The full details of the individuals in the photo are not known but the Regimental Sergeant Major seated centre is WO1 RSM James Crinyion. Crinyion was the son of a Fishmonger from Birkenhead and had a twin brother served in the Royal West Kent's (SSgt). Crinyion served as RSM of both the Denbighshire Hussars Yeomanry (DHY) and also when the Regiment was subsumed into the RWF as the 24th Battalion on 1st March 1917. Crinyion was later commissioned and went onto serve with the 15th Hussars post war. </div><div><br /></div><div>There is much information in the photo. Firstly the RSM is wearing his DHY cap badge which he was not officially authorised to do! When yeomanry regiments were </div><div>re-designated into infantry battalions the officers were allowed to retain their yeomanry regiment’s collar badges only. The remainder of the regiment wore the badges of their new Regiment. This is clearly Crinyion’s stamp of character on his position. </div><div>Those men with their right forearm visible are showing four overseas service chevrons which denote four years service outside of Great Britain. This puts the year that the </div><div>photograph was taken as 1918. 24 RWF were moved along with the rest of the 74th (Yeomanry) Division from Palestine to the western front in France on 24th April 1918. The German spring offensives had left the British Army dangerously short of manpower on the western front leading to several divisions being transferred from General Alenby’s force in Palestine to France. Examining the background, the terrain looks arid and the troops on the high ground to the rear look like they could be Indian troops. This therefore may suggest that the photograph was taken in Palestine in the early part of 1918.</div><div><br /></div><div>All the SNCOs are wearing a battalion shoulder flash for recognition purposes. This </div><div>appears to be a diamond with a white stripe down the middle. Whilst there are examples of a similar flash for the 5th/6th RWF in the Regimental museum archive we do not </div><div>possess an example of the 24th Battalions shoulder flash. </div><div><br /></div><div>Also note that the RSM and the Company Sergeant Major to his right are wearing </div><div>Jodhpurs. This is possibly another reference to their previous service at a yeomanry </div><div>regiment.</div><p></p><p></p>RWF Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05925022230696593144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719487048934801212.post-49671523166235534992022-12-05T02:37:00.002-08:002022-12-05T02:37:28.144-08:00Arthur Askey<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidMkDny3C-MJXTBtwaLKYlLhPVAU8RVFZM78TL-z2IwTBV1WYOUG39j7nHHQlIllMRKnns48Vbg4UhtRNmVd3h8w9nT_CtjckKztXlhUfbYNX_F7RlfhHKwD-hdro_tNELXA0msIshwWxyLa324s8pq-oIvUmoLB4BCEtB6KRY98XJz52fibAHxgc-ew/s500/arthur%20askey%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="500" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidMkDny3C-MJXTBtwaLKYlLhPVAU8RVFZM78TL-z2IwTBV1WYOUG39j7nHHQlIllMRKnns48Vbg4UhtRNmVd3h8w9nT_CtjckKztXlhUfbYNX_F7RlfhHKwD-hdro_tNELXA0msIshwWxyLa324s8pq-oIvUmoLB4BCEtB6KRY98XJz52fibAHxgc-ew/w400-h200/arthur%20askey%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ0ezriFTPkkN_aRQv4BvJz_26CoIYqiJgOsfq8RC4JG2tk_QAicTi6JIidpSGB4FNuaws0UMnEBdBScjpcrXufy-INoBwQ11rvDLxRewVEXReGZfCX2J6RUjGdTVoIVqscJeOpbmkO56wZjbOL3MEySkJeWni1l_LN2pOZ4G9tmwK7n9Z3SKPmvCScQ/s314/arthur%20askey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="314" data-original-width="205" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ0ezriFTPkkN_aRQv4BvJz_26CoIYqiJgOsfq8RC4JG2tk_QAicTi6JIidpSGB4FNuaws0UMnEBdBScjpcrXufy-INoBwQ11rvDLxRewVEXReGZfCX2J6RUjGdTVoIVqscJeOpbmkO56wZjbOL3MEySkJeWni1l_LN2pOZ4G9tmwK7n9Z3SKPmvCScQ/w418-h640/arthur%20askey.jpg" width="418" /></a></div><br /> <a class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz _aa9_ _a6hd" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/eyahumour/" role="link" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; touch-action: manipulation;" tabindex="0">#eyahumour</a> <a class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x6umtig x1b1mbwd xaqea5y xav7gou x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz notranslate _a6hd" href="https://www.instagram.com/explorearchives/" role="link" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; touch-action: manipulation;" tabindex="0">@explorearchives</a><p></p><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Arthur Askey CBE - British Stage, Radio and Film Comic.

