On the weekend of <b>17th & 18th March 2018</b>, I went on a trip to northern <b>France</b> and <b>Belgium</b>. The purpose of this trip was mainly to honour my mother's <b><a href="http://wewillrememberthemww1.blogspot.com/2018/03/remembering-uncle-ted-private-602.html" target="_blank">Uncle Ted</a>, </b>who had been killed in action, 100 years ago on the <b>18th March 1918</b>. You can read my blog post about my visit to the <b>La Plus Douve Farm Cemetery</b> <a href="http://wewillrememberthemww1.blogspot.com/2018/03/remembering-uncle-ted-private-602.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
When preparing for this trip I remembered that I had another relative that served in the <b>First World War</b>, that was buried nearby, this time from the <b>Mulholland</b> family. My great grandfather's nephew <b>Robert P Mulholland</b>. <b>Robert</b> was born in <b>Randalstown, County Antrim, Ireland</b> (now <b>Northern Ireland</b>) on <b>3rd August 1886</b>, the first son of <b>Robert</b> and <b>Martha (nee Lynn) Mulholland</b>. <b>Robert</b> followed in his father's footsteps and according to the <b>1901 Census of Ireland</b> was an apprentice Power Loom Tuner, in<b> Caledon, County Tyrone</b>. By the time the <b>1911 Census of Ireland</b> was recorded, he was 24 years of age, single and employed as a Power Loom Tuner in <b>Figullar, County Monaghan</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>Robert</b> enlisted on <b>3 November 1913</b> and at that time resided at <b>73 Rosetta Road, Peebles, Peebleshire, Scotland. Robert</b> was enlisted as <b>No. 7395, 8th Battalion, Royal Scots</b>. At that time he was employed as a weaver by <b>Messrs W. Thorburn Bros</b>. in <b>Peebles</b>. According to his Statement of Services, he participated in annual training from <b>19 July 1914 - 2 August 1914</b> and in Embodied Service from <b>5 August 1914</b> at <b>Peebles</b> until <b>3 November 1914</b> and then in <b>France</b> from<br />
<b>4 November 1914</b> until he was killed in action on <b>16 May 1915</b>.<br />
<br />
I struck gold when I searched the <b><a href="https://archive.org/details/bookofremembr19201925gunn" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a></b> otherwise known as the <b><a href="http://archive.org/web/" target="_blank">Way Back Machine</a></b>, Book I of the "<b>The Book of Remembrance for Tweeddale. [Roll of honour of Peebleshire men killed in the Great War, 1914-1918. With portraits.]</b>" included not only details about <b>Robert Mulholland</b> but also a portrait and some of his poetry.<br />

<br />
<br />
On the weekend of 17th & 18th March 2018, I went on a trip to Northern France and Belgium. The purpose of this trip was mainly to honour my mother's <b>Uncle Ted</b>. My mother had never met her uncle but often spoke of him. <b>Uncle Ted</b> had been remembered in family discussions, as he had volunteered to serve his country in the First World War.<br />
<br />
During the war, <b>Ted</b> kept in regular contact with his family back in <b>Sydney, Australia</b>, and a number of his letters and postcards to his mother, father, sisters and brother were treasured by the family and eventually handed down from his mother <b>Annie Josephine (nee Gillham) Bridgement</b> to his sister <b>Vivian Doris (nee Bridgement) Munton</b>, to her daughter <b>Doris Anne (nee Munton) Horsburgh</b> and some time after Doris' death, her husband <b>William Frank Cooper Horsburgh</b> passed the letters on to my mother, <b>Patricia Ann (nee Frost) Mulholland</b>. <b>Ted</b> or <b>Private E.S.Bridgement</b> as he was known, was wounded in action in France on 20th July 1916, he had sustained gun shot wounds to both thighs. In a undated letter, of which only one page survives, he described the circumstances when he was wounded -<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"... each hand under heavy artillery machine guns & different others was weapons I reached their [there] safely but our job was to come back and carry more Bombs and back we started. I might tell you that only 5 out of our section reached their[there]. I got about 10 yds from the Germans trench coming back when I got hit so you can guess it was not to[too] easy a job to get back a distance of nearly 500 yds when I was wounded in both thighs but thanks God I managed to struggle their[there]. It took me over a hour. It was not to nice crawling along seeing dead men lying all around you and shells bursting only yds away from you when I got back into our trenches the stretcher bearers where [were] very busy so I crawled into a dug out and found 15 more wounded comrades there was hardly room to move. I waited all night and could not get a stretcher bearer so I decided to struggle down to the dressing station It was about a mile from where we where[were]"</div>

