CHATHAM DOCKYARD ACCIDENT

Source: The Times, Thursday 13 Aug 1896, pg.10

Naval and Military Intelligence
A serious accident happened at Chatham Dockyard late on Tuesday by which five men were more or less seriously injured. About 60 of the crew of the Empress of India, battleship, Capt. Angus MacLeod, were engaged in returning old stores and drawing fresh supplies, and for the purposes of this work a train, consisting of an engine and four long trollies, was proceeding from the Gun Wharf to the ship, when one of the trollies jumped the points and overturned. The truck was laden with drums of oil, on which a number of the sailors were riding. The men were thrown with great force to the ground and the drums rolled over several of them. It was found that five of their number - Richard Dibdin, A.B., A. Sims, boy, A. Richardson, O.S., W. Peacock, O.S., and H. Allen, sailmaker – were injured. Dibdin, who received severe internal injuries, and Sims, who sustained a fractured skull, besides other injuries, had to be removed to Melville Hospital, where they are lying in a critical condition. The other three men, who were badly confused, were taken on board ship. The engine and the first trolley passed over the points safely, and as the train was proceeding at slow speed the driver was able to pull up immediately the accident happened.

WORLD WAR 1 MEDAL ROLL INDEX

Source: National Archives - DocumentsOnline

The Medal Rolls Index, known as the Medal Index Cards (MIC), was created by the Army Medal Office (AMO) towards the end of the First World War. The index was created to enable the AMO to place on one card, all of the details about an individual's medal entitlement. As almost every officer and soldier, man and woman who saw active service overseas received a campaign medal, it essentially forms the most complete "roll-call" of those who served.