@explorearchives Robert Shields VC was a Welsh recipient of the Victoria Cross.
He was born in Cardiff, Wales, in 1827 and died in Bombay, India, in 1864. On
the morning of 8 September 1856, during the Crimean War, Corporal Robert
Shields volunteered to go along with Assistant Surgeon William Henry Thomas
Sylvester in order to rescue an injured officer who had been incapacitated by a
shot not far from their position outside the city of Sevastopol’s walls during
the siege of the city.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">The wounded
officer was one Lieutenant Dyneley, the Adjutant of Shields’ own unit in the
Royal Welch Fusiliers regiment. He had been shot and wounded near the Redan, a
fort built close to Sevastopol, at this time it had been hastily occupied by
more than a dozen Russian soldiers. It was an extremely dangerous and foolhardy
thing to venture anywhere close to the Redan, as they would be well within
range of all manner of enemy guns. Nevertheless, Sylvester and Shields decided
to attempt to save the wounded man.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Together, they
reached the lieutenant; however, they quickly noticed that his wounds were far
more serious than they had anticipated. Sylvester dressed Dyneley's wounds as
well as he was able while under heavy fire from the Redan and returned to the
cover of their trenches, bringing with them the injured man. Dyneley later died
from his wounds.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">For their
bravery, both men were awarded the Victoria Cross, subsequently going on
parade for the first presentation of the new medal. Sixty other men were present
at Hyde Park on 26 June 1857. The recipients were made up of both the army and
the navy, and they were presented with the award by Queen Victoria herself.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

The staircases are still in excellent working order today!</p>RWF Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05925022230696593144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719487048934801212.post-48935442503623012012022-05-30T06:50:00.001-07:002022-05-30T06:50:14.301-07:00From a hard place to a rock<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj705PHVQV7jeKRIE5nwOsS4VtxYGMqbsbedPg-V08o9ZVqJO8otVn8nkTJfTBUHJil9zrQzoRXUSsdKeHg7DQuIbtMZ_cvRliB4UoE39kaXv5nRQZhVIpYPzosOk8oKbcFpuJ2dTpD2_zxXC-3kpw790U104cVp8irVN34iBlBM3PT7F6Tvnanp0mECQ/s2835/From%20a%20Hard%20Place%20-%20Front%20Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2835" data-original-width="1902" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj705PHVQV7jeKRIE5nwOsS4VtxYGMqbsbedPg-V08o9ZVqJO8otVn8nkTJfTBUHJil9zrQzoRXUSsdKeHg7DQuIbtMZ_cvRliB4UoE39kaXv5nRQZhVIpYPzosOk8oKbcFpuJ2dTpD2_zxXC-3kpw790U104cVp8irVN34iBlBM3PT7F6Tvnanp0mECQ/w430-h640/From%20a%20Hard%20Place%20-%20Front%20Cover.jpg" width="430" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_GoBack"></a><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">FROM

Johnson DSO OBE MC, RWF has been described variously as a formidable soldier
and a legend. Commissioned in the RWF in 1930, retiring in 1961, his service
took him to many parts of the world. He now features in a book written by one
of his nieces.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">At the outbreak
of war in September 1939 Johnson was with 1st Battalion which embarked for
France with the BEF. When the battalion was tasked to delay the Germans at St
Venant, B Company, under the command of Johnson, was ordered to outflank the
Germans at Robecq. After bitter fighting B Company found themselves surrounded.
Johnson was badly wounded by a sniper and the following day he and B Company
were captured. Sent to a German controlled hospital for treatment, Johnson
managed to escape at the earliest opportunity in the company of a Royal
Artillery officer Captain 'Tommy' Trythall.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Jimmy's cousin,
Captain Chris Waters 1st Field Squadron Royal Engineers had arrived in France
on 17 May with 1st Armoured Division. The Squadron was soon attached to the
51st Highland Division which surrendered at St-Valéry on 12 June. After a week
of forced marching up and down the coast Waters had had enough. He and a fellow
office from his Squadron, 2/Lt Dennis Lennon, jumped through a hedge and lay
low until the column was well out of sight.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">This
fascinating tale; part memoir, part social and part military history, tells a
compelling story of war-time escapes from Occupied France. In addition to
meeting a cast of interesting people from helpful farmers to obstructive petty
officials and frustrated diplomatic staff, we learn of an outrageous attempt at
extortion back home in England. Waters and Lennon wrote a journal of their time
on the run, Johnson's story is largely told through letters sent home from
internment camp and a later tape recording. Both stories are supplemented by
first-hand accounts recorded by escapees they met en route. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">As the men
travel through France to Spain (where the two cousins were reunited) and on to
Gibraltar their journey becomes more and more hazardous. It is miraculous that
anyone completed a 'home run'.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Timandra has

