Great War 1917 Casualty Royal Sussex Regiment Memorial Plaque, Bronze memorial plaque awarded to “JOHN ENTICKNAP”. Remains in good condition.Lance Corporal John Enticknap was born on 12th January 1896 in Kirdford, West Sussex. He was educated at Plaistow and Kirdford schools. He enlisted in the Royal Sussex regiment in 1914. He was serving with the 13th (Service) Battalion Royal Sussex regiment when he died of wounds at No2 Canadian Casualty Clearing station on 14th March 1917. His commanding officer wrote to his parents, “I am sure it will be some light comfort for you to know that your son died game, and from what I know of your boy, I am convinced that he was a good true son to you. On one occasion, when the enemy made a bombing attack on our trenches, your son carried himself with the utmost coolness and bravery. He threw his bomb to such good effect that his splendid conduct was largely responsible for frustrating the enemy’s attack. It was at this time that I myself so thoroughly appreciated his sterling qualities for his prompt and determined action, which completely inspired his comrades.” Lance Corporal Enticknap is buried at Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery, Belgium.

The Spooner lithograph depicts the 17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridge's Own). This was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, raised in 1759 and notable for its participation in the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War. The regiment was amalgamated with the 21st Lancers to form the 17th/21st Lancers in 1922. Known as the 'Death or Glory Boys', their cap badge is a skull and crossbones. After further amalgamation with the 16th/5th The Queen's Royal Lancers in 1993, they now form the Queen's Royal Lancers. The first caricature shows two officers in dress uniform; one is a Life Guard or Dragoon, the other a Hussar. They are both drunkenly déshabillé and are presumably returning from the Waterloo banquet at Apsley House. The second item illustrates a scene on a high-road passing through a village. The velocipede rider is being attacked by a vet and a blacksmith, both of whom regard mechanical transport as a threat to their livelihoods. The vet squirts a large syringe into the mouth of the dandy whilst the blacksmith smashes the velocipede with a large hammer. In the middle distance, another rider is attacked by a man with a pitchfork.
