Military roles during World War 1, represented here
ON LAND
Private: A soldier of the lowest military rank
Gunner: Equivalent to the rank of private. Operating the heavy artillery pieces, they
were integral to the First World War from firing devastating bombardments to cutting
wire and countering enemy batteries
Trooper: Equivalent to the rank of private in a regiment with a cavalry tradition.
Lance Corporal: Below the rank of corporal – typically the lowest non-commissioned
officer. The lance corporal was a team leader (4-5 men).
Lance Bombardier: Equivalent to Lance Corporal in some branches of the army
Corporal: Leader of a squad (consisting of 2 teams)
Lance Sergeant: A corporal acting in the rank of a sergeant. They could be demoted
by their commanding officer, unlike a full sergeant who could only be demoted by
court martial
Sergeant: The sergeant was in command of a platoon of about 30 men.
Company Sergeant: Towards the end of the war a number of sergeants had to
command entire companies. Companies consisted of 80-250 soldiers (three – six
platoons) and were usually commanded by a captain or a major
Second Lieutenants: Second Lieutenants also in command of the platoon led their
men on assaults. Because they were first ‘over the top’ they had a very high casualty
rate.
Captains and Lieutenants: A Captain or a Lieutenant usually filled the role of Adjutant
(in charge of battalion administration). They also undertook the duties of
Quartermaster (responsible for stores and transport).
Riflemen: The rifleman class was the base of each and team and the back-bone of any
assault. Their movements could be a little slowed down because of their heavy rifles.
AT SEA
Able Seaman: A seaman with at least two years experience at sea
Master (mercantile marine): Equivalent to captain

This booklet contains the names, details where known and supporting documents of the
World War One fallen listed on the St. Bartholomew’ s Memorial. They are produced in
the order of the dates on which they died.
The names of those commemorated here begin on PAGE 4
There are a number of names for which we have no details. We do not now know
who they were, where, or when they died, or their connection to St. Bartholomew’s.
We would love to hear from anyone who can shed light on these poor men. Their
names are found at the end of the list on PAGE 6.
Details entries begin on PAGE 7:
The information here has been taken from lists held by Richard Travell, Kent Archeology,
and from documents held by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as follows:
Grave Registration Reports: Standard forms which detail graves for which the
Commission is responsible within a particular burial ground. They provide basic details of
the individuals, such as name, service number, rank, regiment, unit and date of death, and
are listed in Plot, Row and Grave order.
Registers: Produced by the Commission on a cemetery-by-cemetery or memorial-bymemorial basis, and eventually ran to 1,500 volumes. They contain an entry for each
individual, with details of their rank, regiment, unit and date of death. Many of the entries
also include additional information such as next of kin details
Burial Returns: Recorded details of individuals who were originally buried in smaller or
isolated cemeteries, but who, at a later date, were exhumed and reburied in war
cemeteries. The concentration of cemeteries allowed otherwise unmaintainable graves to
be moved into established war grave cemeteries where the Commission could ensure
proper commemoration.
Headstone Schedules: These documents provide details of what was actually inscribed
on an individual’s headstone. Their main purpose was to help manage the enormous
programme of headstone production and engraving the Commission embarked on in the
immediate aftermath of the First World War.
Panel Lists: Lists of individuals commemorated on memorials or screen walls and reflect
the details and layout inscribed on the panels. Individuals are commemorated in this way
when their loss has been officially declared by their relevant service but there is no known
burial for the individual, or in circumstances where graves cannot be individually marked,
or where the grave site has become inaccessible and unmaintainable. -

Obituary in the Bedfordshire
Times and Independent: “We
regret to announce the death
of Pte. B Ashpole, of the 7th
Beds. Regiment, son of Mr and
Mrs Arthur Ashpole, of West End Kempston, which took place in France on January 19th.
The Captain of his company, writing to his parents says: “The Germans had exploded a
mine that evening about 5pm, and followed this with a heavy bombardment of our line.
Your son apparently entered the mouth of a mine shaft to take shelter and encountered a
rush of gas which overcame him, and he was unable to get out. Two NCOs in his platoon
pluckily entered the shaft in spire of the gas, and with some considerable difficulty
succeeded in getting him out, but it was unfortunately too late. His loss will be much felt
in the Company, where he was exceedingly popular, and you have our sincere sympathy
in the sad circumstances.” Sgt H Hassall, also of the 7th Beds, writes “It was with deep
regret I heard of the death of your son. He was a very goo clad all through his career in
the Army. I always found him to be a willing worker no matter what was required of him,
and also as clean as soldier as anyone could wish. Only half an hour before the mine
exploded I was talking to him about Bedford, as I come from the town myself; also
Kempston in a way is connected with me, as a sister of mine is in the Schools there.”
The two NCOs were Lance Corporal A Blanchard and Corporal J Ivory who were both
award the Distinguished Conduct Medal for the rescue.
