M.I.D. London Gazette 18 May 1917
M.S.M. London Gazette 18 January 1919:
‘For valuable service rendered with the Armies in France and Flanders.’
Horace George Buckley was born at Torquay, Devon in 1876. A Master Printer by trade he previously served with the Devon and Somerset Royal Engineers Volunteers before enlisting into the Devon Fortress Royal Engineers on the formation of the Territorial Army on 3 April 1908. Awarded his Territorial Force Efficiency Medal in 1912 he was embodied at Plymouth as Corporal 567 Devon (Army Troops) Company Royal Engineers in August 1914. Embarking for France on 24 March 1915 and promoted Sergeant he is recorded in the Company War Diary for 23 February 1917 at Coigneux on the Somme: ‘Sgt Buckley and 14 Sappers proceeded to Colin Camps for work on pipe line to Ellis Square’. The award of his Meritorious Service Medal may in some manner be linked to this specific mention in the War Diary.
Hospitalised with Jaundice and a Hernia in September 1918, Buckley was evacuated to England for treatment at Liverpool before being transferred to the Western Hospital, Torquay. Disembodied at Chatham 26 March 1919 he returned to his home address Union Street, Torquay to resume his employment in the printing trade. He died at Torquay on 18 September 1951, aged 74.
Sold with copied service records and other research.
