(1, 'Zebrugge', 'At noon on St George''s Day, Sunday, April 23, Dovorians are welcome to attend a short, moving tribute. The mayor, in long-established tradition, will ring the Zeebrugge Bell from the Town Hall balcony. That weekend our Belgian friends in Zeebrugge will be showing their respects. Dover''s act of remembrance for the heroes of the Zeebrugge Raid is followed by wreath-laying for the fallen, buried in St James'' Cemetery.\r\n\r\nDuring the First World War the Dover Patrol performed many tasks, including mine-sweeping, escorting ships, and anti-submarine warfare. The Patrol won 13 Victoria Crosses and suffered grievous casualties, losing 2,000 men. A number of these are named on the war memorial outside the council offices.\r\n\r\nDover''s vital strategic role produced further staggering and heartbreaking statistics. More than four million troops were transported from our coast. Of those who survived the pitiless attrition of the trenches almost one and a quarter million returned wounded through Dover alone. The problems of logistics were massive. For example more than a million horses were shipped. To feed them required daily exports of 500 tons of fodder, more than the daily weight of ammunition.\r\n\r\nThe Zeebrugge Raid provides a microcosm of the slaughter and heroism. Belgium was German-occupied and enemy submarines from Ostende and Zeebrugge prowled the Channel. Our war cabinet knew that unless the submarine threat were reduced the war would be lost in 12 months through loss of shipping.\r\n\r\nHuge losses had been taken in attempts to take Passchendaele Ridge to command the enemy''s submarine bases with long-range gunfire. Bombing the inland docks at Bruge had failed due to the impregnability of the concrete submarine bunkers. From there these silent killers travelled the canal to Zeebrugge and out into the Channel. The harbour possessed one of the world''s longest breakwaters, heavily fortified with gun batteries.\r\n\r\nHence the need for the Zeebrugge Raid. This was commanded by Vice Admiral of the Fleet Roger Keyes from his flagship HMS Warwick. HMS Vindictive was the main raiding cruiser. The Iris and Daffodil carried boarding parties. Incredibly these two vessels were Mersey ferries, commandeered for their low draught and double hulls which made them difficult to sink. Added to the flotilla were two submarines, 34 motor launches, three concrete-filled blockships named Thetis, Intrepid, and Iphigenia, 15 coastal motorboats, and another 10 assorted vessels. Volunteers comprising 82 officers, 1,000 men, and 700 marines took part.\r\n\r\nThis strange armada sailed on April 22, 1918, to Keyes''s message "St George for England". Off Zeebrugge the expedition disembarked surplus blockship crews and cast off the submarines and other towed boats. Burning chemicals created smokescreens as the raid began.  Zeebrugge graves at St James, by Simon Chambers\r\n\r\nVindictive''s commander Captain Carpenter later said, "They literally poured projectiles into us." Under torrential close-range fire, prevailing currents prevented Vindictive abutting the breakwater, so Daffodil nudged her in. The submarines discharged men who blew up viaducts. The three blockships were scuttled and Zeebrugge was sealed, achieving the key objective. Eight VCs were awarded for the bravery of that night. The human cost was horrendous: in an hour 214 men were killed and 383 wounded.\r\n\r\nAs to the success or otherwise of the Zeebrugge Raid historians disagree. Beyond question however is that the canal was impassable for large vessels for three weeks. Is this how success is measured?\r\n\r\nThe valour of that night remains a shining example of courage, devotion, and dedication. It is difficult to comprehend such slaughter and hellishness, so perhaps information form our War Memorial Project helps personalise matters.\r\n\r\nAble Seaman Frederick William Bowlt of the Vindictive was one who died. His reward was grave reference PW12A in St James'' Cemetery. He was 19. He never returned to his grieving parents, William and Olive, of 17 Union Road, or to his local, The Greyhound. Neither did his brother Bartholomew, a Merchant Navy fireman, killed in 1915. Both are named on our war memorial.\r\n\r\nWhen passing our Town Hall read the inscription under the Zeebrugge Bell and spare a glance at the grappling hook, damaged by enemy fire, near our war memorial.\r\n\r\nEvery single Dover family suffered, on our behalf, at that time. This is why the bell will be rung. It is also, why, as Binyon said:\r\n\r\n"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;\r\nAge shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.\r\nAt the going down of the sun and in the morning\r\nWe will remember them."\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThis article first appeared in the Dover Express, p10, 6th April 2006\r\nreproduced with permission\r\n\r\nillustration:\r\nZeebrugge graves at St James cemetery, Dover', '2006-04-06', 5),

