letter sent by Edwin Hood
William Allan Hill was killed in Action on D Day 6/6/1944, I remember him coming home on what was probably embarkation leave 1944. I was 13 at the time, and I am nearly certain that his parents lived in Coral Street. I would imagine of joining the Army he would go into the 4th battalion which had always been the local one, then transferred to the 6th Battalion when it was being reformed. A very interesting fact is that he would probably be alongside C.S.M./ Stanley Hollis who was the only soldier to win the Victoria Cross on D.Day.
Inceidentally C.M.S. Hollis was born in Loftus and ran a pub at Liverton Mines after the war.
Lance Serjeant Hill or Allan as I think he was called was to the best of my knowledge the only soldier from Lingdale to be killed in the 2nd World War.

BAYEUX WAR CEMETERY
 | 000421
Country: France
Locality: Calvados
Location Information: The town of Bayeux, in Normandy, lies 24 kilometres north-west of Caen. Bayeux War Cemetery is situated in the south-western outskirts of the town on the by-pass, which is named Rue de Sir Fabian Ware. On the opposite side of the road stands the Bayeux Memorial.
Historical Information: The Allied offensive in north-western Europe began with the Normandy landings of 6 June 1944. There was little actual fighting in Bayeux although it was the first French town of importance to be liberated. Bayeux War Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth cemetery of the Second World War in France and contains burials brought in from the surrounding districts and from hospitals that were located nearby. BAYEUX WAR CEMETERY contains 4,144 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 338 of them unidentified. There are also 504 war graves of other nationalities, the majority German. The BAYEUX MEMORIAL stands opposite the cemetery and bears the names of more than 1,800 men of the Commonwealth land forces who died in the early stages of the campaign and have no known grave. They died during the landings in Normandy, during the intense fighting in Normandy itself, and during the advance to the River Seine in August.
No. of Identified Casualties: 4267

Mobilisation of the 4th Batt Green Howards
MOBILISATION OF THE 4TH BATTALION THE GREEN HOWARDS IN 1939 AND THOSE TAKEN PRISIONER OF WAR FROM LINGDALE.
The 4th Battalion mobilised in October 1939 and probably took place at Scarborough.
This affected a lot of local lads who had joined the Green Howard Territorials before the war, probably for the bounty they were paid and the yearly camp, so they were obviously well trained before they became full time soldiers.
They moved to the Cotswolds, a delightful place called Chipping Campden, under the command of Lt. Col. C.N. Littleboy MC.
On the 17th of January 1940 the battalion were inspected by the King and embarked at Southampton on the 25th January en route for France. Landing the next day at Cherbourg.
They eventually were billeted in the village of Wavrin in the vicinity of Lille, other places they went to were Vimy and Arras, all places that the 4th Battalion fought over in the First World war.
They fought in this area until the 16th May 1940 and then began the retreat to Dunkirk, finally reaching the outskirts of the town on or about the 2 June 1940.
During this 2 week period, quite a lot of the 4th Battalion were taken prisoner of war. I know of two from Lingdale, my cousin Pte. John Henry Hood, known as Jack, who lived at Moorcock and L/Cpl Ben Keeler, who I think lived in Tyreman Street.
They both ended up in STALAG XXA in Poland to spend 5 long years as prisoners. I would imagine they would be released by the Russian Army.
After the war my cousin Jack built a shop in Moorcock roughly opposite the photograph of the young girls called Lingdale Pals.

Spotlight at Lockwood Beck
 | 000426
Information kindly sent in by Edwin Hood
The search light was actually at Kateridden, I used to go there every Sunday to deliver the papers.
It would probably be 1940 - 1941 when the camp and Nisen Huts were erected for the searchlight crew. The men who came to man it were originally in the Northumberland Fusilliers. These soldiers used to come into Lingdale and socalise with the locals and this is how I got to know them. My father was Platoon Sergeant in the home guard and used to invite them back to our house, one of them eventually becoming my brother in law (still alive and well living is Stafford) age 85.
I can remember some of the names of the soldiers who were stationed there:
Sgt John Mercer
Sgt Luke Mercer
Gnr Thomas Maddocks
Gnr Stanley Gray
Pte Enoch Swann
To get to the site I used to walk to the top of Wilkinson Street, over a stile into Griffiths field to the allotments, through them until you reached the moors, then you followed a path on the left hand side towards a large house known as 'The house', it was empty at the time and local legend had it that it was haunted. I don't know if it was but it certainly looked spooky. At this point you crossed the road over a couple of fields to get to the site. It was known as 4018 Royal Searchlight Battery, Royal Artillery.
There was certainly one large searchlight, an Oerlikon gun and also a rocket launcher. I think the site disbandoned about 1944 when they all went to France after D-Day.
