Arnold Roy BARTRAM [1895 - 1917]


.
Arnold Roy BARTRAM

was born in Richmond,  Victoria, Australia

in 1895 to
 George Andrew BARTRAM and Isabella SHANDS
.
 


George and Isabella were married on 27 August 1878 in Richmond, Victoria, Australia and had seven children. 

As a young boy, Arnold attended the Yarra Park State School in East Melbourne.

Yarra Park State School.
Date(s) of creation: [ca. 1900]
State Library of Victoria


He was a 21 year old Shipping Clerk and living with his parents at 9 Hull St, Richmond when he enlisted in the AIF on 6 June 1916. Private Bartram at that time was assigned to the 58th Battalion.

Both Arnold and his brother Cyril, were in the 58th Battalion, 4th Reinforcement.



He embarked from Melbourne for Plymouth per the H.M.A.T. "Orsova," on the 1st of August 1916 with the 4th reinforcements and then proceeded to France per the "Princess Henrietta," on the 6th of December 1916.

H. M. A. T. "Orsova,"

O5 January 1917 Arnold was "taken on strength" to the 60th Battalion in the field at Fribourt, France.

According to the unit diary - on the 14th January they left Ribmount at 8:30am and marched through Buire to Fricourt Camp where they could shower and enjoy a hot meal ... after all, it was not the best of days to be out 'walking'. The day was quite cold and snow had been falling for at least three hours.

winter of 1917 (thanks to the AWM)

By the 24th January the 60th Bn was at Needle Trench (near Lesboeufs) in France. The morning seemed to be 'quiet' but by the afternoon Needle Trench was being heavily shelled. The 60th Battalion asked for retaliation which was successful in stopping the enemy's shelling.

The 60th Battalion were around Longueval for the first couple of weeks of February, when they then moved on to the Flers area. Longueval is near where the Battle of Delville Wood took place in late 1916.

Enemy artillery was active throughout the cold and frosty night of 4th March, where they were still in the Flers area.  Arnold was admitted to hospital for gastroenteritis on the 13th of March, but back with his Battalion the following week. By the 18th the 60th Bn had evacuated and moved onto Fremicourt where they stayed until 25th March.

During the month of April, the Battalion moved from Beaulencourt, St Aubin, then back to Beaulencourt and onto Mametz where
they arrived at 5:00pm on 20th April.  The complete Battalion was engaged in camp cleaning & cleansing of persons and stayed at Mametz for the duration of April.

the above map will guide you as to the 60th Battalion movements 
during the first half of 1917
which also shows the movement of Arnold Bartram during this time, where he was KIA and where buried.

C - Fricourt - January 1917

D - Longueval - January 1917

E - Haplincourt - March 1917

F - Beulencourt - April 1917

G - Noreuil - May 1917 - KIA at the second Battle of Bullecourt.

H - Grevillers Cemetery - where burie
d.



With the month of May came the first touch of Spring. The unit diary even makes note of the weather: 

02 May 1917 - Fine clear spring day......
03 May 1917 - weather fine, though rather overcast with strong NE winds......
04 May 1917 - fine, warm & clear day with little wind......
05 May 1917 - fine, warm and overcast. ...
06 May 1917 - fine, warm & windy.

On the 10th May the 60th Battalion were at Noreuil and at 10:00am the diary notes that the men were
improving their dugouts & clearing up the area they were occupying.

By 9:00pm D Company - who were located in a sunken road on the opposite  side of the village were subjected to some heavy shelling. One killed and four wounded... and the following day the forward area was still under constant shell fire.

At 12:30am on the morning of 12th May 1917, B & C Company (Arnold was in C Company)  marched forward and took over front and support line trenches from 58th Battalion. At 2.30am the enemy was shelling the support line heavily. According to the diary, the stretcher bearers "did a splendid job" in carrying out the wounded. Total: 13 Killed in Action and 71 Wounded.
 

This is when Arnold
received a gun shot wound to the abdomen - in the Second Battle of Bullecourt - on the 12th of May 1917.




He died of his wounds on the 13th of May 1917 aged 21 years. 