Together with the Sovereign's Colour it was presented to 1st Royal Welch Fusiliers by Field-Marshall H.R.H. the Prince Consort in 1849. The Union flag and some of the battle honours are missing. After the ensign to the colour, J. H. Butle, was killed, the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Harry Chester, carried it himself. He too was killed. It was then carried by Sergeant Henry Smith. The colours would have been the focus of enemy fire. This was pierced by 16 cannon balls. The severely damaged colour continued to be used until 1880.</span><p></p>RWF Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05925022230696593144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719487048934801212.post-32751138004177641982022-04-13T14:22:00.000-07:002022-04-13T14:22:13.103-07:00Toughest regiment in age of horse and musket<p> <a href="https://militaryhistorynow.com/2021/08/23/the-royal-welch-fusiliers-meet-one-of-the-toughest-regiments-from-the-age-of-horse-and-musket/">https://militaryhistorynow.com/2021/08/23/the-royal-welch-fusiliers-meet-one-of-the-toughest-regiments-from-the-age-of-horse-and-musket/</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_34LYXaOdoVjnfJ8DRvPv-akV0qv7WwQINzS9BGh_Ls9SiRxVnz9Ctdgs2obu_7O6L0N_X7NwWSBz-DigSRtxM-iFmFbAPem5gqjadEatiI-tU98HxXlfiNrsCN0dIJAHwxNQB-043gwDcWDwNnfLd0Kkg7FbAeiSeE8GGgvWq1adASPw8CQGGdiO5Q/s600/0E8B0EEE-4DBB-47C9-925C-2E8469024466.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="600" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_34LYXaOdoVjnfJ8DRvPv-akV0qv7WwQINzS9BGh_Ls9SiRxVnz9Ctdgs2obu_7O6L0N_X7NwWSBz-DigSRtxM-iFmFbAPem5gqjadEatiI-tU98HxXlfiNrsCN0dIJAHwxNQB-043gwDcWDwNnfLd0Kkg7FbAeiSeE8GGgvWq1adASPw8CQGGdiO5Q/s320/0E8B0EEE-4DBB-47C9-925C-2E8469024466.webp" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>RWF Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05925022230696593144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719487048934801212.post-44989759165424950362022-03-23T08:31:00.003-07:002022-03-23T08:31:44.592-07:00The death of Major William Pitcairn CAMPBELL<p> 22nd March 1855 - ON THIS DAY IN ROYAL WELCH HISTORY</p><p>The death of Major William Pitcairn CAMPBELL</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4HzBCHkvYlg2gY60069EmfpjsLlJGyMO3IQ_rr8FbGajksWuyUi7ssTMyeqhdQBAZFaN2Q7Omxad57jXDlX9RNqyqA7UyWsmRncpMQziZY9iXkK6WwVibCuLbXZHythLnqiuporW_3DgRgeg-oikoGod00JWTZpdv7vk0s_XJAe0AZ2Ypaab3WQXRoQ/s960/35438FC5-4CD9-4633-A22D-EEDEDFDCCDA8.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="796" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4HzBCHkvYlg2gY60069EmfpjsLlJGyMO3IQ_rr8FbGajksWuyUi7ssTMyeqhdQBAZFaN2Q7Omxad57jXDlX9RNqyqA7UyWsmRncpMQziZY9iXkK6WwVibCuLbXZHythLnqiuporW_3DgRgeg-oikoGod00JWTZpdv7vk0s_XJAe0AZ2Ypaab3WQXRoQ/w331-h400/35438FC5-4CD9-4633-A22D-EEDEDFDCCDA8.jpeg" width="331" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Major William Campbell was severely wounded at the Battle of the Alma on 20 September 1854. He was evacuated to Scutari, turkey where he was further weakened by disease and passed away on 22 March 1855.</p><p><br /></p><p>Born in 1824 at 131 Dale St, Liverpool the youngest son of the Reverend Augustus Campbell, Rector of Liverpool, Vicar of Childwall Liverpool from 1824 to 1870.

At the battle of Alma he was slightly wounded in the head and later received a ball in the thigh which obliged him to go to the rear. Lord Raglan in his despatch of 11 November 1854 (LG 2 December 1854) relating to officers who had distinguished themselves at Inkerman took the opportunity to correct his omission to mention Captain W. Pitcairn Campbell in his despatch of 28 September. He reported that Captain Campbell ‘became the Senior Officer of the 23rd Regiment, when Lieutenant-Colonel Chester was killed, and, though severely wounded, could hardly be persuaded to quit the field’. </p><p><br /></p><p>Appointed to the staff at Scutari, Turkey, Major Campbell developed fever and, weakened by his wounds and ‘over-exertion in the discharge of his duties in the hospital as deputy assistant quartermaster-general’, he died, aged 31, on 22 March 1855. His grave in Haidar Pasha Cemetery, Istanbul, Turkey bears the inscription: </p><p><br /></p><p>Dedicated by his Brother Officers to the Memory of William Pitcairn Campbell aged 30, Major 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, wounded on the Alma. He was appointed a Staff Officer at Scutari, and died there of Fever, March 22nd, 1855.</p><p>A Christian Soldier, finding comfort in death from these assuring words of the Saviour, in whom he trusted: “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, ans I will give you rest.” – Matt. 11th ch., 28th v. </p><p><br /></p><p>Obituary</p><p><br /></p><p>Smith, Henry Stooks, The Military Obituary for 1855, Parker, Furnivall, and Parker, </p><p>London 1856, page 12</p><p>Hardwicke’s Annual Biography for 1856, page 140–1</p><p>The Annual Register for 1855, London 1856, page 263 The Gentleman’s Magazine, January–June 1855, page 657 </p><p><br /></p><p>Memorials</p><p>All Saints Church, Childwall, Liverpool.
