My story
Paul Arnot Quine was born in 1887 in Chester, Chestershire, England. He was the son of Edward C. and Frances J. Quine. Paul was the second youngest of 3 children. He had 1 older brother, William W. Quine, and 1 oldersister, Ruth C. Quine. The youngest brother, Frank D. Quine, also enlisted, but in the Canadian Army.
Paul lived in Liverpool where he worked as a shipping clerk in the port. He married Frances Adelaide Humphrey on 6 July 1914. Paul was part of the 1/10th Battalion of the King's Liverpool Regiment, 166th Brigade, 55th Division.
On 14 September 1917, the 1/10th Battalion relieved the 2/6th Gloucester Regiment. Two companies were on the front line. The other two companies, along with battalion headquarters were in support. The front line consisted of German concrete dugouts and with a line of posts, which consisted of reinforced and connected shell-holes.
On 15 September 1917, a patrol from ‘V’ Company was sent out towards German posts near Hannebeke with the aim of taking some as well. They were unable to hold the position. They also failed to take the position the following night.
On 17 September, the 1/10th Battalion managed to take the dugouts (28.c.18.b.75.85). In the process, they also took 2 prisoners. That same day, the battalion headquarters moved to Capricorn Keep. The two supporting companies were relieved and moved to ‘L.4 Post’ near Ypres.
The 1/10th Battalion suffered 66 casualties in September 1917, including 51 wounded and 15 killed.
The 30-year-old, Paul Arnot Quine, was one of them; he has no known grave and is remembered on the Tyne Cot Memorial, panel 33.
