Chapter V: Part 5

2ND LIEUT. JOHN GRANVILLE BERRY, M.C., West Yorkshire Regiment, officially reported missing on the 16th August, 1917, was the younger son of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Berry, of Hawthorn House, Earby. 2nd Lieut. Berry was only 20 years of age, and was educated at Skipton Grammar School. He was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry and devotion to duty in taking command of his Company, when his company commander had become a casualty, and leading them for two days, during which time he displayed most remarkable initiative and determination. He attained all his objectives in the face of heavy fire, and was repeatedly to the fore in repelling counter-attacks. His personal gallantry won the admiration of all ranks. Lieut.-Col. Jefferies wrote to Lieut. Berry’s father as follows:--“He was one of my very best and trustworthy officers. He was commanding a company and would have been a Captain had he remained with the Bn. I always knew that when he undertook a job it would be carried out to the letter, and this is one of the very highest recommendations it is possible to give a soldier. The Regiment could ill afford to lose him, as officers of his type are far from being common.”

MAJOR MOSTYN E. COOKSON, of the Royal Sussex Regiment, was the first Officer connected with the Skipton Parliamentary Division to give his life for his country’s honour. His name was in the official casualty list issued by the War Office on Sept. 18th, 1914, and he was classed among those who were missing. It was hoped that he might have become detached from his Regiment, but on the 23rd September, the official intimation was that he had been killed in action in France on September 14th, 1914. The son of the late Major Cookson, of Skipton and Settle, who was for many years Adjutant of the 3rd Vol. Bn. Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding) Regiment, the deceased officer--a typical Britisher in every sense of the word--was educated at the Skipton Grammar School, and was one of a family held in deep respect in this part of Craven. His youngest sister was the late Lady Holden, who, previous to her marriage, resided with her sister at Gargrave. Major Cookson was 46 years of age.

2ND LIEUT. HARRY RISHWORTH, 2/6th Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding) Regiment, son of Mr. C. F. Rishworth, Moorfield, Utley, Keighley, died on September 15th, 1918, from injuries received in a motor accident in the Sheffield neighbourhood. Lieut. Rishworth was 22 years of age, and joined the 6th Duke of Wellington’s. He obtained a commission in 1915, and was for some time attached to the 3/6th Duke of Wellington’s Regt.

Stansfield, Knightsbridge, London, a nephew of Captain Stansfield, of Field House, Sowerby Bridge, near Halifax, and brother to Mrs. Yorke, Halton Place, Hellifield, and was 35 years of age. In 1914, he returned from Egypt with the 1st Gordon Highlanders, and was slightly wounded at Ypres. He served through the South African War, was twice mentioned in despatches, and received the D.S.O. and two medals, with eight clasps. In 1904, he married a French lady, Yolande, daughter of the late Major-General Marquess de Bourbel, R.E.

2ND LIEUT. J. HODGSON, 12th Bn. Durham Light Infantry, son of Mr. and Mrs. R.

He was an “Old Boy” of Giggleswick Grammar School.

CAPTAIN JOHN MAUGHAN, 4th Bn. The Yorkshire Regiment, T.F., killed in action near Ypres on February 17th, 1916, was the eldest son of John Maughan, of Abbey Hill, Jervaulx, Middleham, Yorks. Educated at Marlborough College, he joined the Regiment in 1909, and was gazetted Captain in November, 1914. He went to France with his regiment in April, 1915, and was in action at Ypres a few days after landing, and took part in all the subsequent engagements. He was mentioned in General French’s Despatches.

LIEUT. HARRY R. THELWELL, Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding) Regiment, died in hospital in France from wounds on July 8th, 1916. When war broke out Lieut.
