Khaki in colour and sombre in content. "Cravens Part in the Great War", there will not have been many households in Barlick and what was then a much larger Craven Area, that did not have at least one copy of this book. In my immediate Family there would have been at least four and I still have two of them, albeit that one is with my son on Anglesey. Over the years I have seen them at jumble sales, in second hand shops and in piles of rubbish for disposal, even left behind when a house has been vacated. They will have turned up all over the place, I have come across them in Wales, the Isle of Wight and Hampshire, the two that I have belonged to my Father and Maternal Grandfather.
Many years ago I went through one of them from cover to cover noting those from Barlick who had given their lives in the service of King and Country, my notes are long gone so I am going to do it again, a few pages at a time, but this time I will include other local places within an approximate seven mile radius, Gisburn, Foulridge, Earby and so on. I will post my findings on here with the name, address and a precis of other details, as some are quite extensive, each name is to have the page number for my reference so that if anyone wants further information, I can soon find it. In a good number of cases there is a photograph, these I will copy and post in groups of ten at suitable intervals. In the book there are 391 pages so I will use a few abreviations hopefully all self explanatory, ie, KIA:- Killed in Action. MPD:- Missing presumed Dead. DOW:- Died as a result of Wounds, and one that is all too frequent, DFD:- Died from Disease or Illness.
One Man was responsible for the existance of these books and that was Mr, Walter Morrison Esq, JP of Malham Tarn who put forward the idea of the book and defrayed the entire cost.
There is quite a bit about the war itself up to page 50, including the Rohilla Tradgedy, then comes the dreadful list of those who did not come home, and so it is that on page 57 we find the first of Barlicks Sons, and is as follows:-

2nd Lieut Harry Thornton Pickles, 3rd Bn Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regiment (SR) second son of Mr Stephen Pickles JP, CC, Of Raysgill Barnoldswick KIA 26th April 1916 aged 26. P57.

In these first ten pages the extent of family loss is made very clear for it was in the Village of Carleton nr Skipton that this comes up:-

P53,  Lieut. Anthony E.K. Slingsby, 1/6th Duke of Wellington's (WR) Regiment, Son of Mr and Mrs J A Slingsby Carla Beck Carleton. KIA France 14th July 1915. Aged 26.
P57,  Captain Arthur Morris Slingsby, MC 56th Punjabi Rifles,  2nd son of Mr and Mrs J A Slingsby KIA 8th March 1916 in Mesopotamia. Aged 30.
P58.  Lieut. Stephen Slingsby of HMS Defence, 4th son of Mr and Mrs J A Slingsby. KIA in North Sea June 1916. Aged 24.
This out of a total of five sons all serving.
 
Lothersdale is the next local Village with on P62.  Lieut Alec Wilson, 1st Herefordshire Regiment, Son of Mr and Mrs F J Wilson JP of Lothersdale. KIA 26th March 1917 in Egypt.
P54, Lieut. The Hon, C. A. Lister Royal Marines, Hood Battalion, Only surviving son and heir of Lord Ribblesdale of Gisburne Park DOW 28th August 1915. Elder Brother killed in 1904 in Somaliland.
Greystones, Gisburn.  Lieut. George Proctor, Lancs Fusiliers, only son of Mr and Mrs Thomas Proctor. KIA 7th April 1918 aged 24. P70.
Marton is on P73, Which Marton is not clear,  2nd Lieut, Joseph Bryan Bushby South Staffs Regiment, son of Mr and Mrs Joseph Bushby, Schoolhouse Farm Marton, DOW, 4th October 1918 aged 26.

The following letter, received on Tuesday evening by Mrs. Geldard, 22, Wellington Street, Barnoldswick, gives ground for the worst fears in regard to the fate of her husband, Private C. H. Geldard, Duke of Wellington's Regiment, who we reported missing a fortnight ago:-
In the Field, September 14th, 1917
"Dear Mrs. Geldard, - I deeply regret to say that enquiries I have made point to the fact that your husband, Pte. C. H. Geldard, of my Company, was killed instantaneously by enemy shellfire in the early morning of August 28th whilst on his way to the dressing station. He had already been wounded in the ankle. I imagine that my own sincere sympathy, of which I assure you can do little to lessen your great sorrow, but I know you will find some consolation in the knowledge that your husband died as a brave soldier, and without suffering.

