Diary, synopsis. "
Excerpt from the Battalion diary, 7th July 1916, the
day Frederick fell in Ovillers, see the full Battalion diary for complete
information.
"The 8th Royal Fusiliers were part of 36th Brigade (which
also contained the 9th Royal Fusiliers and the 7th Royal Sussex) of the 12th
Division. On the 7th of July 1916 they were to attack the village of Ovillers on
the Albert to Bapaume road. In the early part of the morning they were pounded
by a barrage as they awaited orders to advance, the Brigade lost an estimated
300 casualties as the men were packed in to the confinement of the assembly
trenches.
At 8.30am their "blood was up" and they assaulted the German
positions carrying the first three lines of trenches in a "furious assault. No
quarter was given in this terrible fight" They did however take "a great number
of prisoners". Their ranks were too thin to hold all their gains so they
consolidated the second of the German lines.
The three battalions are
estimated to have lost around 1,400 men, killed wounded and missing in the
assault that morning."."

The attack was preceded by an artillery

at 8.30am. At same the Bde. on our right attacked towards OVILLERS & at 8.30am
the 36 Inf. Bde. attacked. The btn attacked directly the barrage lifted on a
frontage of 1 Coys. (about 120yds) in 4 lines. D Coy. Leading followed by B C D
Coys. each at about 30yds intervals.
The enemy kept up a slow machine gun
fire from the right flank during the bombardment, which increased in violence
directly our men approached on the parapet, the Bde. on my right apparently not
having destroyed all the hostile emplacements. The enemy then placed a barrage
of shrapnel over the [next page] 500 yards of No Man's Land across which the
attack took place.
The final line, (D Coys.) suffered heavy casualties
from the first, and momentarily over whelmed by heavy machine gun fire, was
caught up by the 2nd & 3rd lines. With the 3rd, the Colonel & Adgt. advanced &
caught up with the first line. With gallant courage the Colonel led the attack
& waving his stick, he shouted the familiar words of encouragement of a field
day. The Adgt. was seen to fall, the Col had already been wounded in the hand &
leg & before reaching the enemy line he was hit again in the thighs & soon
afterwards fell when hit the 4th time just under the heart.
The line
swept on still suffering heavy casualties, five officers were left but the men
gallantly led by their Ncos. reinforced by the 4th wave carried the final enemy
trench & immediately dashed on to the 2nd objective which was taken. The
weakened remnants still pressed forward & positions of the 3rd objective were in
our hand. The btn had lost so heavily that the 2nd objective was with
difficulty kept with a state of defence.
There were now no officers' left.
The btn had captured 2 strongly fortified lines of trenches & had finally
established themselves on the edge of the village.
Casualties among
officers were Capt. Featherstonhaugh (B Coy), Capt Chard (C Coy) & Capt Franklin
(D Coy). Coy. Commanders were killed. Capt Adjutant Robertson Walker, missing
believed killed. 2nd Lt Procter killed. "2nd Lt Arnold, missing believed
killed. 17 other officers were wounded.

of. "
On 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, the 8th
Division attacked Ovillers and the 34th Division La Boisselle. The villages were
not captured, but ground was won between them and to the south of La Boisselle.
On 4 July, the 19th (Western) Division cleared La Boisselle and on 7 July the
12th (Eastern) and 25th Divisions gained part of Ovillers, the village being
cleared by the 48th (South Midland) Division on 17 July. The two villages were
lost during the German advance in March 1918, but they were retaken on the
following 24 August by the 38th (Welsh) Division. Ovillers Military Cemetery was
begun before the capture of Ovillers, as a battle cemetery behind a dressing
station. It was used until March 1917, by which time it contained 143 graves,
about half the present Plot I. The cemetery was increased after the Armistice
when Commonwealth and French graves where brought in, mainly from the
battlefields of Pozieres, Ovillers, La Boisselle and Contalmaison. There are now
3,439 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War buried or commemorated in
the cemetery. 2,479 of the burials are unidentified but there are special
memorials to 24 casualties believed to be buried among them. Other special
memorials record the names of 35 casualties, buried in Mash Valley Cemetery,
whose graves were destroyed in later fighting. The cemetery also contains 120
French war graves. The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker.

THE FIRST WORLD WAR - WESTERN FRONT
In the First World War the
Western Front - a battle line extending from the channel coast to Switzerland
along which, for four years, millions of men fought and died - was the principal
and vital theatre. Against the German Army were arrayed the armies of the
British Commonwealth, France, Belgium and latterly, the United States. The
first two months, a war of movement, saw the containment and partial repulse of
the initial German thrust. There then followed three and a half years of static
trench fighting - war of attrition - during which defensive power was paramount.
Neither side could affect a breakthrough and great battles were fought for
small territorial gains. The last seven months were again a war of movement
culminating in the Allied offensive, starting in August, which finally achieved
the breakthrough leading to the armistice of 11 November 1918.
The six
divisions of the British Expeditionary Force, which went to France at the outset
in 1914, were deployed amongst the French armies and played their full part from
23 August in the Battles of Mons, Le Cateau, The Marne and the Aisne. The next
three weeks, during which the battle line moved every day, were a highly
critical period in which the German plan for ending the war at a stroke was
foiled and the issue deferred.
In the first two weeks of October the BEF
was moved from the central sector of the front to Flanders. This move shortened
its lines of communication, which ran through Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne, and
enabled it to protect these ports which were vital both to its own supply and
reinforcement and to the Royal Navy's command of the Channel Over the next four
years, during which its strength rose to fifty British and twelve overseas
Commonwealth divisions - Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, South African,
Indian and troops from Newfoundland, the British West Indies and other
territories - the BEF progressively took over more of the northern sector of the
Allied line and fought a series of battle of attrition of which the greatest was
the First Battle of the Somme in 1916.
After the German offensives of late
March to mid-July 1918 had been contained the advance to victory began on 8
August with the Battle of Amiens, continued on a broadening front with the
Second Battles of the Somme and/or Arras and in September, extended to the Ypres
Salient. The advance swiftly gathered momentum and by the day of the armistice
the front line ran fifty miles or more eastward of the starting points.
Nearly 750,000 Commonwealth soldiers, sailors and airmen died on the Western
Front - 200,000 in Belgium and over 500,000 in France. They are commemorated
upon headstones marking graves in over 1,000 war cemeteries and 2,000 civil
cemeteries, or on one of the six memorials in Belgium and twenty in France,
which carry the names of more than 300,000 who have no known grave.".

