BURDETT was born on 16 Jun 1892 in Ingbirchworth, Yorkshire.
In 1911 he was a Weaver in Denby Dale, Yorkshire. In 1911 he was
a Double Plush Weaver in Denby Dale, Yorkshire. From 30 Oct 1916
to 7 Dec 1917 he was a Grenadier Guardsman (No. 27575) in Ypres (Passchendaele),
Flanders, Belgium. He enlisted on the 30th October 1916. All his
overseas service was as Guardsman 27575 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards. The Guards
were regarded as being among the elite units of the British Army. Unfortunately
no service record survives but the cross-referencing of available records indicates
that his first overseas service would have been about the second quarter of 1917.
This was just in time for the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards (part of the British
Expeditionary Force, Fifth Army, XIV Corps) to take part in the Third Battle
of Ypres – commonly known as the Battle of Passchendaele. General Sir Douglas
Haig’s main aim was a breakthrough to the coast of Belgium so that the German
submarine pens could be destroyed as the current losses of merchant shipping
could not be sustained. The Fifth Army under General Hubert Gough led the opening
attack from Ypres at 03.50am on 31st July 1917. To their left was a corps of
the French First Army and to their right was 1 Corps of Sir Herbert Plumer’s
Second Army. As was the norm for any major Allied offensive, a heavy artillery
barrage (consisting of some 3,000 guns firing 4.25 million shells) had been launched
at the German lines from 18th to 28th July and so the Germans were fully prepared
for the Allied attack. The Grenadier Guards were at the northern end of the divisional
line-up.
31st July – 2nd August 1917 - The Battle of Pilckem - first phase of the Third Battle of Ypres. The 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards advanced and gained the Pilckem Ridge. Further attempts to renew the offensive were severely hampered by the onset of heavy rains, the heaviest in 30 years, which churned the Flanders lowland soil into a thick muddy swamp. (Ironically the very force of the preliminary bombardment had itself destroyed drainage systems.) Tanks got stuck. The shell craters had filled with water and did not allow advancing men the opportunity to hide in them. Attacks were called off and did not resume until September. Siegfried Sassoon wrote: I died in Hell (they called it Passchendaele) my wound was slight and I was hobbling back; and then a shell burst slick upon the duckboards; so I fell into the bottomless mud, and lost the light. 17th September – 20th September 1917 - The Battle of the Menin Road – third phase of the Third Battle of Ypres. The assault of the Guards was a small but significant gain in the small scale battles to take possession of the ridge east of Ypres. 9th October 1917 - The Battle of Poelcappelle – sixth phase of the Third Battle of Ypres. Despite the return of heavy rain, Haig ordered further attacks towards the Passchendaele Ridge. The Guards attack was unsuccessful. As well as the heavy mud, the advancing British soldiers had to endure mustard gas attacks. 12th October 1917 The First battle of Passchendaele – seventh phase of the Third Battle of Ypres. Once again the attempted Allied breakthrough failed to materialise. It was on either 9th or 12th October 1917 that Ernest William Burdett was wounded. (The village of Passchendaele was finally taken on 6th November 1917. The Third battle of Ypres had been very costly. For the sake of a few kilometres, the British had 310,000 casualties. Sir Douglas Haig was severely criticised for continuing the attacks long after the operation had lost any real strategic value.) Ernest William Burdett was discharged from the Grenadier Guards on 7th December 1917. The cause of discharge was stated as “Wounds” and his age was noted as 25½ years. As was quite usual during the war no record of the exact injury was kept officially. The soldiers who died were merely recorded as “Killed in Action” or “Died of Wounds” but their next of kin would have received a letter from the Commanding Officer. This would have overwhelmed the system. Ernest’s Commanding Officer, Henry Stratford, merely noted the discharges due to “Wounds” or “Sickness”. On the page of twelve discharges on which Ernest was mentioned, eight were “Wounds” and only the four discharged through “Sickness” warranted a one word explanation - kidney, pneumonia, sunstroke and neurasthenia. (Neurasthenia meant “shell shock”.) In fact Ernest was injured when a bullet went through his leg above his ankle, a “Blighty Wound” . He was brought back to England and a photograph was taken of him when he went to convalesce in Bournemouth. On discharge he was immediately sent the Silver War Badge and Certificate number 279,369. He was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal on 28th January 1920.