BARNOLDSWICK - French Decoration for Barnoldswick Sergeant
The French War Medal has been conferred upon Sergeant George Golding, Duke of Wellington's Regiment, for conspicuous gallantry and devotion in the attack on Boulon Wood on 27th November last. A native of Burnley he was formerly a well-known footballer associated with the Accrington Club and later with the Barnoldswick United. He enlisted in the Duke of Wellington's three years ago, but did not go out to France until February of last year. Sergt. Golding is a married man, his wife and daughter residing at 34, Town head, Barnoldswick.

rticle Date: 02 December 1921
BARNOLDSWICK - War Hero's Death
The circumstances of the death of ex-Sergeant George A. Golding, of 34 Town Head, which occurred on Saturday after prolonged illness, are particularly sad. The deceased, who was 41 years of age, and leaves a widow and two children, was a native of Burnley, but had resided at Barnoldswick for many years. He followed the occupation of twister and loomer in the employ of Mr. G. Dethick Brown. Crownest Shed. His first introduction to the town was as a player for the old Barnoldswick United Football Club, of which he was captain when the team first won the Craven Cup. Enlisting in 'Kitchener's Army' in the early days of the war, he served right through to the end, and emerged from the struggle practically unscathed, notwithstanding his participation in some of the heaviest fighting. While serving as private in the Duke of Wellington's he received the Military Medal and the Croix de Guerre, was mentioned in despatches for gallant conduct during the battle at Bourlon Wood, and was promoted to the rank sergeant for bravery on the field. On his discharge from the Army with a temporary pension, he resumed his former occupation, but before long his health broke down and about 10 months ago he underwent an operation at Beckett's Park Hospital, Leeds. This did not result in recovery, and his pension in the meantime had been discontinued on the ground that his illness was not attributable to war service. Some time subsequent to his discharge from hospital it appears that Golding appealed to the Army Medical Commissioners for a re-examination, and by the irony of fate a communication granting this request came to hand on the day he died. Steps are now being taken with the object of securing a pension for the widow. The interment took place at Gill Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, members of the Ivory Hall Working Men's Club acting as bearers. Wreaths were placed on the coffin from the Ivory Hall and the Discharged Sailors' and Soldiers' Club.

I mailed Chris Foster yesterday to tell him about the success in matching all of the names, the reply:-
 

Well done Peter, I’m pleased you’ve got plenty out of the site. It proves to me that we were right in setting it up in the first place. If you need any help in the future and feel as though we might be able to help, don’t hesitate to ask.

Best Wishes

GREEN - September 7th 1917, found drowned in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Skipton, Private Arthur Green, of 5, Powell Street, Barnoldswick.

