HINCKLEY TIMES 30TH SEPTEMBER 1916 .
Mrs. Attenborough of 22 Mansion Street has been officially notified that her husband
Corporal Arthur Attenborough of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment was killed in
action on September 3rd. The deceased was the son of Mr. Herman Attenborough of
91 Duke Street, who has now lost two sons in the war, Private Walter Attenborough
being killed exactly 12 months ago. The only remaining son ofthe family has been at
the Front since the outbreak of the war.
The late Corporal Attenborough was 32 years of age. He had seen 13 years service
with the colours. He was called up as a reservist on the outbreak of the war and was
amongst the first of the regiments of the Expeditionary Force to land on foreign soil.
He went through the memorable fighting of the early part of the campaign and has
since been twice wounded and twice gassed. No particulars have been received by his
wife as to how he met his death.
Though he received such a cruel buffering, Corporal Attenborough was always in the
best of spirits and took discomforts and hardships of foreign service with cheerfulness
that is characteristic of the British soldier. Before the war he worked in Anstey Hall
Colliery, near Nuneaton.
The Vicar of Holy Trinity Church in Hinckley, Rev. JF Gr@‘hs, throughout the
course ofthe war produced a “Soldiers Edition ” ofthe parish magazine. In it were
printed letters jrom servicemen to the Vicar and one of these contained an eyewitness
account of how Arthur Attenborough met his death:
“Dear Sir,
I was proceeding to my company affer operations on the 3rd inst, when I saw
Corporal Attenborough with Private Conroy ofthe same company coming back to
the Field Ambulance. They were both wounded. Corporal Attenborough was then
wounded in the arm and hand. When coming back to my company to the ration
dump, I heard someone calling for help. Private Conroy had been again badly
wounded and Corporal Attenborough was killed with the same shell…I went over to
see him, he was quite dead. It must have been a very quick death; he lay so
peacefully and looked so nice, with a pleasant smile on his face. I laid him in a
place where he could be easily seen by the burial party burying the dead and I
covered him with an oil sheet.
All the old men ofthe company are always talking about how sad it was meeting
his death on going back to the dressing station ajier being wounded I can assure
you that he was a jirst class soldier. ” E HA WKIN QUARTER MASTER

HINCKLEY TIMES 14TH OCTOBER 1916
For Mr and Mrs. Herman Attenborough of 91 Druid Street, Hinckley, bereavement
follows bereavement. Only a week ago we announced the death of Arthur
Attenborough of the Warwickshire Regiment. Now, comes the news that another son,
Private Richard Frederick Attenborough of the Leicestershire Regiment, fell in the
fighting on the Somme on September 15th. This completely wipes out the
Attenborough family so far as the three sons are concerned.
Private Richard Frederick Attenborough was 29 years of age. He had seen _
considerable service with the colours and had only recently returned to civilian life
for a period of three months when he was called on as a reserve to rejoin his regiment.
In the meantime he had secured employment as a porter at the Hinckley railway
station. He was almost immediately sent to France and went through the thick of the
fighting. It is now ascertained that the late Private Arthur Attenborough, whose death
we recorded last week, was promoted Sergeant on the field of battle and was buried
as a Sergeant. His younger brother was killed in September of last year. In addition to
her three sons, Mrs. Attenborough has recently lost a nephew whose father, is at
present, lying dangerously ill.

HINCKLEY TIMES 16TH OCTOBER 1915
Mr. H A Attenborough of Druid Street has received official notification that his son
Private Walter George Attenborough of the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light
Infantry was killed in action in France on September 25th. Attenborough was 26
years of age and was well known in Hinckley and the neighbourhood. Many years
ago he was the assistant to Mr. Priddy at the latter’s Borough hairdressing saloon and
was later similarly engaged at Nuneaton, Bedford and Portsmouth. He joined the
army as a barber soon after the declaration of war and at the time of his death had
been in the firing line for five months. The greatest sympathy is felt for the bereaved
parents, another of whose sons is Lance—Corporal Arthur Attenborough of lst
Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment, who was sent home sometime ago to
recover from the effects of gas poisoning.
Mrs. Attenborough has received the following letter from Pte. W Du Farr, a comrade
of the deceased soldier, concerning the latter’s death: “No doubt you will be surprised
to hear from me to communicate with you in the event of anything happening to him.
It is now my painful duty to have to write to you of your poor ‘boy’s death…he was
killed in action with many of our poor fellows last Saturday, the 25th.
I am at present unable to give you any details; all that I can say is that he died doing
his duty. He was well liked by his comrades and one and all are grieved to hear of his
death. I am very sony to have to write to you to tell you such painful news. I will
close now expressing the deepest sympathy of myself and comrades?

More than 2,000 men from Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland died in Battle of the Somme.

The Mercury is producing a roll of honour where the names of the casualties will be added to this online article, as well as being printed in the paper, on the anniversary of their death.

The men are listed by name, rank, regiment and location of memorials.

Silver War Badge

If a soldier was wounded or sick and was discharged from the army, they could be entitled to a silver war badge.

The main purpose of the badge was to prevent men not in uniform and without apparent disability being thought of as shirkers – it was evidence of having presented for military service, if not necessarily serving for long.

You would also get the King’s Certificate of Discharge.

This page from the Roll of Individuals entitled to a war badge, contains my wifes Grandad Frederick Carter – Leicestershire Reg no 32834 – enlisted 26.10.1916 – Discharged 10.01.1919 age 31, of wounds and served overseas. It was compiled in Lichfield. This is of great help to me as his service and pension records must be among the burned records that were destroyed in WW2.
