July 1st 1916 - Capt. (Temp.) Charles Berjew Brooke D.S.O 2nd BN. Alexander Princess of Wales (Yorkshire Regiment) Attached 1st Bn. Queen’s from Special Reserve - Killed in Action 1st July 1916, aged 21, buried Peronne Road Cemetery, Maricourt, Somme. The Moving and Heart-Felt Handwritten ‘Last Letter’ of Captain Brooke written in ink on blue notepaper and folded dated Friday 30/6/16 Capt. Charles Berjew Brooke was born on the 7thMarch 1895 at Colne House, Brantham on River Stour, Suffolk, the only son of Mr Charles Berjew Brooke, an industrialist who manufactured xylonite, i.e. celluloid. To avoid confusion, the younger Charles was known in the family as Carl. He had a connection with Wales, because his mother Gwenddolen was the sister of Mrs Gertrude Bailey of Stelvio Newport, a ladyprominent in her own right, and married to Mr Charles Henry Bailey of the Tyne Engine Works at Newport and Barry.Carl was educated at Colchester Grammar School, followed by a preparatory school, Bilton Grange near Rugby, and Bradfield College, Berks. He was interested in becoming a soldier from an early age, an interest stimulated by living near to the military town of Colchester, but a bout of diphtheria prevented him from taking part in strenuous exercise. Instead, to his great joy, he was taught rifle shooting, and was sent to represent the school at Bisley. He was allowed to join the college O.T.C., and awarded his certificate A in 1911, with extra marks for originality, and he left on the 31stof July 1913 with the rank of Colour Sergeant.Carl must have had a flair for languages, as well as science, because he continued his education by studying chemistry in Berlin. Here he eagerly read as many German military books as he could find, including the German Field Service Book, as he intended to sit for the Army Interpreters’ Examination. He thought that every man should be trained, as he was sure that Germany intended to go to war against Britain, and at the end of July 1914, 6 days before war broke out between Britain and Germany, he returned home.On his return, he applied for a commission in the Suffolk Special Reserve. To his disappointment, he was posted to 3rdBn. Norfolk Reg. in August 1914, but soon transferred to 3rd. Bn. Suffolk Reg. On Sept. 4thhe was appointed a temporary Capt., dating from August 14th. During his training he was marked top out of about thirty who joined with him. He was not to stay with them for long because in December he was attached to the 1stBn. The Queen’s (Royal West Surrey’s) and with 200 other reinforcements was sent out to France to replace the heavy losses they had suffered. In his letters home he described how well behaved his men were when they arrived in France, but he observed, rather wryly, that it could have been because they hadn’t been paid for a fortnight. He also commented on the wild Welsh and Scots who jumped out of the train at every halt and then raced after the train and got in anywhere, causing a lot of trouble and necessitating an all change at the next stop.During his time at the Front he was able to make good use of his German, and he seems to have enjoyed his conversations with the prisoners who were brought in. He was also quite taken with their helmets, but felt that it would hardly have been polite to bag the poor men’s hats. He also used his time to improve his French, and says that he has a good grasp of Frenglish. He wrote home quite regularly, with detailed descriptions of life in the trenches. He made light of the fact that he had been shelled quite frequently, describing the sound as being like water poured into a big jug from a tapIn June, the War Office wrote to his Colonel asking whether he would recommend Lt. Brooke for a full Captaincy, but the Col. Replied that he had Not enough service. The London Gazette for Sept. 4th.1915 records: Suffolk Regiment - Lieutenant to be Captain Charles B. Brooke, dating from August 14th, 1915.On the morning of 25thSept.1915, he was in action with the 1stBn. The Queen’s at La Bassee, near Givenchy. All the other officers of B and D companies were killed, leaving him in command of the two companies, as well as some men from the H.L.I. and Oxford L.I. as they rushed the German trenches. Encouraged by the 19-year-old officer, they used up all their supply of bombs as well as those of the Germans before being driven back. Although wounded, Carl was the last to leave the trench, and it was reported that before leaving, he emptied his revolver at the advancing Germans, then threw the empty gun at a German officer, knocking him over.He was wounded twice, once in the face which tore his cheek and mouth and knocked out two teeth and a serious chest wound, which fortunately, did not damage his lungs. He was admitted to 3rd. General Hospital at Le Treport.On October 1st, he was sent to Alexandra Hospital for Officers, Millfield Lane, Highgate, London. In January 1916, he was mentioned in despatches, and on 14thhe was awarded a D.S.O. for this action. The staff and works people from the village made a presentation to him for bringing honour to the village. His response was typically modest, he said I was one of the lucky ones. Of course, I am glad to have won the D.S.O., but I want you to think of all those men who will not get anything, and who have deserved a decoration over and over again. He was invited to transfer to the Queen’s, and would have been happy to serve with them as a Lieutenant, but the Army had other plans.In Feb. 1916 he was chosen for a commission in the Regular Army but it was in the Yorkshire Regiment, (The Green Howards’). Capt. Charles B. Brooke, D.S.O. was to be Sec. Lt., but to retain his higher rank until he joined a Regular Unit. In April 1916 he was sent to the 2nd. Battalion, which was serving with the 30th. division in France. He soon settled down to trench work, saying that his men were the best in the battalion, good at sticking things and quite equal to the Queen’s. He said I wouldn’t be pushed out of this regiment now. He was offered the chance of being trained as a staff officer, but said that he did not think he would be a success at it.On the 1stJuly 1916, the 30thDivision was to take Montauban. At 7.30a.m. the battalion was in Headquarters Avenue Trench with a battle strength of 24 officers and 688 other ranks who were to be responsible for occupying and consolidating the German front and support lines once they had been captured.Carl was in command of A company, as it, advanced with B company under heavy machine gun fire, followed shortly by C and D. Brooke was mortally wounded in the stomach, remaining alive just long enough for the stretcher bearers to reach the medical officer. His servant, Pte. Readman, reported his death, and that he had been buried at Bois de Talus Cemetery, near Carnoy. Lt.Col. Walter F. Young, commanding 2nd. Yorkshire Regiment wrote movingly of Carl as a great favourite with all of us, and tried to reassure the family that he had not seemed to be in pain from his wound, and had been able to speak to the doctor before he died, as well as telling the stretcher bearers that it was hard lines being hit in the stomach. Col. Young said that he was most grieved at his loss, but had died as he would have liked to do. He wrote to Carl’s mother, saying that he felt his loss more than that of any other officer, calling him the cheeriest and best of good fellows, and describing their mutual enthusiasm for the works of Rudyard Kipling.On July 3rd1916, it was announced that 2nd. Lt. C.B. Brooke, D.S.O., was to be Temp. Capt. In Yorkshire Regiment, dated from May 16th. 1916. His father, at the request of the family, published extracts from some of his son’s letters.
