Historic Records: Men of 1914

For some while now I have been building a collection of British Army soldiers who arrived overseas in 1914. The 'collection', which is incomplete, is comprised of single medals, medal groups, postcards, photos, autograph album entries, letters, and interviews with surviving veterans. In short, anything tangible, that connects a man to an arrival date overseas in 1914.  Great Britain went to war with Germany on the 4th August 1914 and within days, men of the British Expeditionary Force were arriving overseas, even though the first shot fired by the British Army would not occur until the 22nd August. Ascertaining when a man arrived overseas is easy enough, as the date appears on medal index cards. At the time of writing this post - 8th April 2025 - I have a connection for the majority of dates in 1914. The earliest date I have is the 6th August 1914 when Frederick Thomas Gris disembarked with the 6th Dragoon Guards -  I have his medals and those of his father too - whilst the la...

54571 Gnr Edward William Brown OR Milward, IV Bde, RFA

Arrived Overseas: 14 October 1914. Connection: Victory Medal. Years ago I swore I'd never buy a single medal that had been disunited from its group. But I was young[er] and foolish then, and have since bought hundreds of single medals, and even re-united a couple. For those starting out on their medal collecting hobby, and even for grizzled old hoarders like me, the Victory Medal from the 1914-1918 War can offer hours of researching pleasure for a very modest investment and, besides which, like all British designed medals - and perhaps some from other countries too - it's an object of aesthetic beauty. This particular Victory Medal, which cost me £28 in March 2022, was once owned and earned by 54571 Gunner Edward Brown of the Royal Field Artillery. He'd joined the regiment on the 20th January 1909 under his real name of Milward, deserted in 1910, and then almost immediately re-joined under the alias of Brown. He served overseas with IV Bde RFA in the 7th (Meerut) Division f...

10941 Pte Charles Older, 1st Coldstream Guards

Arrived overseas: 26 November 1914 Connection: British War Medal I picked up Charles Older's BMW from the London Medal Company in November 2023. Charles was born in Bersted, near Bognor, Sussex on the 10th September 1893 and by the time the 1901 census was taken he and his older brother William were living at the home of Thomas and Susan Stent in Arundel, their relationship to the head of house recorded as "Boarder". The 1911 census records Charles at the same address, now aged 17 and working as a grocer's assistant. Seven days after Britain went to war with German on the 4th August 1914, Charles attested with the Coldstream Guards at Worthing, and by the 26th November 1914 he was in France as part of a draft for the 1st Battalion which had been overseas since August. Charles received a gunshot wound to his right arm and hand and was returned to the UK as a wounded soldier. He subsequently transferred to the Labour Corps, served overseas again between January and Sept...
