HERBERT DOUGLAS STRACHAN Rank:PrivateService No:11254 Date of Death:01/07/1916 Regiment/Service:Lancashire Fusiliers 16th Bn. Grave Reference: I. C. 19. Cemetery:CONNAUGHT CEMETERY, THIEPVAL The following is an extract from our book "A District at War". We have plans to write a book on the 16th Battalion so any info would be much appreciated: Herbert Douglas Strachan – Killed in action 1st July 1916Private Herbert Strachan (Service no. 11254) served in 5 Platoon, 'B' (Eccles) Company of the 16th (Service) Battalion (2nd Salford), The Lancashire Fusiliers, 96th Brigade, 32nd Division. The battalion was one of the famous 'Salford Pals' Battalions and 'B' Company consisted of men mainly from Eccles and surrounding districts. Herbert was born in Aberdeen, the son of William and Helen Strachan. He resided with his sister, Mrs Fielding, at 520 Liverpool Road, Irlam and worked at the British Westinghouse Company, Trafford Park. He enlisted into the Lancashire Fusiliers at Salford in November 1914. One year later he sailed with the battalion to France, arriving on 22nd November 1915. On the first day of the Somme the 16th Battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers were wrongly informed that the 15th Battalion had got into the village of Thiepval and needed help. The 16th unsuccessfully assaulted the strong German positions around Thiepval, losing eight officers and 223 men on the first day alone. Herbert was one of those killed in action at Thiepval on Saturday, 1st July 1916. In an attempt to gain information, his sister wrote to Captain Tweed, his Commanding Officer, who explained that Herbert had been seen during the attack with three gunshot wounds, which looked serious. He had no further news but offered little hope. Herbert's death was not officially confirmed until almost a year later in June 1917. His body was later recovered and buried in Connaught Cemetery, Somme, France. His obituary in the newspaper read: "And with the morn these angels faces smile, which I have loved long since and lost awhile – sadly missed by their sorrowing sisters, Mrs Milne (Aberdeen) and Mrs Fielding."; Medal Entitlement: 15 Star Trio. Herbert's younger brother, Alexander Robertson Strachan, initially served as a Pioneer (Service No. 830) in the Royal Engineers and later served as Private 21189 in the 1st/6th Battalion, The Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He was killed in action on 4th February 1917, aged 24. Alexander is buried at Assevillers New British Cemetery, near Peronne, France. He was a resident of Aberdeen.
