"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."."

36 Inf. Bdg. attacked OVILLERS. The 8th R. Fus. being the 1st Battn of the 3 assaulting Bns.
The Battn was given 5 objectives.
The German front trench with right on X8C4.2 Ref Trench Map France 57 SE.
The support line 200 yds in rear with right my X8C4.2.
The Lines 100 yds in bar with rt. X8C7.7.
The Church & houses round it.
The final trench at far side of village.
The attack was preceded by an artillery bombardment of the enemy front & support lines commencing at 6.45am and lifting at 8.30am. At same the Bde. on our right attacked towards OVILLERS & at 8.30am the 36 Inf. Bde. attacked. The Bn 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 Bn had lost so heavily that the 2nd objective was with difficulty kept with a state of defence.
There were now no officers' left. The Bn 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.
The Bn. went into action about 800 strong & came out 160 strong: a large proportion of the casualties were wounded.

25Ovillers Military Cemetery, history of (© 2005 White Swan Video Services). "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.
7th July 1916, the day Frederick Baston fell in Ovillers (Extract from Battalion Diary)
The 8th Royal Fusiliers were part of the 36th Brigade (which also contained the 9th Royal Fusiliers and the 7th Royal Sussex) of the 12th Division. On the 7th July 1916 they were to attack the village of Ovillers on the Albert - 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 thy assembly trenches.

26Ovillers Military Cemetery Map of the Battle Areas (© 2005 White Swan Video Services, taken 2006). "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.".

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." Source Image. Citation Image.

Although the First World War ended in 1918, the qualification period was extended to cover post-war mine clearance and service in Russia during 1919-20.A total of approximately 6,500,000 silver medals were issued. A total of approximately 110,000 bronze versions of this medal were issued to Chinese, Maltese, Indian and other native Labour Corps and also to other native personnel who were mobilised for war service and received pay at military rates.
Army - This medal was issued to Army personnel who either entered a theatre of war on duty or who left their place of residence and rendered approved service overseas, other than the waters dividing the different parts of the UK, between 4 August 1914 and 11 November 1918.". "Engraved on edge

This medal was instituted in 1919 to commemorate the victory of the Allies over the Central Powers. It was resolved that each of the Allies should issue a Victory Medal to their own nationals. All the issues would have the common obverse of a picture 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.

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.