9Coat of Arms - May, German origin
(www.houseofnames.com). "
German Origin.
The Shield: Blue background with
a silver tower.
The Crest: Five ostrich feathers.
The motto: None.
The German surname may first emerged in the Rhineland, and means, simply,
"May." The name was most likely originally borne by someone who was either born
in the month of May or particularly fond of the spring.
Spelling
variations include: May, Mai, Mais, Maye, Mey, de May, du May, Maya and many
more. First found in the Rhineland, where this family was a prominent
contributor to the development of the district from ancient times.". "
English Origin.
Shield: Red with a gold horizontal stripe between eight gold
squares.
Crest: A leopard's head emerging from a crown.
Motto: None.
The May family name dates back to 1066 when the Norman Conquest of England
introduced a plethora of new names and words into Britain. It comes from an
early member of the family who was a person born or baptized in the month of
May. The name May is derived from the Old French word mai, which has cognates in
the other European languages that were all derived from the Latin word Maius.
This name was also a nickname for a person with a particularly sunny disposition
or a person who had an anecdotal connection with the month of May. Often this
connection would be the time that feudal obligations were owed. Nicknames, such
as may, that described the time or season of the birth, baptism or conversion of
the original bearer were frequently adopted in the medieval era. Additionally,
numerous nicknames referred to various religious festivals, medieval name days,
or the particular day of the week when feudal services were fulfilled.
Spelling variations include: May, Mai, Maye and others. First found in
Sussex where they were anciently seated as Lords of the manor of Faunt."

of Victory. Approximately 5,725,000 British Victory medals were issued. Those
personnel who gained a MID between 4 August 1914 and 10 August 1920 worn the oak
leaf on the medal's ribbon. This is illustrated in the picture above.
The
medal was issued to Army personnel who actually served on the establishment of
an unit within a theatre of war within the period 4 August 1914 to 11 November
1918.". "Engraved on edge

The

migration after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name hayward is for a person
who was in charge of protecting an enclosed forest from damage by vandals,
animals, and poachers. The name was originally derived from the Old English
haye, which meant enclosure.
Spelling variations include: Hayward, Heyward,
Haward, Haywood, Heywood and others.

they were seated from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of
Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of

HARRY JOHN
TAYLOR was born on 22nd July 1869 at Southam Street. (He should have been called
Henry but a mistake was made and he was registered "Harry") In 1882 he started
work at the W.H.Smith's Bookstall on Paddington Station where he gave the papers
to Princess Beatrice, Queen Victoria's youngest daughter. In 1884 he was an
assistant at Reading and later moved to Devizes where he was in charge. By 1901
he was Manager of the Bookstall in Paignton while living in a boarding house in
Sands Road.
On 10th October 1903 he married LOUISA WALTERS of Hermosa,
Torquay, a lodging house kept by her widowed father, Thomas at St. Mark's
Church. Harry was then living at 100 Old Mill Lane, Cockington. On 21st July
1905 their only child, WINIFRED LOUISE was born and that same year the Paignton
W.H. Smith shop was opened with Harry as Manager. He was an active member and
treasurer of the newly formed Paignton Operatic Society and also the Torquay
Operatic Society when he moved to Torquay in 1910 to open the shop there.
They stayed there for 9 years when another move took the family to
Eastbourne. Here Winnie continued with her musical training studying under a
hard task master, Mr. Tass. In 1926 they moved to Bournemouth where Winnie
played for Dancing Classes and in the evenings with a Trio or Quartet in many of
the large Hotels there and often going as far as Salisbury. She spent her
holidays in Torquay with her old school friend, Doris Atwell and was later
bridesmaid where Doris married Chas. Slee. She also met up with Ken Holman, a
family known to her parents when they lived there. Ken drove to and fro to
Torquay and they became engaged in the early 1930's.
In November 1934
Harry retired and moved back to Paignton and on 23rd March 1935 Ken and Win were
married in Paignton Parish Church and moved into Matlock Garage. Harry and
Louisa moved to Preston just before the war and stayed there until 1954 when
they bought Haytor View, next door to Matlock Garage. In August 1956 Louisa had
a stroke and she and Harry then moved next door. Harry died in 1959 and Louisa
in 1965 just seeing her great grandson, Stephen.
