WW1 East Kent Regt, The Buffs Set Of 3 Brothers Medals & Death Plaques Sharp

WW1 East Kent Regt. The Buffs Set Of 3 Brothers Medals & Death Plaques – Sharp. The Sharp family were from 4, Sole St. Crundale, Near Canterbury, Kent. Stephen and Sarah Elizabeth Sharp had a number of children, and this set includes a copy of both the 1891, 1901 and 1911 Census Records and medal records. They sadly lost 2 sons in action in 1916, and this set includes medals, death plaques for 3 of their sons, and one photo memorial card of Frederick. It is mounted and inset on board with a green felt background. Albert James Sharp – G/219 East Kent Regt. 6th Battalion, The Buffs and was sadly killed in action on 6/3/16. Albert is remembered with honour at the Loos Memorial. Set includes his Victory Medal and Death Plaque. He was awarded a trio but the other medals are not included. George Sharp – G/6442 & L/11620 East Kent Regt. The Buffs and thankfully he survived the war. Set includes his full entitlement of his trio of medals. Frederick Thomas Sharp – K. 9940 Leading Stoker, Royal Navy served on HMS Garry, and sadly was killed in action on 22/8/16. Set includes his Star, War Medal, photo on memorial card and Death Plaque. Unfortunately the Victory Medal is not included & the photo is on the front of the memorial card of which the back is missing. He is buried at Crundale St. Mary Churchyard in Kent. The set also includes 2 Jutland Memorial Discs, 1 fob with approx diameter 22mm and a larger one 45mm as per photos. These both are commemorating those who fell at the battle. These were included when I bought this family set, and dont relate to these 3 brothers. As per census records they may possibly relate to the other brothers of this same family who also served, or extended family? I dont know it requires research, but as they were included it seemed right for them to stay together, as the family had kept them together. Please note some of the records have mis-spelt the surname incorrectly eg CWGC so Sharpe in error when should be Sharp. Please refer to photos for overall condition, & any questions just ask. I will be listing more items over the next few days, please come back & take a look. Please feel free to ask any questions, condition is as per photos. If you require any additional photos or info please just ask. The item “WW1 East Kent Regt, The Buffs Set Of 3 Brothers Medals & Death Plaques Sharp” is in sale since Friday, July 3, 2020.

HE IS REMEMBERED IN THE LANDRECIES BRITISH CEMETERY FRANCE AND ON HIS HOME TOWN MEMORIAL IN SCARBOROUGH YORKS. COMES WITH RESEARCH AND AN ORIGINAL POST CARD OF THE PERIOD OF SCARBOROUGH WAR MEMORIAL. PLEASE SSE BELOW FOR THE DETAILS OF THE ACTION IN WHICH HE WAS KILLED. The following is a summary from the Historical Records of the Buffs, East Kent Regiment, 1914-19, by R. 20th Oct- Whole Bn. The battle-surplus and a draft of 80 men were called upon and sent up to the front to meet them. 21st Oct- Marched to St Souplet. 23rd Oct- 71st Bde. Were In action again… And the Buffs moved up in support at very short notice. Bivouacked round Baziel, and on 25th took over the line in Bois L’Enveque from the K. 3 men killed and 15 wounded on this date. 30th Oct- Last day of actual fighting that fell to the lot of the 1st Bn. , in the Great War. Orders were received that the division was to be relieved. But before this could be done, a satisfactory position for the continuance of the forward movement “on the line of the canal”, had to be established by capturing an important farm and spur on the line of the waterway. This attack was lead by Lieut. Of the Buffs, with B and C coys. At his disposal, and later on a platoon of D, a MG section and 2 light mortars. Zero hour was at six, when there was a creeping barrage. The attack was made “on a platoon frontage”, with other platoons on either flank to protect the advance. The attempt on farm was at first hindered by the British barrage falling too short and causing casualties in the first platoon. When it lifted another platoon was brought up, but was held up by MG fire. It was not till 10 o’clock that the farm, and another behind it was taken. A separate small body of men had meanwhile advanced on the high ground and captured some MGs. The enemy then bombarded the farm with medium and light trench mortars and field artillery after which a counter-attack by the enemy meant Barber’s men had to withdraw. However, two sections of Lewis Gunners and some riflemen succeeded in preventing the enemy getting past the buildings. The last reserves were now brought up, and the line reorganised and reinforced by a platoon of D company. Under a “well-directed” bombardment by light trench mortars the farm was once again attacked and taken at the point of the bayonet. By the evening, the village of Happegarbes was “practically” cleared. Hart, Herrman and Simpson and 27 men wounded, 8 killed and 4 missing. And so the last fight of the 1st battalion ended in congratulations, the divisional commander expressing his great appreciation.
