| Great War Bronze Memorial Plaque (Ernest White Francis), extremely fine £60-80 10295 Private Ernest White Francis, born Plymouth, Devon; served with the 8th Battalion Devonshire Regiment during the Great War; killed in action on the Western Front on the First Day of the Battle of Loos, 25.9.1915: 'The 20th Brigade, the right of the 7th Division, was to attack the part of the front known as the Breslau Trench. Its two leading battalions, the 2nd Gordons and the 8th Devons, issued from their trenches in lines of companies punctually at 06:30 hours. The advance was at first completely enveloped in the gas cloud, and here, too, the smoke-helmets brought more curses than blessings from all ranks. After a few minutes the men, almost suffocated, had to remove them to get breath, many being subsequently incapacitated by the gas fumes. In an effort to dispel the very effective smoke cloud, the German artillery, particularly the batteries in Gun Trench, began bursting shell into it, and the assaulting battalions lost heavily from this fire whilst crosing the five hundred yards of No Man's Land. In front of the 8th Devons only a few gaps in the wire had been made, so that the leading men were delayed, and the rear lines pressing forward caused great crowding at every passage. As a result, the Germans in Bareslau Trench were able to inflict serious damage on the Devons in a very short space of time, and the majority of their heavy casualties occurred close up to the wire entanglement. In the 24 hours' fighting from dawn on the 25th September to dawn on the 26th, the 8th Devons lost all 19 Officers and 600 men out of 750' (Official History of the War refers). Francis is commemorated on the Loos Memorial, France. |

The assault was to be carried out by the 2nd South Wales Borderers and 1st K.O.S.B. More tank assistance was forthcoming than allotted, and in the end 18 tanks took part. Nine tanks assisted the South Wales Borderers on the right; everywhere the machines were received with terrific machine-gun fire, and it soon became clear that the plate of the Mark IV tank was not proof against the German armour-piercing bullet. For more than two hours the tanks cruised among the German trenches, but they could not subdue the machine-gunners who took refuge in dug-outs and seized their chance to emerge and open fire upon tanks and infantry alike. The infantry had little success in its frontal assault against wire which was mostly intact. The tanks were, in the words of one commander, "badly mauled". Only three were lost, two by direct hits from enemy field guns, but several had been set on fire and many were holed by armour-piercing bullets' (Official History of the War refers). The South Wales Borderers suffered heavy casualties that day; Symonds is buried in Marcoing British Cemetery, France. |

In the 124th Brigade, on the right, the 10th Queens' and 21st K.R.R.C. led. The attack started well, some of the men pressing on so eagerly that they were killed or wounded by the creeping barrage. At first there was little resistance, Tea Support having been so shattered by the bombardment that those of its defenders who remained alive had little heart for fighting. The Switch Line (first objective) was captured by 07:00 hours, and the consolidation of the position was put in hand. At 07:20 hours the advance to the second objective, Flers Trench, began. This was taken half an hour later after some fighting, and parties of the brigade then pushed onto the third objective.

Oakley and the Earl of Faversham, made a fresh advance on the third objective.

The 21st K.R.R.C. suffered heavy casualties during the day, including the Battalion's founder and Commanding Officer, the Earl of Faversham, two other Officers, and 54 men killed, and 10 Officers and 256 men wounded.
