All About History Books
The Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. Baker was a secular clerk from Swinbroke, now Swinbrook, an Oxfordshire village two miles east of Burford. His Chronicle describes the events of the period 1303-1356: Gaveston, Bannockburn, Boroughbridge, the murder of King Edward II, the Scottish Wars, Sluys, Crécy, the Black Death, Winchelsea and Poitiers. To quote Herbert Bruce 'it possesses a vigorous and characteristic style, and its value for particular events between 1303 and 1356 has been recognised by its editor and by subsequent writers'. The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding. The translation takes as its source the 'Chronicon Galfridi le Baker de Swynebroke' published in 1889, edited by Edward Maunde Thompson. Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.

On 21st March 1918 Charles Waterhouse (age 27) was killed in action whilst serving with the 2nd/6th Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment.
The Battalion was in a line of posts running through the eastern outskirts of Bullecourt to the left of Horseshoe Redoubt. 'A' & 'B' in the front line, 'D' in support and 'C' in reserve in Railway Reserve Trench with Bn HQ. On the morning of 21st March a terrific bombardment was opened which became steadily more intense and the Battalion suffered heavy casualties. Through the mist came the first groups of the enemy, but 'C' in reserve could not advance to meet them because of the intensity of the barrage. 'A', 'B' and 'D' Companies were overwhelmed and 'C' Company was ordered to hold Railway Reserve Trench to the last, and under Capt Jordan made a stand. Battalion HQ was rushed and Lt Col Stuart Wortley (age 38) was killed. 'C' Company held on for as long as possible with the help of a few stragglers and wounded but was forced into Tank Trench where the enemy was found to be advancing in mass to the front but also up the trench in rear of the few survivors. "When this remnant had been obliterated by death or wounds, but not till then, the resistance of the Battalion ceased"
