Capt. John Ridley Robb<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Robb brothers were born in Hexham and educated at George Watson\u2019s Boy\u2019s College in Edinburgh, where all three served in the school Officer Training Corps. In 1907 William was gazetted as a 2nd Lt in the 1st Volunteer Battalion, NF and John Ridley joined the 4th NF in March 1909. Both were promoted to full lieutenant in June 1910, then captain in Dec 1912. They were mobilised in August 1914 and served to the end of the war.<\/p>\n

Lt Henry Mylas Carrick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lt Henry Mylas Carrick Henry\u2019s father Thomas (1845-1911) was the founder in 1880 of \u2018Carrick\u2019s Cumberland Dairy and Pure Milk Supply Co Ltd\u2019, a firm producing milk, butter and cheese in the Cumbrian village of Low Row. The proximity of the dairy to the Newcastle-Carlisle railway line not only enabled it to supply the large nearby markets of Newcastle and Carlisle, but also the rapidly expanding industrial centres further afield. The company was able to branch out and develop a chain of tea rooms, cafes and restaurants in the north-east, which most notably included the fashionable Newcastle venues of Tilley\u2019s on Blackett Street and the Grand Assembly Rooms on Fenkle Street. On Thomas\u2019s death the firm continued but it is not clear whether Henry was involved at all.<\/p>\n

By 1984, with only sixty-four branches left, Carrick\u2019s was taken over by Associated British Foods which operated under the \u2018Bakers Oven\u2019 brand, which was in turn taken over by Greggs in 1994.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Officer Commanding:<\/strong>\u00a0Capt. John Reginald Blackett-Ord <\/strong><\/p>\n

Whitfield Hall, on the west bank of the River Allen, is the home of the Blackett-Ord family. The Manor of Whitfield was granted, in the 12th century, by William (King of Scotland) to the Whitfield family, who retained it until 1750 when it was sold to William Ord of Fenham. When a later William Ord died in 1855, the estate fell to his son's widow and then to her heir, her niece, who married Rev John Blackett, a son of Christopher Blackett of Wylam. As a condition of the marriage and inheritance he changed his name to Blackett-Ord.<\/p>\n

Their son Andrew John Blackett-Ord was a magistrate, captain and honoury major of the 4th Bn Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders and Major in the 1st VB NF.<\/p>\n

Andrew's eldest son John Reginald was born in Scarborough (1885) and was educated at Eton. He also served as a 2nd Lt in Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, but resigned his commission in 1906. He subsequently joined the 4th Bn NF and attained the rank of Captain in 1914.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
