Pottage, John

30 March 2017 by Boro1418 Leave a Comment

Name: John Pottage

Rank: Private (assumed, to be verified)

Service No: SE 11204

Regiment/Service: Royal Army Veterinary Corps (att Royal Field Artillery)

 

Paul Allen writes:

Despite being aged over 50 at the outbreak of war, Tom Pottage’s father, John Pottage, enlisted into the army soon after the outbreak of war and served with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps (Regimental Number SE 11204) in France on attachment to 280 Brigade, the Royal Field Artillery.

Unlike his son, John survived to return to Scarborough following his demobilisation in 1919.

John Pottage was a well-known Scarborough cab driver who, by 1918, resided in the town at 59 Seaton Terrace, Hibernia Street.

John Pottage and Clara Fox were married in Scarborough’s St Mary’s Parish Church on 16 January 1895. At the time of the 1901 Census the family were still living at 6 Wrea Lane and consisted of John, aged 34 years, cab driver, Clara, 29 years, Tom (recorded as ‘Harry’) (5), Emma (‘Minnie’?) (aged 4). All were Scarborough born. The family was later augmented by Clara (1902), John (popularly known as ‘Jack’, born 1905, died 1969), George (born 1909, died 1983), and Frederick Albert (born 1910, died 1992), and Frances (1914). Jack Pottage served in the Merchant Navy during the Second World War, when he was torpedoed twice whilst on convoy duty.