Article Date: 14 September 1917
DISTRESSING TRAGEDY AT SKIPTON
Barnoldswick Soldier's Suicide
A distressing tragedy occurred at Skipton in the early hours of Friday morning last when a soldier from the War Auxiliary Hospital in Granville Street (Skipton and District Hospital) committed suicide in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The deceased was Private Arthur Green, of the Highland Light Infantry, and of 5, Powell Street, Barnoldswick. He was suffering from gastric ulcer, and he had been undergoing treatment at the Hospital since July last. His condition had varied, but the previous night he appeared much brighter. He was in charge of Miss Berry, a probationary nurse, who last saw the deceased about 2-40 on Friday morning when she passed through the ward. She noticed that Green did not appear to be asleep, and on returning about ten minutes later she found that deceased's bed was empty. She reported the matter to the Matron, and Miss Eggins roused several of the convalescent soldiers, who searched the grounds without success. Eventually, however, one of them found a pair of army socks on the allotments footpath adjoining the canal. The police were informed, and with the aid of grappling irons P.S. Pryke recovered the body from the centre of the canal. The body was conveyed to the hospital where Dr. Knight tried artificial respiration for half an hour but without avail. Dr. Knight had attended the deceased since August 28th. A few days previous to the event deceased was very ill and unconscious, but he rallied again and appeared to be progressing.
THE INQUEST
Mr. Edgar Wood (district coroner) conducted the inquiry at the Skipton Workhouse on Friday afternoon.
Probationer Nurse Berry said she was at present on night duty at he Skipton District Hospital, and had 34 parents under her care, including the deceased. None of them were seriously ill and did not require more attention than she could give them. The deceased had been under her care for the past six weeks and he was suffering from gastritis. She never thought there wasanything wrong with him mentally, but she believed he had worried about the chance of having to go abroad, and at seeing a man who had returned with the loss of his legs. Witness last saw him at twenty minutes to three that morning. He was in bed, but witness did not think he was asleep. She did not speak to him but went to another ward. On returning about ten or fifteen minutes later she at once noticed that he was missing, his bed being empty. There were nine other men in the ward, eight of whom she knew were asleep. She looked round for the deceased, and being unable to find any trace of him she reported the matter to the matron. It would have been easy for the deceased to get out of the hospital through the windows, but he had never done so before. He was a very quiet man, but she had not thought it necessary to call the doctor's attention to him. He had complained of a good deal of pain lately. She had found no letter. He was unconscious the previous Tuesday night and she at once called the matron, and she (witness) stayed with him.
James Green, 8, Low West Avenue, Barnoldswick, gave evidence of identification. He said his son enlisted about twelve months ago. In Judy he came home on ten days' sick leave and he was too ill to return. He was taken to the Skipton War Auxiliary Hospital. His son was never strong. Witness and deceased's wife saw him early on Tuesday morning in response to a special summons. He had been unconscious all the night. He stayed until 8 a.m., and his wife remained at the hospital all day. Witness never suspected that he would commit suicide, for he had never threatened to do such a thing. A cousin, however, did drown himself some time ago in the canal at Barnoldswick.
P.B. Pryke said he was informed that the deceased was missing at four o'clock that morning. He went to the hospital and was told that a pair of army socks bad been found in the allotments on the hospital side of the canal. It was quite near. Witness noticed that the grass leading direct from the path to the water was beaten down. He could not see any thing in the water, which gradually deepened from 2½ feet to 6 feet. He at once secured the grappling irons, and at 5-15 a.m. he recovered the body from the centre of the canal and right opposite where the socks had been found. He took it to the hospital and Dr. Knight tried artificial respiration but without success. The deceased was wearing a pair of trousers and a shirt. His legs and arms were quite free and he saw no signs of any struggle. Had the deceased got into the water accidentally he could have got out again had he wanted to.
Miss Eggins, the Matron, said that deceased was admitted to the hospital on July 7th. She had seen him every day since his admittance and she had never noticed that there was anything wrong with him mentally. He had not been seriously ill, but had an attack of unconsciousness the previous Tuesday morning. She had not a serious case in the hospital, and one nurse was quite sufficient to look after the whole of the 34 patients. She thought deceased was a morose sort of man and was not particularly sociable with the other patients. Witness heard a little before three o'clock that morning that the deceased was missing, and she at once telephoned for the doctor and to the police. Deceased could easily get out of the hospital, and his trousers would be close to him. All the other patients had said they never saw deceased get up.
Dr. Knight said he had been attending the deceased about ten days for gastritis On Tuesday he was unconscious, which he thought was due to a blood clot, but later he recovered. On Wednesday morning he complained of pain in the chest. He had never shown any sighs of insanity. Deceased had never said anything to him about going to the front. He was satisfied that deceased had died from drowning. He did not think it necessary to have a nurse in attendance on the patients all the time.
The jury found that the deceased committed suicide, but that there was not sufficient evidence to show the state of his mind at the time.
THE FUNERAL
The funeral of Pte. A. Green, whose untimely end under such distressing circumstances has evoked universal sympathy, took place on Monday afternoon at Gill Cemetery, and was attended by several of deceased's ward-mates from the Skipton Military Hospital. A short service was conducted at the house by the. Rev. A. Bradfield (Wesleyan Minister), who also officiated at the cemetery. Among the numerous floral tributes were wreaths from the matron and the staff of the Hospital and Messrs. Brigs Bros. (printers), deceased's former employers.

GREEN, Company Sergeant Major Fred, D.C.M., aged 30 years, Duke of Wellington's Regiment, eldest son of Mr. John Green, Bolland Street, [Barnoldswick], killed in action in France, July 7, 1916.

