Medals:
Victory
Medal
Given
the information we have available it is likely that Harold JACKSON was entitled to the Victory medal, also
called the Inter Allied Victory Medal. This medal was awarded to all who
received the 1914 Star or 1914-15 Star and, with certain exceptions, to those
who received the British War Medal. It was never awarded alone. These three
medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.
Eligibility
for this award consisted of having been mobilised, fighting, having served in
any of the theatres of operations, or at sea, between midnight 4th/5th August,
1914, and midnight, 11th/12th November, 1918. Women who served in any of the
various military organisations in a theatre of operations were also eligible.
British
War Medal
From
the information available to us, it is very possible that Harold JACKSON was entitled to the British War Medal for
service in World War One. This
The
medal was automatically awarded in the event of death on active service before
the completion of this period.

ERNES
Most
of the information about Ernest was told to us by Kenneth and Gladys SLACK and
the late Mrs Min FIELD
Ernest
WHEATON was born on the 29th June 1893 at 8 Rylston Terrace, Fulham,
Middlesex. He was actually the third son
of Philip and Emma but both boys had died, Phillip within thirty minutes of his
birth, and the first Ernest in 1891 at the age of twenty one months.
When
he was born Ernest already had two sisters,
Ernest
did not grow up in Fulham where he was born as the family had moved to
Blackheath by 1895, and then to different addresses in Grays,
His
sister, Min, remembered Ernest as being very kind, and in particular
recalls a blue elastic beaded bracelet
which he gave her as a birthday present.
The
9th Battalion of the Essex Regiment was the first of the Service or "
Ovillers
la Boisselle is a village, just north of the
On
the 1st July 1916 the 9th Battalion of the Essex Regiment was held in reserve
at Hénencourt Wood. Meanwhile the attack
had began early as the final bombardment was just before 7.30 a.m. At that time a brigade began crossing no
man's land, which in places was about eight hundred yards wide, to be met by
appalling gun fire. The first wave of
soldiers managed to reach the German lines, but in the face of the heavy German
gunfire, they were held back, and so became mixed up with several of the
following waves of men. In the confusion
the British soldiers were driven out of the German lines. A second brigade were caught in cross fire
and had to withdraw several times.
Similarly the third brigade was unable to make progress, losing many of
their leading officers.
Ernest
worked as an overhead crane driver at the Globe Works where his father also
worked. Their lunch used to be taken to
them by Min, who had to climb the steps of the crane to reach them. When there, Ernest would show her the
controls and teach her how to work the crane!
He
was a keen footballer and played for Grays Athletics. One particular occasion is well remembered
when they played the boys on the training ship, the
s.s."Exmouth". It is not
recalled because of the score, but because Ernest broke his leg.
At
some time before 1911 Ernest met Beatrice JACKSON, and their son, Eric William
WHEATON was born on the 10th April of that year, although his birth was not
registered until 1930. In his early
years Eric was brought up by his mother's family, and was known to the
At
the beginning of the war Min worked as a housemaid and her employer frequently
asked her about her brother Ernest, mentioning the war, talking about
enlisting, and referring to the issuing of white feathers. Min passed the comments on to her brother
Ernest who, despite his mother trying to persuade him to stay at home, enlisted
in Grays,
By
1916 he was Private 23901 in the III Essex Regiment. It is probable that he was on the point of
embarking for
Emma,
Ernest's mother was of course very bitter when the telegram from the War Office
arrived stating that Ernest was missing presumed killed, one telegram which was
soon followed by another reporting the death of Harold JACKSON. Ernest was not found, and his name is on the
Thiepval Memorial in the
A day
later the 9th Battalion of the Essex Regiment moved up to the front line and
although there was no attack Ovillers was still bombarded in order that the
enemy would think that an advance was imminent.
However, it is thought that the German forces either withdrew from their
trenches, or sat safely in strong, deeply cut, dugouts.
