Introduction
 | ***NEW WEBSITE***
The new site includes all the young men from the East Cleveland Area, covering Skelton, Boosbeck, Charltons, Margrove Park and Lingdale.
This information was kindly loaned to me from Stuart McMillan who in turn was given it by Tom Curnow, a well known local historian, who gathered local information and has had his work published.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank both men for all their time and effort in producing this information, and allowing me to add it to this site and create a new one.
The list below is of all the young men who went to war from 'Lingdale', their name, address and regiment they went into.
Sometimes names may appear twice in this list, the reason probably being - once injured and sent home to recover, they returned to a different regiment, they may even be found at different addresses due to their families moving home while they were away.
If you know of anyone who is missing from this list or you have any photographs of any of the men,(not necessarily in uniform) please get in contact with me, so that they too can be added to the site.

Bert Riddiough Songs request
Message from Julie Riddough
I have been told about my grt grt grandad writing songs for the national relief fund but no one seems to know anything about it.
I have recently acquired a print of these songs on a song sheet, the words are there but there is no sheet music. I would love to know if anyone has heard of them or has the music.
His name was Herbert Willie Riddiough (Bert) and he lived in Skelton for a while at 4 Hobdale Terrace, on the 1901 census he lived at Carney St. in Boosbeck and later on he lived at 1 Brittania Terrace Brotton.
Any information would be greatfully received.
Please contact Julie at brottonhistory@yahoo.co.uk

Only an Emblem
 | PATRIOTIC SONG
by Bert Riddiough
verse 1.
There's a wonderful emblem, Britannia's pride.
'Tis envied by powers on every side.
An old fashioned token, that's known shore to shore,
It enamours the wealthy, enraptures the poor.
It is not a creation to fade and decay,
Or yet like the fashions that change in a day;
In cottage or mansion, in lands o'er the foam,
All cherish this emblem, of England and home.
Chorus -
It's the emblem dear, that they all revere
Though it is not framed in gold,
It tells us of a nation's love,
'Tis prized by young and old.
Just a wreath of roses, thistles and shamrocks green,
It's and emblem of the loyal hearts
Surrounding our King and Queen.
verse 2.
Many sons of the Empire afloat on the foam
Are manning our 'Dreadnoughts' protecting our home;
Brave sons, ever vigilant, day time or night,
Just upholding the 'motto' "For god and my right",
Though seas may divide them, they're loyal and true,
United they stand by the Red, White and Blue.
Ever ready for action should danger be nigh,
For King and for Country, they're willing to die.
verse 3.
May success crown our soldiers, so fearless and bold,
Who leave wives and children our honour to hold
When called to defend us, both parting and pain
Is borne by the brave, in our Sailor King's name;
With the Scotch and the Welsh, whatso'er may betide
They'll care for the wounded, be he comrade or foe,
For England they'll conquer, but surrender, NO!
Music for the above words by Bert Riddough & Tennant Walker.
Featured by the THREE NORMANS, in their up--to-date "Song Scena".

Life's grim Battle
 | or 'Stretch forth you hard to the needy'
by Bert Riddiough
Verse 1.
Unwelcome may be poverty, misfortune hard to bear,
But a kindly action, turns the wanderer home.
Yet many in prosperity have neither thought nor care
For those in need, who are friendless and alone.
Adversity spings on us, like a thief from out the night,
No thought of station, hearing not the door,
'Tis better far to give, than to have to receive
And a little means so much, to starving poor.
Chorus -
Stretch forth your hand to the needy,
Help cheer them on life's way
Don't join the ranks of the greedy.
Every poor dog has his day.
You may have to fight life's grim battle
Let your better nature hold sway
And do unto them, as you'd like them to do,
Unto you, when you're feeble and grey.
Verse 2.
'Tis not the rich and powerful, that claim their hearts desire,
"uneasy rests the head beneath the crown,"
There is many a mighty monarch, would don your plain atire
And in your humble cottage settle down.
The miser with his shining gold, sits gloating day by day,
No single earthly pleasure doth he share,
The envious greed and gain, only drives the wretch insane,
Out of plenty, not a little, will he spare.
verse 3.
The Cottage of an Englishman's his castle, which he'll hold.
For home and kindred he would give his life.
Like ancestors before him, in the days when knights were bold,
Who fought and bled for us 'midst battle's strife.
Old England's name must be upheld, as in the days of yore
The many sacrifices nobly done,
The children of the slain, must never plead in vain,
There's a duty for true Britons, to be done.
Music for the above words, by Bert Riddiough and Tennant Walker