He was first buried in the soldiers grave between Noreuil & Vaulx. Later buried at Greveillers British Cemetery (actual date NK)

William Gordon Tucker - [1888 - 1918]



William Gordon Tucker enlisted in the AIF at Melbourne, using the name Sidney William Tucker, on 18 May 1917, but was not accepted until two months later on 18 July 1917 .

He was given the service number 6948A and was marked for 20 re-Enforcements, 22nd Battalion.  

(William was given "A" to his number on 11 Mar 1918, owing to a duplication).  

He stated he was born in Adelaide, SA, and was 26y 9m of age.   Though other records state that he was born in a  small settlement named Whyte Yarcowie, north of Adelaide in South Australia. At the 2006 census it had a population of 119!

Williams parents were William Hill Tucker and Lina Augusta Degenhardt who had married in South Australia in 1880.

William married Rose Mary Diana Norman at East Caulfield, (Victoria, Australia) on 7th May 1915.

Their first child - Gordon Claude Tucker - was born in Richmond on 19th December 1915.



When he enlisted into the AIF on 18th May 1917 - he decided to change his name to Sidney William TUCKER and stated he was married and nominated his wife, Mrs  Rose Mary Tucker, of 13 Bendigo St, Prahran, Victoria as his Next Of Kin.  

This was later amended to Burnley, then to 14 Kimber St, Burnley, Victoria.  



He declared that he had never been convicted by the Civil Power, nor had he ever been rejected as unfit for His Majesty's Service.   He nominated 3/5 of his pay to the support of his wife and 4 children. 

He was 5'8" tall, weighed 148lbs, had chest measurements of 33-37", with fresh complexion, blue eyes and brown hair.   His religion was C of E.   His only distinctive marks were a scar on his right leg.   He was considered fit for Active Service on 18 May 1917.

One week later Rose gave birth to their second child - Stanley William John Tucker - on 25th May 1917 in Richmond.


On 15 Jun 1917 William was at Recruit Depot, Broadmeadows and on 14 Aug 1917 was transferred to M Coy, 2nd Depot Battalion Broadmeadows until 2 Oct 1917.   Prior to embarkation for overseas duty William submitted his Will, nominating his wife as his beneficiary and his father, William Tucker of 14 Kimber St, Burnley as his Executor.

It was about this time that the Camp Commandant, Broadmeadows received a letter dated 10 Jul 1917 requesting that "a William Tucker but I think he is under the name of Allen and he is a German desent (sic) and he said he would not fight...."  The letter was signed " A True Britisher and a soldier in the 9 (th?)"   (A copy of this letter is on file.)


Prior to his embarkation overseas, William had a series of Absent Without Leave Charges against him:  

10 Jul 1917, at Preston, 14 Days AWL, 40 shilling fine. 
21 Jul 1917, at Preston, 5 days AWL, 14 days detention. 
15 Aug 1917, at Northcote, 9 days AWL, 14 days detention.

23 Oct 1917, at Broadmeadows, 3 days AWL, 28 days detention. 
02 Nov 1917, at  Broadmeadows, 16 days AWL, fined One Pound, and one day detention and to be embarked.


On 21 November 1917, Sidney William Tucker (as he was then known) embarked on board the "H.M.A.T. A71 Nestor" with the 20/22nd Battalion bound for Europe and disembarked at Suez on 15 Dec 1917.

Whilst he was at Port Said, William was convicted of being one hour Absent Without Leave and was awarded 14 days Field Punishment No2.

He then embarked on board "Monas Queen" at Cherbourg on 31 Jan 1918, disembarking at Southampton, England on 2 Feb 1918.   On that date he marched in to 6th Trg Bn, Fovant, for training.


At Fovant, England on 18 Mar 1918, William was again Absent Without Leave from 0830 to 1630.   He was convicted and awarded 4 days Field Punishment No 2 and Forfeited 5 days pay. Still at Fovant, William again went AWL from 0800 25 Mar 1918 to 1400 28 Mar 1918 and this time his conviction earned him 168hrs Detention and loss of 11 Days Pay.  He was in Lewes Detention Barracks, London,  from 2 Apr-20 Apr 1918.


