Percy FORSTER (of Doddington)
b. Q4, 1886 Private, Service Number G/692 |
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) records - Son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Forster, of Chequers Hill, Doddington, Sittingbourne, Kent. A member of the St. John's Ambulance Brigade for 12 years. Enlisted in August, 1914, proceeded to France, June, 1915.
Percy Forster's family had strong local ties to Doddington. He and his brother, Frank, as well as his grandfather, Charles, were all born in Doddington; while his father, John, was born in Lynsted. Percy followed his father in his occupation as a carpenter and house joiner living on Chequers Hill, Doddington. His uncle, William, was born in Wychling and moved away when he married. Percy was a close neighbour, on Chequers Hill, of fellow soldier Harry Victor Higgins who also died on this day in the same action and in the same Company "C". Those who died that day could not be retrieved or buried in what remained no-man's land, largely unchanged until 1919.
Indications that his body was not recovered can be found in the record of his Effects describing the date as "on or soon after"; his 15-Star medal card also describes the date as "presumed". As a single man, his sole beneficiary was his father, John. On his death, Percy's personal effects amounted to £7 11s. 10d. followed by a later War Gratuity of £4 to his father.
The Faversham and North East Kent News of 16th December 1916 |
Percy Foster (sic), a Doddington man, of whom nothing has been heard for more than a year, and whose parents have therefore been in great suspense, is now assumed to have been killed in action on October 13th 1915. |
Belatedly and misreporting his his family name as "Foster"...
Faversham and North East Kent News of 3rd February 1917 |
PTE. PERCY FOSTER (sic), THE BUFFS. We referred recently to Pte. Percy Foster, the Buffs, a Doddington man, who is now assumed to have been killed in action on October 13th, 1915, no news of him having been received since he was reported missing on that date. He was the son of Mr John Foster, of Chequers Hill, Doddington, and was one of the first three in Doddington to enlist in Kitchener's Army. The other two were Harry Higgins and Wilfred Caryer, both of whom have also been killed, as we have previously recorded. Pte. Foster, who was 29 years of age, offered his services in the first instance for the R.A.M.C. for which he was well qualified as he had been an efficient member of the St. John Ambulance Brigade (Doddington Division) for 13 years. He was unsuccessful, however, in getting into that Corps and so he enlisted in the Buffs with Harry Higgins. The latter was killed on the same date as Pte. Foster was reported as missing. Wilfred Caryer, the other member of the trio, was killed in March last year. |
Circumstances of Private Percy Forster's death
We have transcribed those parts of the Regimental Diary that cover Percy's first experience overseas and the period in the trenches during which Percy Foster and Harry Victor Higgins both died. The closeness of their regimental numbers suggests they probably joined together at the outbreak of war in August 1914. After the slaughter of 13th October, we have included the period behind the lines during which several drafts of soldiers were badly needed to restore the strength of the 6th Battalion - the battalion also received 'morale boosting' visits from the top brass.
