Biography Simon Johnson Victor James Seals and his brother, Alfred and Curtis William were born at Parwich in Derbyshire and were the seventh, eighth and ninth children, respectively, of John Seals and Annie Watson. In total, the family consisted of eight boys and two girls. The family moved to the Crich area in 1901, settling at Dethick where John Seals became the tenant farmer at Manor Farm. Prior to their military service during the war, all three of the Seals brothers listed on the Roll of Honour had worked on their father’s farm. During the war years John Seals passed on the farm at Dethick due to economic problems and lack of skilled labour, and moved to Church Farm at Crich. Victor James Seals was born on 19 July 1892. During the war he and his brothers Alfred and Curtis were attested for service at Matlock in February 1916 and Victor was posted to the Royal Garrison Artillery in March with the rank of Gunner. In April he was posted to the 67 Company which manned the outer defences at Portsmouth and in June was posted to the 66 Company which manned the unit at Kingston, Jamaica. A note on Victor’s ‘Employment Sheet’ in his service records, dated August 1917, describes him as a ‘Very good, intelligent, honest, sober, hardworking, and willing man [who] would make a good N.C.O.’ In June 1918 he was posted to the No. 2 Siege Artillery Reserve Brigade (S.A.R.B.), which was based at Catterick in North Yorkshire. Victor was awarded the British War Medal. As he served on garrison duty, and did not enter a theatre of war overseas, he was ineligible for the Victory Medal. Victor was demobilised from military service on 20 January 1919 and returned to his family at Crich. He married Alice Smith in 1921 and moved to live with Alice’s family at Rakestones Farm at Ireton Wood, near Idridgehay in Derbyshire. Alice’s father George Smith had farmed at Ireton Wood for many years. Victor and Alice had no children, and they farmed at Rakestones Farm until the property was sold at auction in 1936. After leaving Rakestones Farm, Victor and Alice purchased a smallholding at Alderwasley named Chapel Hill Farm and Victor resided there for the rest of his life. For a number of years he was the chairman of Alderwasley Parish Council. Victor James Seals passed away in Derbyshire on 20 November 1976, aged eighty-four years. |