William proceeded overseas to France embarking at Folkestone on 29 Apr 1918 and marched into Etaples on 30 Apr 1918.   He left Etaples 4 May 1918 and was taken on strength 22nd Battalion, in the Field, on 7 May 1918.On 23 Jul 1918 William was "Gassed" in France, and was admitted to 49th Casualty Clearing Station on 24 Jul 1918.   William was admitted to No 2 Cas Station, Abbeyville on 6 Aug 1918 and then to  AusConvDepot, Havre on 11 Aug 1918 and remained under treatment until 03 September 1918 when he rejoined 22 Battalion. 


His wife was advised of the gassing by letter dated 10 Aug 1918, but this letter was returned as "Not known" to letter carriers Richmond, and "Gone Away 13 Aug 1918".

William Gordon Tucker  died of wounds received in action, France, on 3 Oct 1918.  

There is no further explanation of his "wounds".
The Battle of Beaurevoir 03 October 1918 - 06 October 1918  Relates to involvement in the Allied offensives on the Western Front in early October 1918 against the final systems of the German defence lines immediately behind the Hindenburg Line. Specifically acknowledges the breaching of the Beaurevoir Line and the fighting for and capture of the Village of Beaurepair on 5 October 1918-6 October 1918.





On 21 Feb 1919 William was buried at Carriere British Cemetery, 6 1/2 miles NNW of St Quentin, France.  

His body was later exhumed and re-buried at Bellicourt British Cemetery, 1/2 mile NNW of Beaurevoir, 4 miles N W of Brancourt.

Arthur Joseph Weir [1889 - 1916]




Arthur Joseph Weir was born on 6 February 1889 at Winiam, a small village in the western district of Victoria, Australia. 

His parents being:
Robert Weir [1860 - 1951]
Louisa Westendorf [1866 - 1950].

Louisa was born in 1866 at Nelson between Portland & Port MacDonnell
on the Victorian coast. She married Arthur's father - Robert Weir - at Winiam in 1887.

Robert was born at Portland in 1860 and died at the age of 91 in 1951.


Louisa and Robert had eight children, two of their children - Frederick & Arthur - were listed as being killed in action during WW1.


Location of Winiam, Victoria, Australia

Arthur enlisted in Melbourne on 15th July 1915 at the age of 26 years and was granted the service number of 358. Arthur acknowledged his father - Robert Weir - as his next of kin.



He was added to the 29th Battalion - The 29th Battalion being raised as part of the 8th Brigade at Broadmeadows Camp in Victoria on 10th August 1915.

Another family member - Edward Harold Artso - also enlisted in the 29th Battalion and was KIA ~ 18th May 1918.



on 5th November 1915, The Battalion proceeded by three special trains to Melbourne where a route march through the principle streets took place. His Excellency the Governor of Victoria & Minister of Defence inspected the troops taking salute on the steps of Parliament House prior to their departure to the Middle East.

The HMAT Ascanius departed Melbourne on 19th November 1915 bound for the Australian training camps in Egypt, where the AIF would undergo a doubling in size and reorganization after its withdrawal from the Gallipoli campaign.


plan of the HMAT Ascanius - November 1915

Training was continued on board ship, but with only 200 rifles being available for this purpose! While "at sea", along with other soldiers, Arthur was charged with the crime of 'gambling' and was cautioned!



By 7 December 1915, the Ascanius had arrived at Port Suez in Egypt where the troops disembarked. One week later the Battalion had received orders to move and proceeded to Ismailia by train.

While Arthur was in the Middle East, his brother - Frederick William Weir - enlisted on 17th March 1916 in the AIF at Horsham. He was in the 38th Battalion and departed from Melbourne on 20th June 1916 on board the HMAT Runic.

Arthur was bound for France
on 14th June 1916 on board the troopship HMT Tunisian. One week later he had arrived at Marseilles with the rest of the 29th Battalion and was then transported by rail to Hazebrouk.

10 July 1916 the 29th Battalion were in Bois-Granier, northern France.
This area was known as "The Nursery" because it was a relatively quiet sector and was used to introduce new troops to trench warfare.

The Battle of Fromelles (19–20 July 1916) was a British military operation on the Western Front during World War I, subsidiary to the Battle of the Somme. General Headquarters ("GHQ") of the British Expeditionary Force ("BEF") had ordered the First Army and Second Army to prepare attacks to support the Fourth Army on the Somme 80 kilometres (50 mi) to the south, to exploit any weakening of the German defences opposite.

