On 21st March 1918 Charles Waterhouse (age 27) was killed in action whilst serving with the 2nd/6th Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment.

The Battalion was in a line of posts running through the eastern outskirts of Bullecourt to the left of Horseshoe Redoubt. 'A' & 'B' in the front line, 'D' in support and 'C' in reserve in Railway Reserve Trench with Bn HQ. On the morning of 21st March a terrific bombardment was opened which became steadily more intense and the Battalion suffered heavy casualties. Through the mist came the first groups of the enemy, but 'C' in reserve could not advance to meet them because of the intensity of the barrage. 'A', 'B' and 'D' Companies were overwhelmed and 'C' Company was ordered to hold Railway Reserve Trench to the last, and under Capt Jordan made a stand. Battalion HQ was rushed and Lt Col Stuart Wortley (age 38) was killed. 'C' Company held on for as long as possible with the help of a few stragglers and wounded but was forced into Tank Trench where the enemy was found to be advancing in mass to the front but also up the trench in rear of the few survivors. "When this remnant had been obliterated by death or wounds, but not till then, the resistance of the Battalion ceased"

All About History Books

The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed."
