(p) BAX, Company
Serjeant Major, WILLIAM HENRY, 8269, 2nd Bn, Oxford and Bucks Light
Infantry. He was born in 1888, the son of James Bax, a labourer, and
Emma Bax. He was christened at St Andrew, Deal, on 28 November 1888;
the family then lived at Lawn Cottages. William was the third of
their children to be baptised that year; his sister, Sarah Headwick
Amy, then aged 3½, born at Ringwould, had been baptised the
day before. On 10 March their brother, Augustus Edward, had been
baptised privately; sadly he died a few months later.
They had an older brother, Joseph Thomas, born on
25 June 1884 at Ripple. He joined the Royal Marines Light Infantry
on 22 July 1902, and died on 21 May 1915 after receiving a bullet
wound to his head on 9 May 1915. He is buried in the Chatby War
Memorial Cemetery, Alexandria, Egypt, M 146.
A younger brother, James Edward Bax, was born on 1
November 1889 at Sutton, and baptised on 3 April 1893 at St
Nicholas, Sholden. Becoming a farm labourer, he then seems to have
enlisted into the Buffs in August 1906 at Canterbury. He is then
described as having black hair and grey eyes and as 5' 3½" tall.
In October, possibly on 2nd, he joined the Oxford and Bucks Light
Infantry. In March 1908 he apparently moved to the Royal Marines;
however the date of birth given then was 2 September 1888. He was
invalided out on 7 July 1910, with a character described as very
good. He was back home in 1911, working as a farm carter.
Emily Edith Rose followed, born on 4 July
1895 at Sholden and christened on 10 November 1895, again at
St Nicholas. Sadly she too died young, in 1904 at the age of 8. She
is buried at Woodnesborough. Ellen Frances M was the last child born
to the family, at Wingham in 1898.
By 1901 the family were living at Polders,
Woodnesborough, having been recorded ten years previously at
Napchester Cottages, Northbourne. In 1911 they were still at
Woodnesborough, at The Street, and Mr Bax was a farm labourer.
William enlisted at Canterbury; on 10 April 1909
at St Mary, Woodnesborough, William married Charlotte Beatrice
Bailey, born on 14 May 1891 and the daughter of George Jeffrey
Bailey, a labourer, and his wife, Sarah Ann. William was then from
the parish of Cheriton. The couple had a son, Reginald, born in
Folkestone and christened on 19 October 1909 at Woodnesborough.
Reginald's parents were then living at 41 Warren Road, Folkestone,
with William a lance corporal in the Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry. By
1911 the family were at 17 Royal Military Avenue, Cheriton.
William died on 24 March 1918. He is commemorated
in Bay 6 or 7. His wife was then at 1 Upper Hillside, Buckland
Dover, and in 1939 was still at the same address. Also there was her
son John Gordon Bax, born 8 March 1923, an iron moulder, who died in
1983. Charlotte died in 1970 in the Folkestone area.
*Thanks to Andy, who has informed us that CSM
Bax's grave has now been identified. He lies in Delsaux Farm
cemetery, Beugny, Pas de Calais, France. The rededication service
for his grave: 23 March 2022