The
attack toward Ovillers on the 3rd July began at 2.15 a.m. where the targets
were the same as on the 1st. The digging
of trenches in no man's land had been carried out in the time between the two
attacks in an attempt to lessen the distance between the two armies. The 35th Brigade (of which Ernest was a part)
was to the right "with the 6th R Berks. and 7th Suffolks in front and on
their left was the 37 Bde. with the 6th Queen's and 6th R.W. Kents. The extreme left of the Division's line was
held by the 36th Bde. who were to cover the flank with the help of a smoke
discharge." The men began their
advance about 3.15 a.m. (when our First World War expert thinks Ernest was
probably killed). By 9 a.m. it was
being reported that the attack had failed.
The reasons for the failure were later given as inadequate flank
protection and the lack of surprise.
On
the 3rd July there was 2mm of rain, the temperature was between 55 and 68
degrees, and there were thunderstorms around.
This
is the day on which it is estimated that a total of 60,000 men lost their
lives, one of them being Ernest WHEATON, so he obviously took no part in
subsequent events. On the 8th July the
Battalion was in action again, and advanced two hundred yards but lost their
Commanding Officer, Major C I RYAN. This
event was followed by a withdrawal to Albert-Bouzincourt on the 9th, and following action on the 10th, 11th, 21st,
22nd, 25th, 26th and 30th July, the Battalion were again back in
Albert-Bouzincourt on the 8th August.
The Battalion continued to see action in various sectors until the 22nd
October. The
By
the time it was possible to search for the missing all traces of 72,085 men who
had died in this particular sector of the battlefield were lost. Over 90% of the names on the Thiepval
memorial to the missing are men who lost their lives from July to November
1916. In addition to the memorial there
are three hundred French and three hundred British graves in the Anglo-French
cemetery. The monument stands in 40
acres of ground, on a ridge overlooking the battlefield, and is the largest
built by the War Graves Commission. It
was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and is 150 feet high. It is mainly built of brick, but the sixteen
piers on which the names are engraved are of Portland stone. "It was built between 1928 and 1932 and
was unveiled by the Prince of Wales in the presence of the President of France
on the 31st July 1932."

Medal
Given
the information we have available it is likely that Ernest WHEATON was entitled
to the Victory medal, also called the Inter Allied Victory Medal. This medal
was awarded to all who received the 1914 Star or 1914-15 Star and, with certain
exceptions, to those who received the British War Medal. It was never awarded
alone. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip,
Squeak and Wilfred.
Eligibility
for this award consisted of having been mobilised, fighting, having served in
any of the theatres of operations, or at sea, between midnight 4th/5th August,
1914, and midnight, 11th/12th November, 1918. Women who served in any of the
various military organisations in a theatre of operations were also eligible.
British
War Medal
From the
information available to us, it is very possible that Ernest WHEATON was
entitled to the British War Medal for service in World War One. This
The
medal was automatically awarded in the event of death on active service before
the completion of this period.

Notes
for William Henry MILLER:
We
were given not information about William Henry MILLER other than he had been
married before. We have not looked for
more details until now (January 2015).
The only lead we have is that on the certificate for his married to
Beatrice WHEATON née JACKSON his father was shown as William Louis MILLER. Given that information a search was made for
a William Henry/William H with father William Louis/ William L. Such information was found and all the
details entered for William Henry MILLER have been done so on the basis that we
found the right census information. Details are therefore not proven and
further research should be undertaken before accepting the information entered
here.

ERIC
WILLIAM WHEATON 1911 - 1991
Eric
William WHEATON was born on the 10th April 1911 at 18 Cromwell Road, Grays,
Essex, the home of his mother, Beatrice JACKSON, who omitted to register her
son's birth. This was not remedied until
the time of Eric's marriage in 1930 when the entry in the Birth Index, and on
his certificate, indicates that the information was recorded "by order of
the Registrar General". His
parents, Ernest WHEATON and Beatrice JACKSON, did ultimately marry in 1916, but
Ernest was already in the army, the marriage took place at a dock yard church
probably just before Ernest was embarking for France, where he was
"missing presumed dead" in the Battle of the Somme six months later. So, Eric was brought up in Grays by his
mother and her family and knew very little of his WHEATON ancestors, although,
apparently he did visit his grandparents, Philip and Emma on one occasion.
In
1916 Beatrice, and probably Eric, were living in Park Street, in Grays, and in
1918, Eric's mother, Beatrice remarried to William Henry MILLER, a
widower. Eric would have been about
seven years old when this event took place, but it appears that he did not get
on with his step-father, and as soon as he was able he became a steward on a P
& O Liner on the Australian route.