The attack took place 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) from Lille, between the Fauquissart–Trivelet road and Cordonnerie Farm, an area overlooked from Aubers Ridge to the south. The 29th Battalion took part in an attack against the Germans around Delangre Farm. The ground was low-lying and much of the defensive fortifications on both sides consisted of breastworks, rather than trenches.


The ruins of a brick chimney at Delangre Farm, the scene of severe fighting in the attack at Fromelles on 19 July 1916. Barbed wire entanglements in the foreground remain standing two years after the battle.
The 8th Brigade was positioned on the northern end of the Australian attack line at The Battle of Fromelles. Arthur Weir was amongst the 5,533 Australian casualties from the disastrous attack on the heavily defended ‘Sugar Loaf’ Salient at Fromelles. At first Arthur was listed as MIA, but was soon reported as KIA.
 
Much has been written about the massive losses as well as the battle itself. Some of it can be seen here on Wikipedia. 


The Australian War Memorial states: The 8th Brigade joined the newly raised 5th Australian Division in Egypt and proceeded to France, destined for the Western Front, in June 1916. The 29th Battalion fought its first major battle at Fromelles on 19 July 1916.

The nature of this battle was summed up by one 29th soldier: “the novelty of being a soldier wore off in about five seconds … it was like a bloody butcher’s shop.”


A German propaganda postcard showing dead "English" soldiers (according to the German caption) arranged in a wooded area near Fromelles just after the battle of 19–20 July 1916.
The Australian War Memorial notes that many of the soldiers are already covered with groundsheets: eyelets from groundsheets (used to lower the bodies into the deep graves) were recovered from the Pheasant Wood site.

The aftermath of the battle, showing the bodies of Australian
men covered with blankets, 20 July 1916.

The battle at Fromelles was the only battle the AIF fought in the Western Front that failed to produce a positive response. Much of the blame was placed on poor planning and execution of the British High command, supposedly "professional" soldiers.

C.E.W. Bean recounts;

“We found the old No-Man’s-Land simply full of our dead,” he recorded. “The skulls and bones and torn uniforms were lying about everywhere.”



With their ID discs removed, the remains were unidentifiable. They were buried in an unmarked, common grave in what is now VC Corner cemetery.  The names of all those lost are engraved on a series of tablets across the back of the cemetery. 

Large numbers of soldiers were not accounted for.  On the left flank, the 8th Brigade penetrated the German lines looking for a supposed second line of trenches.  Instead all they found was a muddy ditch and having over-extended, and with their right flank exposed by the failure of the neighbouring Brigades to neutralise the enemy machine guns, they were enfiladed, progressively cut off and destroyed piecemeal in counterattacks and clearance actions by the German defenders throughout the night and early morning of the 20th July.  Many had been killed or captured  behind enemy lines, mainly from the 8th Brigade.  The dead - including Arthur Weir - were were buried by the Germans.
The body of Arthur was later recovered and it was not until the research of amateur historian Lambis Englezos that the clue to his possible burial place was revealed. Nineteen members of the 29th Battalion were listed amongst the 175 missing diggers from the Battle of Fromelles.

Included in the Red Cross files were copies of the German death vouchers completed by the German army when they cleared their trenches, after the battle, and the subsequent appearance of the names on German death lists. (see below)

This provided Lambis with the vital clue to where these soldiers had been buried. The second vital clue was the documentation stating that the identity discs of the soldiers had been returned to their families.


fallen soldiers were removed from the battlefield by the Germany Army and transported by light rail systems.

The Australian soldiers had been taken to the field adjacent to Pheasant Wood where they were placed in pits and lay undetected for nearly 92 years.

Photo: Pheasant Wood excavation trench

In 2007, The Australian Army commissioned Glasgow University Archaeological Research Department (GUARD) to undertake non-invasive surveys to assess the likelihood of burials having taken place at Pheasant Wood, and whether the ground had been disturbed by subsequent recovery.  The excavations have confirmed the presence of a significant number of human remains, consistent with the German accounts of the burials of Australian and British soldiers in the pits at Pheasant Wood.


..... on 13 March 1917 the identification disc (of Arthur Weir) was received from Germany. No particulars afforded except that the soldier is deceased.
