SMITH,
Serjeant, AUGUSTUS JAMES, 270918, 1st Bn, Hertfordshire Regiment.
KIA 23 August 1918. Age 29. Son of William and Roseta
Smith of Aldermaston, Reading; husband of Louisa Matilda Olive Smith of 5 Youdens Court, Market St, Dover. B 18.
Born in the parish of St Helen's, Abingdon,
Berkshire, Augustus was working as a carter, with skills also as a
groom, when he enlisted into
the Royal Berkshire regiment on 11 June 1907. Then he was 5 feet 3.5
inches tall and 8 stone 9 pounds in weight, later growing to 5 feet
6 inches and to 10 stone 13 pounds. He had hazel eyes and dark hair,
and was Church of England. His father was then described as living
at The Park, Aldermaston, and Augustus had three brothers; his elder
being Herbert, and his two younger being Francis and Charles.
Augustus was sent to Dublin on 2 October 1907,
and from there to Curragh Camp on 18 February 1908. He suffered from
tonsillitis and laryngitis in 1908. On 14 May 1909 he was
confined to barracks for 10 days for not complying with an order and
making an improper reply to an NCO, and on 4 March 1910 confined for
14 days for using obscene language to an NCO.
On 5 October 1910 he was sent to Dover and,
possibly as the result of 'flu, suffered from pleurisy between 1
February 1911 and 4 March 1911. He was then a private, stationed at
Guston. At the Dover Registry Office on 16 December 1911, Augustus
married Louisa Matilda Olive Whiles. She was a sister to
Thomas Percy Whiles.
The couple had four children; The first, born on
19 May 1912, was Louisa Ellen Mary. She was followed in 1913 by
Dorothy W., who died very shortly after her birth. A son, Francis
Augustus James, was born on 13 April 1914; shortly after his birth,
on 26 August 1914, Augustus was sent to France with the British
Expeditionary Force. Another daughter, Winifred Dorothy, was born on
5 January 1916. Three months after this, on 19 April 1916, Augustus
was sent home to hospital with appendicitis; his appendix was
removed but he continued suffering problems until 20 July 1916. He
eventually returned to the Front on 12 October 1917.
Around August 1918 Mrs Smith moved from 44 Albany
Place, where she had perhaps been since April that year, to 5
Youden's Court. On 2 September 1918, she received a letter from
Augustus' officer stating that Augustus had been killed. She wrote
to ask for further information and whether this report could be
confirmed. Sadly it was, and in Mrs Smith was eventually sent
Augustus' victory and war medals, followed by the 1914 star.
Mrs Smith remarried in late 1919 in Dover to
Herbert Frank Voller. They had seven children; Thomas J in 1920,
Kathleen M around 1923, Herbert W F in 1926, Zenia V in 1929,
Patricia O J in 1931, and Doreen P in 1935. In 1939, as war began
again, Mrs Voller and the younger children were picking hops in the
Swale area, staying in Hop Hut 122. Mr Voller, a boiler-cleaner and
a member of the Mercantile Marine War Services List, remained at
home at 25 Astor Avenue with the eldest child, Thomas, a former
officers' steward on SS Matakana.
Mrs Voller died in 1981 in Dover.
