Second Lieutenant - 59 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, and Royal Horseand Royal Field Artillery
Living at 6 Murray St, Burnley, at the time of the 1901 Census.
There is a reference to Andrew Ormerod in the London Gazette of 17March 1916. On 7 November 1915 Andrew was promoted to Temporary SecondLieutenant, having been a Sergeant-Major in the East LancashireBrigade, Royal Field Artillery.
Died on Friday 13 April 1917, age 27 - according to the CommonwealthWar Graves Debt of Honour Register.
Son of John and Jane Ormerod of 128 Colne Rd, Burnley.
His name is on the Arras Flying Services Memorial, Pas de Calais,France.
59 Squadron formed at Narborough in 1916 as a reconnaissance squadron.Equipped with R.E.8s it departed for France in 1917 only to be caughtup in the bloody air war of April 1917, when it sustained very heavylosses - life expectancy was then no more than 23 days.
Andrew Ormerod was an observer, and on 13 April 1917 he was in R.E.8A3225, flown by Lt Arthur Horace Tanfield.
At this time 59 Squadron, Coudry, formed part of 3 Brigade, 12 CorpsWing, based at Cagnicourt.The following information was taken fromhttp://www.theaerodrome.com/aircraft/gbritain/raf/re8.html:
"On the morning of 13 April 1917, 59 Squadron's ill fated flight ofsix R.E.8s was on a photo-reconnaissance mission near Douai when itencountered Jasta 11. All six R.E.8s were shot down within a matter ofminutes, one of them becoming Manfred von Richthofen's forty firstvictory."The R.E.8 shot down by Manfred von Richthofen was crewed by JamesStuart and Maurice Wood, according to information onhttp://www.aviationartprints.com/world_war_1.htm.
Prof. Dr George Wegener, a correspondent for Die Koelnische Zeitung,was at La Baryelle with Jasta 11 when the British R.E.8s were spotted.He wrote:
"All of a sudden - I myself saw not the slightest movement up in theclear blue - quickly he [Richthofen] turned to a bell hanging nearbyand sounded the alarm. In an instant all of the mechanics ran to theirmachines; each pilot hurried to his own [aircraft], climbed into theseat, [as] the propellers thundered, [and] one after the other thesmall fast aeroplanes ran along a stretch of the ground, lifted up andquickly climbed up into the blue. The last one was Richthofen'smachine.
The flyers remaining behind, the groundcrewmen, the orderlies andsentries - all followed with the greatest excitement the events in thesky. Now I recognised, first through the telescope and then withoutit, a squadron of British aircraft; at least six, perhaps more. I hadto watch them very closely, otherwise I would lose them in theglimmering brightness.
The flyers [on the ground] saw other things. They recognised and namedthe various types and they shouted indignantly: "What nerve! They comeover here at barely 2,000 metres! What do they think they are doing?"
Peter Kilduff in The Red Baron continues to describe how the object ofattention was a flight of six R.E.8s from 59 Squadron en route to theDrocourt-Queant switch line. Two were photo-reconnaissance aircraft,the other four were escorts.
Just over Vitry, 8km southwest of the German airfield, fighters fromJastas 4 and 11 attacked the two-seaters. In a brief encounter, allsix went down and were recorded as Rittm Manfred von Richthofen's 41staerial victory, Ltn Kurt Wolff's tenth, Vzfw Sebastian Festner'sninth, Ltn Lothar von Richthofen's fourth and fifth, and the sixthvictory of Ltn.d.Res Hans Klein of Jasta 4.
Richthofen later wrote how the sight of one of the aircraft crashingto the ground, burning like a rocket, has shocked the reporter on theground.
Following this battle Richthofen's aircraft showed signs of damage.Wegener describes how "An enemy machine-gun burst hit the lower leftwing and the fabric for about a metre and a half looked like it hadbeen slashed open by the swipe of a big knife. And on the outer woodencovering close to the pilot's seat ran a second scar showing thatanother shot came close to taking his life."David Ormerod Baxter found a press cutting about Andrew Ormerod fromThe Burnley Express. It refers to the memorial service for him at StAndrew's Church.
"MEMORIAL SERVICE: On Sunday morning a service was held at St.Andrew's Church in memory of two soldiers connected with the Churchand schools. These were 2nd Lieut. A. Ormerod, R.F.A., attached to theR.F.C. and Pte, J. T Wearne, Loyal North Lancs. Regt.
Particulars of both have appeared in the Express The former came ofold Burnley Lane and Worsthorne families, and fourteen relatives haveserved their country, one of whom had previously made the "supremesacrifice, and two others have been wounded. There was a largecongregation at the memorial service, and besides immediate relativesof the deceased soldiers, and Q.M. S. McWhinnie, of the E.L.R., therewere representatives of the Overlookers' Association, the Overlookersat Byerden Mills, where Lieut. Ormerod was employed before the war,members of St Andrews Church St. Andrew's Conservative Club, St.Andrew's B. and C.C. and Freemasons.
Floral tributes from Mrs. Ormerod and the family and the Freemasonsadorned the altar.
At the commencement of the service, Mr. Bridge played Chopin's "MarcheFunebre," and at the close impressively rendered the Dead
March in "Saul." The Rev. W Parks- Bradbury, the curate preached thesermon, and in appropriate terms referred to the deceased and theservices they had rendered to the church etc., and expressed thesympathy of the congregation with their relatives. "David Baxter states that this is thought to be 26 October 1917.
There are two entries relating to Andrew in the Soldiers Died in theGreat War Database - one showing him serving with the Royal FlyingCorps (59 Squadron), and the other showing him serving with the RoyalHorse Artillery and Royal Field Artillery, but confirming that he wasattached the Royal Flying Corps as a Temporary Second Lieutenant. Bothentries confirm that Andrew was killed in action on 13 April 1917.