He was admitted to the <b>Ambulance Train</b> and then to the <b>3rd Canadian Stationary Hospital, Boulogne</b>, later he was transferred to the <b>Hospital Ship "St David"</b> and finally admitted to <b>Ontario Military Hospital, Orpington Kent, England</b> on the 22nd July 1916.<br />
<br />
<br />
In a letter to his mother dated 9th August 1916, <b>Ted</b> writes ..."I told you in my last letter about how I got wounded I also told you I would be up and about in a few days. I was up out of bed for over a week getting about on Crutchers then I started to hobble about without them and I felt something under my knee every time I walked so I told the doctor, and he sent me to the X Ray and the next day he told me that there was a scrappnel Bullet there and so I had to get him out, went under the Operation yesterday morning about 8 o'clock and I did not wake up till 3 o'clock. I never felt a bit sick when I woke up it was just like waking out of a sleep. I believe the Bullet was in very deep the orderly told me that they where[were] about 1 hour & half getting it out. I suppose I will have to stop in bed for about a week or two until the wound eals[heals] up. I am a very lucky fellow Most of the lads feel very sick for a couple of Days after a operation but thanks God I am feeling just as well has[as] ever. My temperature was never above normal and I felt very Hungary[hungry] when I woke up I got something to eat the same night so there was nothing wrong with me"<br />

<b>Private E.S.Bridgement </b>rejoined his unit in <b>France</b> on 31 August 1917.<br />
<br />
The letters and postcards that <b>Ted</b> sent were especially important to the family as on the 18th day of March 1918, at approximately 10 am, <b>Private E.S.Bridgement</b> was killed in action.<br />
<br />
Amongst the collection of <b>Ted</b>'s letters, was a letter dated 28th August 1918, from the <b>Australian Red Cross Society</b> to his mother <b>Mrs. A Bridgement</b>, notifying her that seven reports of <b>Private E.S.Bridgement</b>'s death had been sent to the Australian Red Cross.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

He was buried at Petit Douve Cemetery near Messines, and a Cross was erected, and I believe the grave was registered. He was buried beside <b>Capt.

100 years ago today ...<br />
<br />
This postcard/photo was sent home by my maternal grand uncle -<br />
<b>Private 602 Edward Samuel BRIDGEMENT</b> to his parents in Sydney, NSW, Australia, whilst he was recuperating at Orpington.<br />
<br />
It appears that the postcard/photo was taken at Christmas time in 1916.<br />
<br />
On the reverse side of the card it is addressed as coming from '<i><b>Ontario Military Hosp., Orpington, Kent, England</b></i>' and dated '<i><b>7 Jan 1916</b></i>'. However, I believe the card should have been dated <b>7 Jan 1917</b>, as Edward was actually at <b>Medinet Habu, Luxor, Egypt</b> in <b>January 1916</b>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
He was injured at <b>Pozieres, France</b>, on <b>19 July 1916</b>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
In the postcard message to his mother and father he says - </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<i>"This is a photo of our ward taken at Christmas time, we had a splendid time". </i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Therefore, this photo would have been taken around <b>Christmas Day 1916</b>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Edward is sitting on the floor in the front row, third from the left.</div>