On 29 October 1915 he was discharged from the Depot Company, with the note that he was unlikely to become an efficient soldier. On 18 January 1916 he was charged with conduct likely to prejudice the good order of his camp. He had clearly been enjoying himself as his offence was "being in company with girls who were in a state of intoxication within the camp, and also being abroad with them". On 24 February 1916 he was charged with disobedience of orders after being warned, and with being absent without leave from 21 to 23 February. He was recommended for discharge from C Company, of the Depot Battalion, on 24 February 1916, and  discharged on 25 February. His Major said, "This man has been before me on three different occasions charged with offences of more or less serious nature; his character is undoubtedly bad.

After the war broke out he was engaged in coast defence work, and was a Director of Coast Defences, ranking as a major, and was at Lowestoft during the bombardment. He went to France in April last.\n\nAn officer has written to Mrs Sherren as follows:- "It was while in command of my Company that your husband''s portion of the line was subjected to the heaviest shelling from the enemy. He went out to see exactly what the situation was, when he was suddenly struck by a piece of shell.  His death was instantaneous and in consequence there was no pain.

The speaker added that, personally, he entertained for Captain Sherren feelings of admiration and personal regard, and on hearing the news, he felt that he had lost a personal friend, as well as the Council being deprived of the services of a valuable official.

On 8 June 1918, home from the Front for a month''s leave, he wed Minnie Ethel Hollaway at the Primitive Methodist church in London Road. She was the niece of Mr and Mrs Stephen Lewis, of Fernbank, 75 Barton Road. The groom''s parents lived at 9 Belgrave Road. The Rev Goldstraw officiated, while Minnie''s cousin Mr W S Lewis played the organ. Minnie wore a gown of white silk striped voile, with an embroidered veil, and her bouquet of lilies was a gift from the groom. He had also bought her a golden pendant. The bridesmaids wore white silk also, trimmed with lace, topped by mob caps with pink streamers, and they carried baskets of pink and white flowers.  A reception for thirty guests was held at the bride''s uncle''s house, and the honeymoon at Tunbridge Wells, with the bride wearing a navy blue costume and a pink hat.\n\nA fortnight later, on June 23, the newly-weds attended another ceremony at the Castle. BQMS Spinner had been awarded the Military Medal for especial bravery. This occasion was on 10 April 1917, at Vimy Ridge. He was serjeant of his company and there was a call for volunteers. Twenty men were needed to capture a couple of German guns. They did so and manned them, and within 700 yards of the German lines and under heavy fire, maintained them until both guns were knocked out of action. \n\nWilliam''s funeral was held on the afternoon of Saturday 16 November. The service began at 2.30 in the London Road Primitive Methodist Church, and the cortège then went to St James, where he is buried.

On the Sunday evening following his burial, the Rev W W Goldstraw, who had conducted the funeral, spoke of the life and death of BQMS Spinner. The hymns included his favourite, "Nearer my God to Thee", and "Abide with Me", which William Spinner had sung as a solo at the church the evening before he had returned to France at the end of his last leave.\n\nIt is possible that William Spinner was the uncle of Freddie Spinner.

That youth has come to claim his own again, That nothing beautiful that God has given Dies utterly - or gives his life in vain.
