Fusilier Wilson was a member of one of the most unfortunate battalions in World War II – the 9th Battalion Royal Northumberland Fusiliers. The Battalion was formed in 1939 with HQ at Alnwick, Northumberland and went to France in April 1940 but escaped back to England from Dunkerque in May 1940. On 24 October 1941 they sailed on the Warwick Castle, stopping at Trinidad and Madras and arrived in Singapore on 5 February 1941. For eleven days they fought the Japanese suffering bombing, shelling and machine gun fire and were gradually pushed back from the Causeway to Nee Soon and finally Swiss Cottage Estate. At 1600hrs on 16 February, to their dismay, they were ordered to line up along the Bukit Timah Road and surrender. On 7 November the Battalion was transported by train to Thailand to work on’Railway of Death’. After four and half years subjected to disgraceful starvation and cruelty the survivors were liberated and arrived back in Liverpool on 23 October 1945 where the Battalion was disbanded.

Offered is a general Service Medal (1918 – 62) with 2 clasps IRAQ, N. PERSIA, impressed named 33157 PTE: O. Comes with copies medal roll & medal index cards. Private McDonell served with the Royal Irish Fusiliers post WW1 and his records will still be held at the Ministry of Defence. He is on the medal roll for clasps Iraq (10/12/19 13/6/20) & NW Persia (10/8 31/12 20) and it is highly probable that he only just missed out on WW1 active service. In 1921 the Army re numbered every soldier with a 7 digit number, Pte McDonell being given 7041379. The threat of Arab nationalism, a resurgent Bolshevik Russia and the international power struggle for control of oil production meant that the British government found it necessary to send troops to areas of vital national interest in the Middle East. The nationalist Arabs had limited arms, mostly acquired during the First World War after the defeat of the Turks. They were now using these against the British and so the 1st Battalion The Royal Irish Fusiliers was nominated to carry out a difficult and thankless internal security task in Mesopotamia (now Iraq). The first stage of the Faugh’s journey ended at the head of the Persian (Arabian) Gulf, where they transferred to a river boat and proceeded up the River Tigris. Changing to rail and road for another 400 miles, they eventually came to ancient Kasvin, capital of the Persian Empire under the Safavids from 15481598, where they found that their barracks were nothing more than a collection of monotonous mud huts. This experience was despite assurances given to Parliament in London on 23 July 1919 by Henry Foster, Financial Secretary to the War Office who, in response to being asked. What arrangements are made for the well-being of the troops stationed at Kasvin, Persia; and whether he is aware that complaints are being made that the food is insufficient, that the postal service is most irregular, and that the general conditions are very bad there? Replied : No previous complaints have reached the War Office regarding the conditions at Kasvin. It is stated by an officer who passed through there in April that the troops were well hutted and that there was no shortage of food. The climatic conditions are much better than in Mesopotamia. As regards the postal arrangements, I understand that there was previously some delay in the case of mails which were sent viâ Mesopotamia, but arrangements have since been made for a new service from Constantinople. Wednesday, 1 September, 1920. Lieutenant Colonel Dobbs and his battalion set out on 1 September from Khanikin, north east of Baghdad, for Mirfana which was 20 miles away. They expected trouble at two passes, Fasilah and Qizil. Lying on a high ridge in the Fasilah Pass, the enemy were waiting and opened fire on C Company. The enemy advanced over exposed ground down a forward slope where they were struck by the machine guns and artillery of the supporting column. The enemy was driven from the pass and the Faughs suffered only two casualties, one of whom, Lieutenant H V Gough, was severely wounded. Between 9/11/19 – 21/3/1921 the Battalion suffered 8 Killed.

He commanded with courage and initiative a mixed force, and was instrumental in beating off four determined attacks by the enemy. London Gazette 11 October 1916. Croix de Guerre London Gazette 7 January 1919. Arthur Parr was born in 1890 at North Shields, the son of Henry G. Parr, a sail maker of. Attesting for the 1/6th Territorial Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers, Parr served in France from 20 April 1915, his battalion being almost immediately sent in to action during the 2nd battle of. Present at the battle of St Julien on the 26th of that month, the 6th battalion hard a horrendous baptism of fire, loosing almost half its men during the capture of enemy trenches and subsequent retreat to their own lines. Private Parr was one of the wounded, suffering a gunshot wound to the head. The Shields Daily News. 01 May 1915, a newspaper that wrote several articles on Parr during the War, noted that he was wounded whilst getting into one of the trenches and originally thought hed been hit on the head by the butt of one of his comrades rifles. The War Diary for the 6th battalion is particularly good as at the ends of each month, it details all casualties by name, number, rank and casualty date. It records that private. Parr was wounded a second time whilst in the trenches in the vicinity of Hooge, 17 June 1915; and was wounded yet again on 29 January 1916, two days after relieving the 1st Gordon Highlanders trenches in the vicinity of Hill 60. Awarded the Military Medal for gallantry, several months later, during one of the battles of the Somme Offensive, the. Shields Daily News 16 October 1917, again shed more light on his service as well as the reason for his award. It tells how Parr, now a Sergeant, had up until this point, been wounded three times, had taken part in the battles of St Julien, Hooge, St Eloi, the Somme and. Awarded for getting messages through to the front line trench during a barrage when all wires were broken. Given the date of his award of the DCM and even more so the citation, it is very likely the award was for his actions during the battle of the Aisne, specifically, the 27th May 1918, when the Germans put down a very heavy barrage of mixed high explosive and gas shells onto the Northumberlands positions, causing heavy casualties. This was followed this up with an attack along the whole line. As described in Parrs citation, the intensity of the assault caused the battalions to become mixed up during this part of the battle. The 6th Northumberlands held the line of redoubts, roughly 500 yards behind the battle line. The four redoubts, Bastion de Rotterdam, Centre de Quimper, Poste de Blois and Centre Marceau, were held by two companies of the battalion, four machine guns and two heavy trench mortars in emplacements that could fire over the battle line. The remaining companies were in reserve in trenches and dug outs next to Colonel Temperley’s battalion headquarters at P. Like the positions of other frontline battalions the trenches and underground shelters of the 6th Northumberlands were also pulverised by the German preliminary bombardment. By 5am the battle line had been broken on the front of the 149th Brigade, and German stormtroop units and tanks were already advancing on Centre Marceau, which was now held by mixed units of the 4th and 6th battalions. By 5.30 Colonel Temperley had ordered a counter attack with his reserve company, which managed to push the enemy out of Bastion de Rotterdam, but. Nevertheless, the advanced units of the German infantry managed to work themselves around the redoubts which were to be taken from the rear. A large number of men from the 6th Northumberlands were taken prisoner, especially officers some 17 in all including Colonel Temperley. The 1/6th recorded to loss of 8 men killed, 71 wounded and 541 missing in May 1918, almost all the casualties suffered on the 27th. In officers alone, 27 were casualties and from a strength of 34 Officers and 947 Men on 1st May 1918, by the 31st, they numbered just 12 Officers and 323 men!