 

Article Date: 26 November 1915
BARNOLDSWICK N.C.O.'s PROMOTION
Two other well-known Barlickers who have been visiting the town this week are Company Sergt.-Major Fred Green and Sergt. Frank Watson (Swedish drill instructor), both belonging to the 9th Duke of Wellington's, who went out to France at the beginning of July. The former, whose home is at 18, Bolland Street, was promoted on the field about two months ago, his predecessor being killed by a bullet in the neighbourhood of Ypres. Sergt. Watson speaks confidently of the British position in that hotly contested region, where our troops have gradually gained the upper hand. They have the measure of the enemy, he says, and can now reply with five shells to one. Still there is need for more men to man the trenches, which have latterly become so foul that it is well nigh impossible for the men to occupy them for more than 48 hours at a stretch. Even under this reduced period the number of men who suffer from 'trench foot' (a complaint akin to frost bite) is daily becoming larger on account of the severe weather conditions.
A MUSICAL INTERLUDE
Referring to his bosom friend Pte. Gilbert Snowdon (another Barlicker in the same regiment, now a bomb thrower), Sergt. Watson related an amusing incident. A few weeks ago Snowdon, who at the time of enlistment was a player in the Barnoldswick Brass Band, wrote to a friend at home requesting an old cornet to be sent out to him, with which to relieve the tedium of trench warfare. The instrument was duly forwarded and has answered the purpose admirably. One day he entertained his comrades with a number of patriotic and sentimental selections, including 'Home, Sweet Home', observing that the latter 'touched' his comrades in a tender spot, the soloist suddenly changed the tune to 'Has anybody seen a German Band?' The effect was almost instantaneous, for before he had got through the first verse there was a regular fusillade from the enemy trenches a short distance away, and a general stampede to cover on the part of Gilbert and his audience

A GERMAN TRENCH RUSE
Pte. John Wade, another Barnoldswick man in the 9th Duke's, who has been at home (Bethel Street) this week, said the Battalion were kept in reserve five days before the attack at Loos ready to march at a minute's notice. When they did move forward it was found that they could not arrive in time. The Germans in the first line trenches have their rifles fixed on tripods, each rifle being fitted with a periscopic sight that reduces the distance to about one tenth of the actual. "That is one reason," he said " why so many of our men have been hit in the head." One night our Scouts crept up to a first-line enemy trench and found it practically destroyed with the exception of one man to every 100 yards or so, who walked backward and forward pulling a trigger here and there as he passed in order to keep up the deception that the trench was fully manned. The bulk of their men were resting in dug-outs meanwhile. Pte. Wade is not impressed with the scenery of Belgium, though he admits that the cities - those that remain - are beautiful. As he came through ruined Ypres on his way home the Germans started shelling it on three sides, and another shell dropped on the station at Poperinge just as the train was leaving

ANOTHER BARNOLDSWICK D.C.M.
According to a letter received a few days ago by Mr. Sam Green, Moorside Farm, Barnoldswick from his brother in France, Company-Sergt.-Major Fred Green, of the 9th Battalion Duke of Wellington's Regiment, has been awarded the D.C.M. He is a son of Mr. John Green, 13, Bolland Street, Barnoldswick, and has been at the Front since August last, but was home on leave shortly after Christmas. He is 30 years of age. The letter, which contains no details of the services for which the distinction has been awarded, runs as follows:-
"Thanks very much for the nice parcel which I have just opened, I have just come down from the trenches to our billet. I have been up to look round before taking the company up tonight. They seem very fair trenches and much quieter than those we have been used to. Probably we shall liven them up a bit when we get there. Our general doesn't believe in letting them rest too much. Well, I have got the D.C.M. all right, and am wearing the ribbon; but I expect to wait some time before I get the medal - most likely when some big General comes around when we are out for a rest. The weather is mending up beautifully and it is quite like summertime. I can see big things coming off round here before very long, and then we shall be over the top again and on our way to Germany.
"... (censored) is a very big place and in some parts not much damaged by shellfire. Many of the residents are still here and there are some big shops open where we can buy anything - but they often forget to make us pay. Well, that's about all this time. Remember me to all at Moorside and don't forget to tell Jack I shall be home again before long."

BARNOLDSWICK'S THIRD D.C.M.
The accompanying portrait is of Company Sergeant Major Fred Green, 9th Battalion Duke of Wellington's Regiment, who, as announced last week, has been awarded the D.C.M. for conspicuous gallantry and ability.
"During operations (the official record states) he rendered great assistance to his company officers, and by his courage and example kept the men in good spirits."

Company Sergeant Major Green, who had been previously mentioned in despatches, is the third Barnoldswick man in the British Expeditionary Force upon whom the medal has been bestowed.

