital piece of information given by CWGC. In 1. 91. 1 their parents were still living in Hollywood House, Frindsbury, Rochester, but by 1. Colin's next- of- kin and had moved to Bridge Hill House. They had been married 2. The parents would naturally want to have their two sons commemorated in the place where they lived themselves. 71632 results found: INCREDIBLE HULK #1 CGC 6.0 MARVEL COMICS OFF WHITE PAGE.

CWGC names him as Frank Butler No. Corporal 1. 8th Battalion Machine- Gun Corps. Son of John and Annie Butler. Emily S. Butler of Nursery Cottage, Brogdale Rd., Faversham. Born Newnham. SD and RH agree that he was a Corporal . Kent Cyclist Battalion. The Marriage Records have a Frank Butler marrying Emily Sarah Croucher in Faversham in July 1. Niederzwehren Cemetery in central Germany was started in 1. Commonwealth, French, and Russian Prisoners of War and enemy civilians. Frank, therefore, died in German hands. After the war, in 1. CWGC began moving all Commonwealth dead in Germany from smaller cemeteries and concentrating them in four big ones of which this was one. The French and Russians were also gathered together elsewhere. Commonwealth soldiers were brought in to make a final total of 1,7. In the 1. 89. 1 census, we find John Butler, 4. Agricultural Waggoner, born in Newnham, living in Stuppington Farm, Norton, near Faversham with his wife Annie, 3. Henry, 1. 5, Agricultural Labourer; James, 1. Scholar; Frederick, 9, Scholar; Frank, 6, Scholar; Ellen, 4; Albert, 2; and Charles, 1 month all born in Norton. In 1. 90. 1, Frank was still at home on Stuppington Farm aged 1. Carter on the Farm. His older brothers Henry and James had left home and there is no mention of little Charles, but a new youngest brother is there called George, aged 8. In 1. 91. 1, Frank's father, who was now a widower, aged 6. Farm Labourer, living at the same Stuppington Farm with his daughter Ellen and her husband and two little girls. Meanwhile, Frank, 2. Emily Sarah, 2. 7, born in Lenham Heath, were living at Fir Tree Cottages, Pedding, near Wingham. Frank was a Groom/Gardener and their two boys were Dennis Robert, 4, and Noel William, 2, both born in Newnham, near Faversham. Two big questions remain: why is Frank commemorated on the Bridge Memorial, and why is he also to be found on the Nackington Memorial? He apparently has no connection with either parish unless, perhaps, he and his family moved into one of them when he took a new job between 1. According to CWGC, as we have seen, his wife Emily's address is given as Brogdale Rd., Faversham which is hard to reconcile with Frank working in Bridge or Nackington unless she moved there with the boys after the war and after Frank's death. If, however, he did have a job in one of them, the two parishes did have a common border to the east of Renville Farm and, if he lived on that border, it might have been difficult to decide to which parish he belonged. H. Dutnall L. Cpl. R. W. Kent Regt. CWGC says he was Henry Dutnall No. Lance Corporal in 1. Battalion Queen's Own . He died on 2. 6th July 1. Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial to the Missing. SD adds that he was born in Sittingbourne, enlisted in Canterbury and was Killed in Action. It also says he was formerly No. Royal East Kent Mounted Rifles. RH agrees and adds that the Mounted Rifles were a Yeomanry Regiment. Henry is one of only two of the thirteen men whose Army Service Record has survived. This tells us that he was unmarried and living in Ash when he enlisted on 1st May 1. He was 2. 2, a Chauffeur and had been born in Borden, Sittingbourne. He joined a Territorial Force, the Mounted Rifles as a motor cyclist Despatch Rider. He was transferred to 2/1st Battalion Kent Cyclist Battalion No. March 1. 91. 6, presumably still as a Despatch Rider, and one week later, on the 1. Lance Corporal. Until the 3rd January 1. This address seems odd, but perhaps, when he went off to war, she moved in with relatives and this might also explain why, after his death, she had two different addresses in Portsmouth to the second of which his medal, plaque and scroll were sent. A curious letter to the Infantry Record Office is preserved in his Record. It was sent by his wife Helene on 2nd September 1. Henry was dead, and asking for confirmation of this and for information about pensions. It seems very odd that she had not been told of his death herself. Henry's body had not been recovered, but the Record confirms that he was Killed in Action. The place and date of his death indicate that he was killed during the truly dreadful British offensive known as the 3rd Battle of Ypres or the Battle of Passchendaele, or . She was Julia Dutnall, a widow of 7. Andover, and Charles, 3. Borden, gave his occupation as Farmer. Henry was 7, born in Borden. To find out about Henry's mother, I checked the 1. Charles Dutnall, 2. Farm Labourer with his wife Catherine, 3. Borden, living in Borden with his parents Henry, 6. Farmer, and Julia, 6. The Birth Records reveal that Henry was born in April 1. Death Records show that Catherine died in that same April 1. It is very likely that she died giving birth to her first and only child. In the 1. 91. 1 census Henry Dutnall, 1. Chauffeur, and his father Charles, 4. Farm Bailiff, were Boarders with Postman William Kemp and his wife in Guilton, Ash. The fact that he was a chauffeur before the war explains how he could become a motor cyclist Despatch Rider. A final piece of evidence on Henry comes from the Marriage Records. In December 1. 91. Kent Cyclist Battalion in England, Henry married Helene Tunnicliffe in Thanet only a few days before he was sent to France. The big question still remains, why is he commemorated in Bridge? Since he was living in Ash in 1. Ash at both these dates, there seems to be no logical reason why Bridge can claim him. Perhaps the explanation is that his father Charles got a new job and moved to Bridge soon after the war, but this would not explain the fact that Henry is commemorated on the Memorial in Ash as well. Given that he was 1. C. S. Ford Pte. Guards. CWGC has a Cecil Stanley Ford Private 1. Battalion Grenadier Guards. He died on 2. 0th October 1. Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial to the Missing. SD agrees and adds that he was born in Bridge, enlisted in Canterbury and was Killed in Action. It also gives his rank correctly as Guardsman, not Private. RH adds nothing new. The fact that he was killed in the Ypres Salient and the very early date of his death means that he fell in what was to be named the First Battle of Ypres. The German Schlieffen Plan was to deliver a massive right hook through Belgium and on to Paris, but the British and French were able to halt their advance on the River Marne in September 1. Belgium at Ypres in mid- October, preventing German capture of the vital Channel Ports. Cecil makes his first appearance in a census in 1. Here we find William Ford, 3. Carpenter, born in Bishopsbourne and his wife Jane, 3. Barham living at the Carpenter's shop, High St., Bridge. With them are their nine children, all born in Bridge: Amelia, 1. Ethel, 1. 2; Edith, 1. Florence, 8; Louisa, 7; Herbert, 6, all six of them Scholars .