He was called to his assistance to apprehend smugglers of two four gallon casks of Holland Geneva. There were eighteen to twenty men in all (armed with sticks) and Godfrey Burdett was ordered to fire with both pistols. His own testimony follows:- "GODFREY BURDETT sworn. I was on a visit to Mr. Brock in April last, at his house, I am an officer's son, not an officer; on the 24th of April last, we went to the bottom of the orchard, and when we came to the cottage house I heard Carter say, down with your tubs, I directly retreated to the bottom of the orchard, I saw Carter and Brock have hold of a man, and Brock came back and said, there are some more men in the road, Carter and me went up to the Roebuck and turned back, and a man followed Carter and us, some blows passed between Carter and Brock and the man got away into the road, I did not rightly see him, then we went into the road, and Carter and I directly went up towards the Roebuck, thinking to meet more as we saw some men up the road, I cannot tell the number that were there then, more gathered together after to the amount of eighteen or twenty, a man followed Mr. Carter and I down, he swore we should not have the tubs, I cannot tell who he was, there were more men behind him that were up the road, some blows passed between Carter and the foremost man, and then they directly cried out, it is only Brock and his men, and they directly jumped into a hop-garden and broke down the poles, and came over into the road again. Had these people you saw when you first went up, or had they not any sticks before they went into the orchard? - They had sticks, very large sticks, such as the footpads walk with. What size might they be? - About the bigness of a fork stave. Do you know how many people you saw at first? - I do not. Were there more than three? - Yes, six or seven. How many of these six or seven were armed with sticks? - I cannot tell, more than three or four had sticks, one man came rather before the rest, swearing we should not have the tubs; and he struck with a stick at Mr. Carter, and Mr. Brock; and Mr. Carter knocked that man down, whoever he was, on the bank; I did not know any of the men, I was quite a stranger to the country; after that they said it was only Brock with his men. What did they do then? - They went into the hop-yard for the poles, then they came into the road again, and cried d - n their eyes murder them; and then Brock said he would fire on them, and they said, fire on, and be d - d; directly Mr. Brock ordered to fire, and we did fire; my pistols were loaded with slugs, and the others with balls, and they cried fire on, and be d - d; after that Mr. Brock turned and fired his pistol, then we were forced to retreat, and they threw their sticks at us, and one of them hit me on the arm and leg. Mr. Garrow. There had been a scuffle between the officers and men, who were carrying the casks? - Yes, when I came down, that was in the orchard of the Roebuck. How many yards off the house? - About ten or twenty yards. Did you make a great deal of bustle in that scuffle? - No, not much, I was not down at first; I heard Carter say, down with your tubs."

The original text gives a flavour of the evidence given "RICHARD HARNELL, otherwise LITTLE DICK, was again indicted for obstructing, on the 31st of July, in the 37th year of his Majesty's reign, Godfrey Burdett, an officer of the Excise; and Orris Gooch , an officer of the Customs; being on shore in the due execution of their respective offices, in seizing and securing five hundred gallons of foreign geneva, liable to be seized by them . (The indictment was stated by Mr. Jackson, and the case opened by Mr. Attorney General). GODFREY BURDETT sworn. - Examined by Mr. Fielding. I am an Excise-officer, at Yoxford: On the 31st of July, 1797. I went to a place called the Cross-bow, between Yoxford and Wangford, we had intelligence of a parcel of smugglers; Mr. Gooch and I met with them in the afternoon, coming off Lowestoffe Beach, there appeared to be seven or eight carts, and twenty or thirty men, that was between one and three o'clock in the morning; the carts came off the beach on to the turnpike road; I rode up, and found them loaded with half ankers; Mr. Gooch and I rode in amongst them, and cut off three carts; I struck at a man with a white stick, and struck it out of his hand; a man upon a cart immediately struck at me; I returned the blow, and struck him off the cart; I did not know any one them; we tracked the carts to Lord Rous's Park. Q. That was the first seizure; be so good as come to the second? - A. Before we got to Lord Rous's Park the prisoner passed us in a cart; I am sure of his person, I knew him very well; he had been sent back with one of the carts, and when I saw him he had got the cutter's men in the cart; he called us b-rs; we went up to Lord Rous's Lodge, and let them pass us, they were huzzaing; we went on, and in Lord Rous's Park we found to the number of sixty or seventy half ankers, I counted thirty in one lot; Mr. Gooch immediately went off for a waggon to convey them away, and while he was gone, I saw the smuggling carts coming from the White-hart, at Blithborough; I ordered one of the waggons that we had hired, to bring the half ankers out of the wood; we slaved a half anker, we knocked the head in, on purpose to taste it, it was foreign geneva; I told him I should seize that tub, and the rest of the tubs that were in the wood; I ordered my men to load the waggon, and when we had got about twenty half ankers in the waggon, the smugglers appeared upon the hill, in five carts they were about two hundred yards from us when I first saw them; when they saw us they huzzaed, d-d their eyes, and said they were glad to see us; I asked them what they wanted; the prisoner replied that he wanted to go past, he said the King's highway was as free for them as for us; he then said, d-n your eyes we want the tubs, and the tubs we will have; they immediately surrounded us, and blocked us in between the waggon and the pales, and their carts; Dick then jumped down off the cart, and said, d-n their eyes they are fixed; we charged them with our swords, and then we forced out between the carts, and we left the tubs behind; I told them they had got the tubs, but if they offered to move them I would fire at them; one of the sailors, with a straw hat on, came immediately up to me, and said, d-n your eyes shoot; he unbuttoned to his shirt, and said, here is a breast to shoot at; we then fired at them several times, and they retreated; they then charged us with pitchforks, and bludgeons, up the hill, and stoned us till we got loaded again, and then we drove them back again, and so we kept on for nearly half an hour; then they holloaed out that we should have twenty tubs; I then consulted Mr. Gooch, and we found we had only one cartridge a-piece left; then we said we would accept of twenty tubs; Little Dick's reply was, d-n your eyes we will not give you twenty; we then fired at them again, and then they agreed to give us twenty, and we carried them off; when we parted, he said to Mr. Gooch, d-n your eyes I will mark you; upon which I told him he would have to answer for the whole, for I knew him very well; I had seen him several times at Bawdsey, in Suffolk, he used to be along with a man that went by the name of Frenchman, I am sure that is the man; there were two foreigners in the party that could not speak a word of English, they assisted in picking up stones for them.
