Grenadier Guards - Machine Gun Guards :
It's highly likely that the 5 Machine Gun Guards below were a 4 man team plus the officer in command that were wiped out when their gun was hit by an enemy shell. They were the only Machine Gun Guards to die that first day ...

 

" ... The section of the Machine Gun Company which followed the second Battalion during this advance suffered very much from shell-fire. Lieutenant Cottle, the officer in command, was killed whilst going forward to reconnoitre, and shortly afterwards one of the guns of this section with its entire team was knocked out by a shell ..."
p. 232 of Vol 2, 'The Grenadier Guards in the Great War of 1914 - 1918' by Lieut.-Colonel Sir Frederick Ponsonby pub. 1920

In total, 465 Grenadiers died and 32 Machine Gun Guards over the course of the Battle of 3rd Ypres.

NOTE 1:
The total number of 444 men, above, is the absolute minimum. The names and details of many of the above mentioned men were identified as a result of searches on the CWGC website using filters for 'home locations', the relevant dates and location of memorials and cemeteries; and for our local battalions (24th, 1st/10th and 2nd/10th Manchesters). However, a significant number wouldn't be identifed because a 'home location' wasn't included. However, a search of the newspapers produced over 100 more men. The results of this search, undertaken some years ago by Sue Smith, at the Local Studies, are available for reference.

Unfortunately, many injured men would be hospitalised at a distance from the Ypres area and die of their wounds at a later date ... consequently few of these men could be identified for the above list.
Those men deemed 'local', above, were either born in, lived in, had some other connection with our area or had their death reported in the local newspaper.

NOTE 2:
Early recruits to the 2nd 10th Battalion, The Manchesters, were drawn from the local Oldham area but, by 1917, this had changed a great deal ... the battalion had trained and provided many of the replacement drafts to the 1st 10th battalion and also 350 men in 1916 to diverse regiments on the Somme; local voluntary recruitment had fallen away; and the 2nd 10th battalion was well under strength. Many of the battalion's new recruits were conscripts from many areas across Lancashire and sometimes even further afield; some were men who had had their applications for exemption refused by a tribunal; and others, men who at an earlier date had been been deemed physically unfit to serve.