Whether he actually "ran away to sea" we are not certain, but
the experience certainly made him, all the rest of his life, want to return to
that part of the world.
By
1929 he must have returned to Essex as he and Gladys May CROSS, the youngest
daughter of William and Florence (née JEWELL) CROSS were engaged in August 1929
and married in 1930. The ceremony took
place at the Register Office in Rochford, Essex, witnessed by Eric's mother,
Beatrice MILLER, and Harold and Lilian CROSS, brother and sister of the
bride. Eric and his Gladys began their
married life probably at "White Heather", a guest house situated at
167 Eastern Esplanade, Southend, Essex which was run by William CROSS and his
family. Later they moved away to 71
Sandringham Road, still in Southend.
Three children were born to Eric and Gladys, Valerie Daphne in 1931,
Peter Ernest in 1933 and Dennis Ian in 1936.
All were born at Southend Municipal Hospital in Southend, which is where
Peter also died within hours of his birth of Anencephaly.
Eric
and his young family had moved at some time to Nelson Road, Leigh on Sea,
Essex, but at the beginning of the war, in about 1940, all those living in
Southend and district were told to pack a suitcase and were given only a short
time to leave the area. Whether Eric was
still living in Southend at this time, or if he had already joined the forces,
we are uncertain. The Company for which
Lilian CROSS, the sister of Gladys May (née CROSS) WHEATON, worked, Norris
Warming (ledger section) bought a property at Stonecot Hill, in Morden, Surrey
in case of emergencies. This house was
offered to Lilian and her sister's family, and in 1940 Gladys, the children,
Valerie, Dennis, and "Aunty Lily" moved to Surrey. They eventually found another house to rent
at 50 Palmer Avenue, North Cheam, Surrey.
After
leaving the P & O Line and marrying Gladys, Eric had worked as a
Corporation Gardener, Groundsman and Parks Gardener for Southend Council. During World War II he was in the Royal Air
Force as an Airfield Controller at a fighter station. At some time during the war he was stationed
in Holland and on one leave brought home a wooden letter opener, the handle of
which was painted in the shape of a Dutch girl in national costume and a purse-wallet
for his son, Dennis.
After
the war, Eric's sister-in-law, Lilian CROSS, was able to help Eric find
employment with Norris Warming Company where he became chauffeur to the
Managing Director, Mr CARAMEL whose car was a Humber Super Snipe. At this time it would appear that the
relationship between Eric and his wife, Gladys, was not a very happy one. As he
often took Mr CARAMEL to Birmingham Eric was able to visit the home of his
brother-in-law, Harold Victor CROSS, and his wife Gladys Emily (née WILLIAMS)
known as Babs. We are told that the
atmosphere in this home contrasted with that of his own home and made him more
discontented with the situation as regards his own family. Harold CROSS died in 1948, and two years
later Eric had decided to leave Cheam and make his home, with Babs CROSS in
Bhylls Crescent in Wolverhampton. His son, Dennis, remained in Cheam with his
mother and Aunty Lily. The knowledge
that her husband had left her devastated Gladys May, and on the 22nd January
1951 she committed suicide at the house at 50 Palmer Avenue, Cheam. Just under three months later Eric and Babs
were married in the Register Office in Wolverhampton with friends and relations
of Babs acting as witnesses.
Some
time before 1954 Eric and Babs moved to Stourport-on-Severn where they took
over the running of the Swan Hotel, Eric as Manager, and Babs as Cook. Probably about 1957 they moved to 115 Stubby
Lane, Wednesfield, near Wolverhampton, Staffordshire where they continued to
live until 1977. Whilst there Eric had
several jobs: Stocktaker, Salesman, Clerk and Cost Clerk, mainly for different
Breweries. Later he was a Progress Clerk
working for an Iron and Steel Works.