Article Date: 30 June 1916
BARNOLDSWICK'S FOURTH D.C.M.
Another Barnoldswick soldier, Sergeant James Bury, of the 1/6th Duke of Wellington's Regiment (grenade company), has been awarded the D.C.M. (for conspicuous gallantry). Sergt. Bury is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bury, 6, East Parade, Barnoldswick. He went out to France in April 1915 with the rank of Corporal. The official announcement of the exploit, which earned him the coveted distinction, reads as follows:- "For conspicuous gallantry. When the enemy bombed a post of which he was in charge, causing some casualties, he stuck to the post and bombed the enemy back single-handed. This is not the first occasion on which he has shown great courage."
In a letter to his parents a few days ago Sergt. Bury writes:- "I have left the convalescent depot and am now at the base. You will no doubt know that I have got the D.C.M. There are a lot of the boys here - Dave Russell, and lots of my old bombers. I can see us having some fun when we get back up the line. I went in front of 'Bones' this morning and he is doping me with iron tonic or something like that, but I am marked 'active' and there isn't anything wrong with me. I have seen a lot of Barnoldswickers and they are all in the pink. I am going down the town if I get a chance before I renew my acquaintance with Fritz."

 

 

 

Sergt. Bury was, prior to the outbreak of war, a prominent member of the Barnoldswick Football Club, and worked as a weaver at Messrs. Dugdale and Dewhurst's Wellhouse Mill. One of his brothers is in the Coldstream Guards.
The previous holders of the Distinguished Conduct Medal are: Pte. Fred Bracewell, Sergt. P. B. Garratt and Quarter-Master Sergeant J. [F.] Green.

A BARNOLDSWICK D.C.M. AMONGST THE KILLED
Mr. John Green, 13, Bolland Street, Barnoldswick, yesterday received official information of the death of his eldest son, Company-Sergeant Major Fred Green, D.C.M., 9th Battalion Duke of Wellington's Regiment ('C' Company), who was killed in action in France on the 7th inst. The news confirms that received from two Barnoldswick comrades, who wrote home a week ago. Sergeant-Major Green was 30 years of age.
Article Date: 20 October 1916
BARNOLDSWICK'S FIFTH D.C.M.
News is to hand that Pte. John Edward Pickup, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Pickup, Cherrydene, Barnoldswick, has been awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. Pte. Pickup, who is 23 years of age, went out with the Duke of Wellington's in April 1915 as a stretcher-bearer, and is the third Barnoldswick stretcher-bearer to earn that distinction, the others being Sergeant P.H. Garratt and Pte. Fred Bracewell. Two other Barlickers in the same regiment who were awarded the D.C.M. were Co.-Sergt.-Major Green (since killed) and Sergeant James Bury.
In a letter acquainting his parents of the fact, Pte. Pickup says:- "I have just been presented with the D.C.M. ribbon, and I shall be receiving the medal very likely before long."

Before joining the Army he worked as a weaver at Messrs. Albert Hartley and Co.'s, Long Ing.

Article Date: 28 July 1916
THE LATE COMPANY-SERGEANT-MAJOR GREEN
The following letter (received too late for publication last week) from a Barnoldswick comrade in the 9th Battalion Duke of Wellington's Regiment, tells how Company-Sergeant-Major Fred Green, who was awarded the D.C.M. met his death. The writer is Lance-Corporal Frank Edmondson:- "I have just had time to write. I have once more come out of the battle without a scratch. I dare say you will have read all about the great offensive in which we were engaged. I have been very lucky. Sam Woodhead was wounded next to me, and three killed. Fred Green was wounded, he got killed by a shell while bringing him (Woodhead) down to the dressing station. W. Dacre and W. Boocock were also wounded, and a lad named Leach (all from Barnoldswick) was killed."
Happily the information in regard to Leach turned out incorrect, for though Sergt. Wm. Leach was officially reported killed, his wife, who resides at 7 Stewart Street, had received a letter from him a day or two previously saying he was at a casualty clearing station, having been struck on the head by a piece of shrapnel. Luckily it did not penetrate the bone.

"I am going on splendidly and very soon hope to see you in England."
Sergt. Leach joined the army soon after the outbreak of hostilities. He was a playing member of the Barnoldswick Football Club.

Miscellaneous information
9th (Service) Bn. Duke of Wellington's (West Riding Regiment)

Fred Green was killed in action at Contalmaison, 7th July 1916.

Here are the individuals who have been found so far down at Ghyll. They are on my list if they are included on a headstone even if not actually buried at Ghyll. Some of these entries are obvious as the family memorial records the details others don't. All CWG burials are actual and all found as far as I am aware.

I have sorted the lists in alphabetical order by surname, for easier reference.

The table is the best I can do in the quick reply box.
