Arthur Reginald Birks
     Arthur Reginald Birks was born in 1896 in West Hartlepool, Durham, England.1 He was the son of Edwin Birks and Eliza Hallifield. In the census of 31 March 1901 in Malbourne Lodge, Stockton Road, West Hartlepool, Durham, England, he was listed as the son of Edwin Birks.2 He died on 1 July 1916 in Somme, France, at the Battle of Somme. There is a chapel in Durham Cathedral dedicated to the Durham Light Infantry and there is a book of commemoration there with his name and the names of all those who died that day. At the time regiments were very localized insofar as to who joined, so these boys may all have grown up together. This becomes very poignant when one discovers that two hundred of them died that one day. Oddly there was a Harold V Birks who was also killed that day with Reginald from that Regiment but no one seems to know whether he was a relative.3,4 On 1 July 1916, supported by a French attack to the south, thirteen divisions of Commonwealth forces launched an offensive on a line from north of Gommecourt to Maricourt. Despite a preliminary bombardment lasting seven days, the German defences were barely touched and the attack met unexpectedly fierce resistance. Losses were catastrophic and with only minimal advances on the southern flank, the initial attack was a failure. In the following weeks, huge resources of manpower and equipment were deployed in an attempt to exploit the modest successes of the first day. However, the German Army resisted tenaciously and repeated attacks and counter attacks meant a major battle for every village, copse and farmhouse gained. At the end of September, Thiepval was finally captured. The village had been an original objective of 1 July. Attacks north and east continued throughout October and into November in increasingly difficult weather conditions. The Battle of the Somme finally ended on 18 November with the onset of winter. In the spring of 1917, the German forces fell back to their newly prepared defences, the Hindenburg Line, and there were no further significant engagements in the Somme sector until the Germans mounted their major offensive in March 1918. The Thiepval Memorial, the Memorial to the Missing of the Somme, bears the names of more than 72,000 officers and men of the United Kingdom and South African forces who died in the Somme sector before 20 March 1918 and have no known grave. Over 90% of those commemorated died between July and November 1916. The memorial also serves as an Anglo-French Battle Memorial in recognition of the joint nature of the 1916 offensive and a small cemetery containing equal numbers of Commonwealth and French graves lies at the foot of the memorial. The memorial, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, was built between 1928 and 1932 and unveiled by the Prince of Wales, in the presence of the President of France, on 31 July 1932. The dead of other Commonwealth countries who died on the Somme and have no known graves are commemorated on national memorials elsewhere. He was buried in Thiepval Memorial, Pier and Face 14A and 15C, Somme, France, The Thiepval Memorial will be found on the D73, off the main Bapaume to Albert road (D929). Each year a major ceremony is held at the memorial on 1 July.3