When
he married Babs, Eric had doubled his family, as his niece and nephew, Pamela and
Victor CROSS, became his step children. Whilst living in Stourport-on-Severn in
1954, Eric's daughter, Valerie, had married Harold WOOD, with her father and
her brother Dennis as witnesses. Valerie
and Harold provided Eric with two grandsons, Ian and Peter, before Valerie died
of cancer in 1962. During her illness
one or other of the two boys spent much time with their grandparents. Step-daughter, Pamela CROSS married Roger FARLEY
in January 1960, and with their three sons decided in 1967 to emigrate to
Australia. In 1960 son, Dennis, married
Jean TERRY, and in 1963 step-son, Victor CROSS married Margaret DAVIS. These two marriages produced a total of
another three grandsons and two granddaughters for Eric and Babs.
After
his step-daughter, Pamela (née CROSS) FARLEY and her family had emigrated to
Adelaide in Australia, Eric became more and more interested in travelling to
the other side of the world again, just as he had done in the early years of
his life. After much discussion, Eric
and Babs also decided to emigrate and they left this country for Australia in
1977.
For
most of the rest of their lives they lived at 20 Banksia Court, Elizabeth Park
Adelaide. After the death of his wife in
1985 Eric moved to F.114 Breamore Street, Elizabeth North, still in Adelaide,
where he spent much time with Pamela and her family. After suffering a stroke Eric eventually
moved to the Trevu Nursing Home, 70 East Terrace in Gawler East, where he died
on the 7th July 1991.
PENINSULAR
& ORIENT (P & O) LINE
The
company was begun about 160 years ago with the prime purpose of carrying the
mail and once it was the largest company in the world. The early ships had black hulls and funnels
and stone-coloured superstructure although this was changed in the 1930s. The flag is quartered using the royal colours
of Portugal and Spain, the area to which the company first sent their mail
ships. During the Spanish Civil Wars in
the 1830s they were involved with both sides in the struggle for the throne,
and at this time their ships, besides the mails, were carrying such cargoes as
guns, troops, machinery and giraffes for London Zoo! The first passenger journey was on the 22nd
August 1837 and was made by the 800-ton Don Juan although this vessel was
wrecked on the return journey. However,
the mail was saved, so retaining the company's reputation, and within three
years they had extended their business to Egypt, and another three years later
to India. For these longer runs larger
ships of 2,000 tons were necessary and they had to be built to withstand the
monsoon weather in the Far East. By 1845
the service reached Singapore and Hong Kong, and by 1852 the route to Australia
had also been established.
Besides
the mail the ships travelling east of Suez carried such goods as silks and
indigo and had a near monopoly of long-distance steamer services in the far
east. However, with the opening of the
Suez Canal in 1869 there had to be much economising and many changes to ensure
the company survived. There were larger
and faster ships, and two thirds of the passengers, which included civil
servants, diplomats, soldiers, bankers, industrialists, missionaries and world
travellers, went to India. Although originally limiting travellers to First and
Second class only, in 1910 the company started carrying emigrants to
Australia. Gradually the Australian
routes replaced those to India as the most important and Australian passengers
encouraged the introduction of games decks on board the ships.
Even
before the company had started, ideas had been put forward about cruising
around the Scottish coast and to Iceland.
Modern-style cruises were begun in the 1880s by the Orient Line and the
North of Scotland Company, both later to be taken over by P&O. The first programme of P&O First Class
only cruises with shore excursions was organised by Thomas Cook in 1904; the
activity became more and more popular and the company used the newest ships in
the fleet. Tourist class cruises began on the 1930s, whilst cruises from
Australia had begun a few years earlier.
By
the 1930s the ships had become floating cities, as tall as skyscrapers and as
big as mainline railway terminuses.
Their machinery was as large as that of a power station enabling them to
travel at 30 knots. The passengers were
provided with every comfort to make them feel separated from the ocean
itself. The fittings and furnishings on
the ships were therefore very elaborate and very luxurious. Everything was done on a lavish scale so that
the individual cabins and magnificent public rooms could be compared favourably
to any stately mansion.
Apparently,
Eric William WHEATON could see the masts of the liners in Tilbury Docks from
his home in Grays. This encouraged him to become a steward on P&O liners on
the route to Australia. Whether this
actually entailed "running away to sea" we are not certain, but he
could not have been very old as he had returned to land and to Essex, where he
was married in 1930 when he would have been only nineteen years old.
