Arthur Stephen RENDELL

MISC: Wed. Dec. 11, 1907 ARTICLE: THROUGH RATES

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur RENDELL with their 2 sons, left by last night's express for England, via Halifax, where they join the C.P.R. Steamer "Empress of Britain". They procured through tickets from General Passenger Agent Johnstone, of the Reid-Newfoundland Company. Through transportation is a great convenience to the travelling public, and it is a gratifying feature in connection with the Reid system, that arrangementshave been made to secure through passenger and freight rates, as wellby the C.P.R. steamers as their trains. That luggage may now be checked right through from its destination is a very desirable feature, as transshipments are thereby robbed of the worst of their terrors. Luggage is checked at St. John's, and there the worry ceases until Liverpool.

I am at a loss to explain the staggering difference in the date of this marriage and the apparent dates of birth of their children long before this date. Something is obviously wrong here and further research is needed.

Service Notes: First World War: The 15th Battalion (48th Highlanders of Canada) went overseas with the first Canadian contingent of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) in October 1914 in uniforms paid for by the Regiment as the Regiment's contribution to Canada. For the war the 48th recruited three battalions, the 15th and two reinforcement battalions, the 92nd and 134th, plus companies equal to two more battalions for other units. The 15th Bn faced the first gas attack of the war at the Second Battle of Ypres on 24 April 1915, losing 664 Highlanders, killed, wounded or prisoners of war. The 15th Bn was immediately reinforced and continued fighting until the Armistice. The names of the regiment's 21 Battle Honours including Ypres, the Somme, Passchendaele, Vimy and Amiens are familiar to all Canadians and historians. In all, 1,467 Highlanders were killed in action.

Stanley Frost mentions him only once in a passing reference concerning the death of his brother Herbert:

A brief conference of Company Commanders and the afternoon advance was in progress. The Church spire of the Town of Dadizele acted as a guide for the extreme right of the Battalion. Several farms were captured with little opposition until the valley beyond had been reached; when, all of a sudden we came under intense machine-gun fire from several directions. Even worse, was the appearance of an enemy aeroplane flying very low, which showered our troops with machine-gun bullets. Resistance increased and the advance for the time being was at a standstill. . . . At this juncture, Captain Herbert Rendell, MC, O/ C "B" Company was shot by a sniper and died immediately. He was the senior Officer in the line at the time and the Regiment could ill afford to lose a man of his calibre. He had been in the thick of the fight from the day we landed at Suvla Bay and a more capable and highly respected Officer was not to be found in the Regiment. He and a brother Clifford, who was killed at Beaumont Hamel, were sons of Herbert Rendell of St. John's.

In an article written for the Downhome magazine, July 2018, by Gloria [Hellier] Brown this is how the death of Capt. Rendell is described to have taken place. This is according to the runner under his orders who was there at the time. She also goes on to describe the earlier death of his younger brother, Clifford, as a result of a wound received at Beaumont Hamel:

"In torrential rain the Regiment was holed up in muddy trenches under heavy machine gun fire. Andrew [Andrew Ralph Smith, the company runner], who had just run a message, reported to his captain, Herbert Rendell, that there were snipers everywhere. Instinctively, the captain rose to the top of the trench to view the situation. Andrew protested, "I wouldn't do that if I was you, sir", but it was too late. Rendell was shot in the throat. It was reported on Sunday, September 29, 1918, at 1:25 p.m. that 29-year old Captain Rendell, MC MID, was killed in action, near Zonnebeke at 11 a.m. He died in Andrew's arms.
An eyewitness report from Second Lieutenant McHenry stated that Rendell died instantly; the officer commanding the 1st Battalion reported he lived two minutes. Traditionally, only officers' names were recorded, so Andrew's name or his accounting of the incident would not be used in the report.
Rendell's parents were Dr. Herbert Sr. and Eliza (Clift) Rendell, a prominent St. John's family who lived on Duckworth St. Dr. Rendell was the first superintendent of the Sanitorium. They already lost their younger son, Lieutenant Clifford Rendell, who died as a result of wounds received at Beaumont Hamel. His right leg required amputation, and there were hopes of a recovery. Cablegrams reveal that a Hebert and a Miss Mary Rendell were at his side in a French hospital. Clifford died of septicemia (blood poisoning) on July 22, 1916. He was 21 years old."
