Souchez -  22nd to 30th This position was shelled every day at frequent intervals, the enemy had direct observation by balloon and the visibility was extremely good. On 24th we lost seven men wounded three subsequently dying. The following day three men were wounded enemy shelled position very heavily destroying quantities of shells, cartridges, gun stores and equipment,. It was then decided by H.Q. that this section should not do any firing except in case of emergency, detachments were therefore withdrawn to cover and kept clear of the guns unless ordered to shoot. The enemy continued to shell position each day but we had no more casualties.

I was sidetracked somewhat when I came across the nominal of the 5th Canadian Siege Battery from their 1917 embarkation and decided to include them in this latest addition. Unfortunately it turned out to be a larger task than I anticipated. The records available for each soldier is phenomenal! One easily gets lost in reading their history and trying to condense it into a single paragraph.  I've added the following 5th Siege names and will continue the files as I go.  (I still have 400+ names from the original addition). 
​Acorn, Gilbert Chester; Adams, Wilbert; Aitken, Leslie Poole; Bagnall, John Stanley; Beairsto, Everett Benjamin; Beairsto, Harry Lorne; Beer, Charles Albert; Bell, Joseph Jeremiah MM; Bell, Malcolm; Bell, Robert Irving; Blanchard, John Francis; Boisner, William Archibald; Bonnell, Daniel Alexander; Bonnell, John Sydney; Bourke, Charles Leslie; Bovyer, Elmer Robert; Boyce, Harry; Bruce, Arthur Gordon; Burns, John Harold; Byrnes, Andrew; Murphy, Alfred Edward
Sergeant Burns and Bombardier Bell were awarded the Military Medal.

Military Cross

4/23/2017

Comments

 
In researching our Regimental history I have come across another member of our perpetuated Batteries that was awarded the Military Cross. 
​Lieutenant Edward Alfred Burke Murphy, MC was a member of  the Prince Edward Island Heavy Brigade Canadian Garrison Artillery before enlisting as a Lieutenant with the the No. 5 Siege Battery Canadian Garrison Artillery on 1 Apr 1916. He was subsequently transferred to the 8th Siege Battery Canadian Garrison Artillery. His citation for the Military Cross reads:
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Although suffering from the effects of gas he fought a section of his guns when all the other Officers had become casualties. He declined to go to hospital when urged to do so, but continued to do duty, himself laying one of his guns, as the Battery had suffered such heavy casualties

One hundred years ago, on 22 April 1917
31st Battery, Canadian Field Artillery, Canadian Expeditionary Force was a sub-unit of the 8th Canadian Field Artillery Brigade in the 3rd Canadian Division. The Brigade war diary records:
Batteries doing very little shooting in daylight owing to exposed positions. A certain amount of night firing carried out by both 18-pdrs and 4.5 Hows.
 
58th Battery, Canadian Field Artillery, Canadian Expeditionary Force was a sub-unit of the 14th Canadian Field Artillery Brigade in the 5th Canadian Division. The Division was training in England and the Brigade war diary records:
WITLEY – Church Parade in TIN TOWN, Fine sunny day.
 
5th Canadian Siege Battery, Canadian Artillery, Canadian Expeditionary Force war diary records:
Souchez -  22nd to 30th This position was shelled every day at frequent intervals, the enemy had direct observation by balloon and the visibility was extremely good. On 24th we lost seven men wounded three subsequently dying. The following day three men were wounded enemy shelled position very heavily destroying quantities of shells, cartridges, gun stores and equipment,. It was then decided by H.Q. that this section should not do any firing except in case of emergency, detachments were therefore withdrawn to cover and kept clear of the guns unless ordered to shoot. The enemy continued to shell position each day but we had no more casualties.
​
