Herbert W. Farrar, of St. James\u2019, Carlisle. Herbert Farrar Senior (known as Bill) was also the son of a vicar (Wesley Farrar) and had been born in Norfolk but was living in Durham by the time of the 1871 Census and then in Barrow (1881), Durham (1891) and London (1901). Vicars do tend to be moved around a lot! \u201c<em>Ronald was born at South Shields, County Durham, the second child of the Rev. Farrar\u2019s second marriage, to Florence Margaret Town. He had two sisters, May Renny Annandah (born 1886) and Winifred Margaret (born 1888). He also had a younger brother, Sydney Gelder Farrar (born 1892), who also served as a Second Lieutenant during the Great War.<\/em>\u201d Interestingly, young Ronald was living with his maternal grandmother, Florence Margaret Town, when he was three years old. Annandale Town had been a Master Partner in a Paper Mills Firm. His grandmother was living at 64 Jesmond Road, Jesmond, near Newcastle. She was a widow, \u201c<em>of independent means<\/em>\u201d, and shared her house with three grown up children, a cook and a housemaid. Ronald\u2019s time with his grandmother was perhaps because his father was chaplain to the Mission to Seamen on the Tyne. \u201c<em>Ronald moved with his family to Carlisle in 1893, when his father was appointed vicar there. In 1898 his father was appointed Superintendent Chaplain to the Missions to Seamen, this meant a move south to Dalmore Road, West Dulwich, South East London, and Ronald was enrolled at Dulwich College, arriving in May, in time for the start of the summer term. By spring 1901, the family had moved to Thurlow Park Road, Lambeth, where every family had a housemaid and cook. His younger brother Sydney joined him at Dulwich College in 1905, the year before Ronald left in April 1906.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-0a33d65-1\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-0a33d65-1-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                                                            Academic Record:                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-0a33d65-1-content\" data-id=\"acc-0a33d65-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_cfku174\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_f672174 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_z2ly174   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>Ronald was not a pupil at Carlisle grammar school for very long.

Although he was said not to be physically strong, his experience in the O.T.C. at Cambridge led to a probationary commission as a 2nd lieutenant in the 3rd (Reserve) Battalion of the Leicestershire Regiment He left for France on October 27. He was attached to the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0Battalion Manchester regiment, and was put in charge of two platoons and shot two Germans. By December 1 1914 the battalion had reached Dranoutre, near Ypres, Belgium and were resting in their billets. During the next week they received an \u2018<em>appreciative address\u2019<\/em>\u00a0from their commanding officer, took in reinforcements and, according to the battalion\u2019s war diary records, they played football. As the month progressed, they moved from trench to trench under regular shellfire. \u2018<em>The division was now holding a line from La Petite Douve in a northwest direction up the slope to the Wulverghem-Mesines road and to the east to Hill 75,covering a front of about 3,500 yards. The weather was wet and cold, and the trenches were knee-deep in mud and water\u2019<\/em>.*<\/p>\n<p>They received a break from the action during the week before Christmas when they \u201c<em>rested in billets<\/em>\u201d and attended a church parade at the Convent of St.Antoine, Locre on December 20. Hot baths could be taken at the convent for one franc (soap &amp; towels not included), and with the opportunity to have meals there, providing a welcome break from the regular fare.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to the front, the battalion moved to trenches east of Lindenhoek on December 23 and on Christmas Eve took over old trenches at Wulvergham from the Bedford regiment. The weather changed to a hard frost, making trench conditions a little more bearable than the sticky mud they were used to under foot. The sound of carols and hymns could be heard from the trenches on both sides, and the heavy guns stopped firing during the unofficial \u2018<em>Christmas Truce\u2019<\/em>. German troops coming into the lines brought Christmas trees to place on their parapets. But vigilance was still necessary. Records show that even on this day of low fatalities, 98\u00a0British soldiers died, many the victims of sniper fire. The battalion war diary records that amongst the unlucky few to die that day were 2nd Lt.H.R.Farrar and Sergt. Williams. Ronald was buried on Christmas Day 1914, in Dranoutre churchyard \u201c<em>close to (the) wall and near a crucifix attached to south wall, in the presence of \u201cthe general and officers of his regiment<\/em>.\u201d A brief notice of his death appeared amongst the list of \u201c<em>Fallen Officers<\/em>\u201d in The Times of December 30. In 1923 nineteen graves from the churchyard were moved to enable the rebuilding of the church.

In the RagDance on the last Saturday of his first term, dressed as an Arab Sheikh, he led a procession of \u201cwonderfully dressed Eastern ladies\u201d (members of staff). He also opened the batting for the staff XI in summer 1913, scoring 1 run. In the spring of 1914 he travelled in the South of France, sailed up the Nile in Egypt as far as Aswan and back home via the Italian Lakes<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A letter from Helen Moses, of the VAD Hospital in Beckenham, Kent, asking for Ronald\u2019s parents\u2019 address is in the Archives at Kew. She wrote on behalf of a soldier to whom Farrar had been kind. He wanted to express his gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>The award of a medal for those who had served in France or Belgium between August 5 and November 22, 1914, was announced in 1917. The rector wrote to the military authorities applying for the posthumous issue of his son\u2019s medal, the 1914 or \u201cMons\u201d Star. After the War, on October 19 1919, it was announced that the King had approved the issue of a clasp, to be worn on the ribbon of the medal, to all wearers of the 1914 Star who had actually served under enemy fire during the specified period.<\/p>\n<p>Ronald\u2019s Victory medal appeared for sale on the internet auction site eBay in June 2010. Usually selling for about \u00a315, it sold for \u00a3103.51, the high price being due to the fact that he was one of the few men to be killed during the unofficial \u2018Christmas Truce\u2019 of 1914. It is somewhat bizarre that the facts surrounding the date of an individual\u2019s death should add value to piece of wartime memorabilia, awarded to every man who had fought during the first months of the Great War.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cRonald\u2019s sister May died unmarried in 1919, aged thirty two and was buried in St. Mary\u2019s churchyard, Barcombe, where her father was Rector. The Revd. Farrar marked her grave with a Celtic cross style headstone, and took the opportunity to commemorate his son. He was also the first master on Windlesham House school\u2019s Roll of Honour 1914-1918. In 1921, the rector contributed a photograph and brief details of his son to the compiler of the Dulwich College War Record,\u00a0 thanking him for what he was doing \u201cto commemorate the supreme sacrifice made by our beloved sons.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>His brother Sydney took Holy Orders. His mother Florence Margaret died in 1922 and was also buried at St. Mary\u2019s. Rev. Farrar, who is remembered in the village driving a pony and trap, remained as rector of Barcombe until 1942, when ill-health forced his retirement.
