Roe Green Methodist Church.





I thought that some of the forum members may be interested in the plaque outside the church which states that "THE DISTINGUISHED ENGLAND CRICKETERS J.T. TYLDESLEY (1874), ERNEST TYDLESLEY (1889) AND MICHAEL VAUGHAN (1976) WERE ALL BAPTISED IN THIS CHAPEL."

Like it. I wonder if Rachel Jane Yorke was related to the Harry Yorke who is named on the memorial to those killed (second memorial pictured)?

John is sat bottom right.

Michael Vaughan is the great nephew of the Tyldesleys.

They advanced from a place called Heathcotes Bank, which is quite near Martinsart.
There was a ravine running between Martinsart and Aveluy Woods which was rushed by a Patoon of the 18th Bn.
They captured the high ground but then came under heavy machine gun fire from another nearby hill to the South and were forced to withdraw.

Eccles Journal – August 18, 1916

Bound for “Blighty”

ROE GREEN PALS’ EXPERIENCE IN THE GREAT PUSH

Pte H Howell, whose letters in the “Journal” have been read with interest by his fellow residents of Roe Green, is one of the Manchester Pals who fortunately came through the great push with their lives. He is now lying wounded in a Glasgow hospital, and in a letter to his friend, Arthur Tyldseley, tersely describes a phase of the battle which has been common to many of the “Pals” who have been seriously wounded, but not rendered quite helpless. The battalion was moving up to the attack at dawn when a shell dropped in the midst of a party of bombers, and about three yards from Howell. Before he could tell that he was himself hit he saw that it had floored others of the party, and he wriggled into a shell hole. There he divested himself of rifle equipment, a bag of bombs, and a pick. After a “breather” he decided to make a bid for the dressing station, which he knew to be nearly a mile away. He had discovered that he was badly wounded in the leg, and with the aid of the shaft of the pick dragged himself and crawled to the dressing station. Meantime the Germans commenced sending gas over the battlefield, and all had to wear respirators. A Red Cross train was quickly got out of the danger zone, and at dawn the following morning reached the base where it was found Howell’s knee was fractured, and that he was also slightly affected by the gas. The next morning he was “labelled” for “blighty” and ultimately arrived at Glasgow. He expects that his injuries may keep him there a couple of months, but Howell reports that he is progressing favourably, and is receiving excellent treatment.
