William Gilbert Banthorpe

#17216, b. 15 January 1918, d. 19 October 2000
Last Edited=6 Oct 2006
William Gilbert Banthorpe
     William Gilbert Banthorpe was born on 15 January 1918 in Norwich, Norfolk, England.1,2 He was the son of William Banthorpe and Alice Maud Sadd. He married Dorothy Jones in 1947 Dorothy was cleraly using the name of Banthorpe prior to the marriage as in the GRO index two entries appear. One marrying a Banthorpe to a Jones the other a Banthorpe to a Banthorpe.1,3 His wife Dorothy died on after 1975 but before October 2000.1 William died on 19 October 2000 aged 82 Gilly, as he was universally known, was a remarkable man, serving continuously in uniform for 57 years from his joining the TA in 1939 until his retirement as PMC Norfolk Army Cadets in 1996.
He joined the 4th Bn TA in Mar 1939 and trained on Mortars. Gilly was called up in Sep 1939 and reported on his motor cycle which was requisitioned (for some small recompense) and he never saw it again. Gilly spent the war years mainly at Britannia Barracks as a Weapons Training Instructor with No 2 ITC.
He was an instructor to the first intake and taught them to ride bicycles and to use a pickaxe by numbers. Some lads were not too hot on differentiating between left and right but Gilbert had the solution. A wisp of hay was tied to one boot and a piece of straw to the other. 'I will now teach you how to salute to the straw.'
In 1946 Gilly was promoted WO2 and posted to The Essex Regiment in Colchester. In 1951 he returned to his pre-war employment with the Gas Board, re-joined the 4th Bn TA as a CSgt and had more success with shooting. Gilly was always a man quick of the mark. The Company returned to Thorpe Station and Capt William Gaymer summoned Gilbert. 'Banthorpe - I am going to march with the Coy back to the drill hall. Take my car will you.' Gilbert not only had time to drop off his kit at home but have a haircut before the Captain arrived on foot.
At the age of 65, ACF retirement age caught up with him in 1983. But the County Executive Officer, Maj Tim Chatting, indicated that ACF Regulations permitted the holding of a PMC, unpaid, provided he was of Field rank. And so Extension No 3 came to pass.
Gilly performed his last official duty as PMC at ACF Annual Camp at Cwrt-Y-Gollen, Crickhowell in August 1996 when he retired again after 57 years in uniform at the age of 78, handing over to Capt Roy Ames. There were no more extensions!
In retirement from the Gas Board, Gilly was instrumental in the setting up of the Gas Museum at Fakenham and this stands as a memorial and testament to his tenacity, enthusiasm and sheer hard work. He was also a familiar face in a white coat in his other capacity as a caterer at Norfolk Regimental Dinners and Reunions.
A founder member and for many years our Welfare and Entertainments Officer, Gilly was a regular attender at Norwich and District Branch Meetings of the Royal Norfolk and Royal Anglian Regimental Association and wrote the piece for the B&C. He missed, through illness, for the first time ever, the Regimental Association Dinner in Sep 2000.
There was standing room only at his funeral service at St Faith's Crematorium on Thu 26 Oct, conducted by Rev Jonathan Boston, Senior Padre to Norfolk ACF. A Guard of Honour was composed of Norwich Branch members. The Norwich and District Branch Standard of the Royal Norfolk and Royal Anglian Regimental Association, black draped and carried by Paul Boxall, attended the coffin, on which rested Gilly's No 1 hat bearing a Royal Norfolk cap badge. Gilly's son Gerry paid tribute to his father 'Jack The Lad' as a young man and 'Jack The Lad' in his later years when his grand-children took him out. The Last Post was sounded for Gilly by Edmund Bacon. Many were in attendance, including, from Norfolk ACF, County Comdt Col Mike Mizen, Trg Offr Maj John Doughty, OC CNE Bty Maj Chris Wilkinson, Capt Sue Pratt MBE and Ben Turner.
Gilly touched and influenced for good the lives of countless people who are richer for knowing him.
He had a fund of stories, thankfully recorded. A true son of the Regiment. We will miss him.
His wife Dot pre-deceased him and he is survived by his son Gerald, 2 granddaughters, 2 great grandsons (one named William after him) and one great granddaughter.4
