657	At the beginning of the Battle of the Somme the battalion were held back in reserve at the start of the battle and moved into the battlefield in August at Le Hamel and carried out two tours at the cost of 44 casualties. Pulled back to billets again for drill and training the Battalion next saw action in the Battle of Flers-Courcelete during September. The 6th Division were tasked with attacking and securing a system of trenches known as the Quadrilateral. Having resisted several earlier attempts at capture, the 14th Battalion were sent forward to consolidate a position where a railway crossed the Ginchy / Leuze wood road in preparation for the attack. Arriving in total darkness the battalion found the trenches full of dead and wounded Norfolk and Suffolk regiment soldiers and worked until dawn to move the wounded to first aid stations. During the attack to capture the Quadrilateral 2nd/Lt Arthur Moore Lascelles was wounded. Lascelles would, later in the war go on to win the Victoria Cross The next day, 17th September 1916, the battalion moved forward into the assembly trench ready to attack. At 0530 hours on the 18th September under a creeping barrage the battalion attacked. The objective was stormed and hundreds of German prisoners taken, but the price was high the 14th 4 officers and 31 other ranks killed with 5 officers and 161 other ranks wounded. At the end of September 1916 the battalion marched to billets in Ville-sur-Ancre and underwent training and reorganising. A further 18 soldiers had lost their lives and 72 ad been wounded. Battalion strength now consisted of 15 officers and 459 other ranks. By the beginning of October 1916 the 14th Battalion had moved into Trones Wood in preparation for attack on a trench system known as Rainbow and Shine. Extracts from the 14th's War Diary for October detail the attack. 11th October 1916. 0730 hours:- Battn. moved into Reserve trenches between GUIDECOURT and LESBEOUFS. Orders were received to move into assembly trenches and attack the next day. Some difficulty was expected in keeping direction in the attack owing to the fact that the West Yorks held part of the enemy trench, and the part we were to attack was on the left of the West Yorks, whereas the assembly trenches, from which the attack was to be launched, lay directly behind the West Yorks. The direction of the attack would therefore be half-left. To obviate this we laid a tape from the West Yorks extreme left to the extreme right of the assembly trenches. The first objective was to be this trench from the West Yorks right as far as a sunken road ( about 350 yards of trench), the 12th Division attacking from the sunken road to the left. After attaining the objective we were to advance on a 100 yards? front with our left on the sunken road until we reached the the enemy trench 300 yards in front. This was to be captured and , if possible, a new line to be dug about 300 yards in front of this trench; the 12th Division on the left and the West Yorks on the right were to continue the line. ?B? and ?D? Coys ? ?B? on the left, ?D? on the right ? were ordered to advance in extended order in two waves on a front of 300 yards at ZERO hour, ?D? directing with their line on the tape, and capture the first objective. At ZERO plus 20 ?B? Coy. was to advance on a front of 100 yards with it?s left on the sunken road, ?D? Coy. following 100 yards in the rear with its left on the sunken road with 1 Section R.E. and 2 Brigade Machine Guns attached. At the same time ?C? and ?A? Coys. were to advance in artillery formation from the Assembly Trenches and occupy the place of ?B? and ?D? Coys in the captured trenches. Strong opposition was expected from enemy dug-outs in the sunken road. The left of ?B? Coy was therefore composed of 2 Headquarters Bombing Sections to deal with these dug-outs and a squad of 10 Rifle Grenade men, with an ample supply of rifle grenades, who were to bombard these dug outs in the sunken road prior to the advance at ZERO plus 20 MINUTES. Lieut. Batty was in charge of these parties. Each advance was to be preceded by a creeping barrage and a stationary barrage which was to left when the creeping barrage reached it. Batt. Hdqrs. were established in the West Yorks line next to the West Yorks Hdqrs. By 1405 hours:- Attack commenced. Almost at once the enemy opened a very heavy barrage on the Assembly Trenches and on the trenches already held by the West Yorks. ?B? and ?D? Coys however advanced steadily through the barrage and captured their first objective, taking about 15 prisoners and killing several. The 12th Division on the left also attained their first objective. During this advance ?B? Coy lost both it?s officers ? Capt. Hellier killed and 2nd/Lt Gillott wounded. Many Germans retired down a communication trench and the sunken road, but few escaped owing to the efficient handling of the Rifle Grenade Section by Lieut. Batty. ?B? and ?D? Coys adavanced, Bombing Sections and Rifle Grenade men cleared dug-outs on the sunken road.The advance again came under heavy barrage and a good deal of Machine Gun fire. The Lewis Guns were pushed forward, and they and the Rifle Grenade men did excellent work in facilitating the advance. ?C? and ?A? Coys moved forward in artillery formation and took the place of ?B? and ?D? , losing only a few men; but 2nd Lt. Swindell was killed and 2nd Lt. Dunn wounded. Lt. Newsome in command of ?A? Coy, seeing that ?B? Coy had lost all their officers and were becoming disorganized, handed his Coy. over to his Coy. Sergt. Major, and went forward and took command of ?B? Coy. ?B? and ?D? Coys. ably led by Lt. Newsome and Capt. Richardson, then captured the German second line trench and established communication with the West Yorks on the right. Lt. Batty had materially assisted the advance by bombing up a communication trench, capturing a German officer prisoner; he was wounded on getting to the second line. No further advance was possible owing to the fact that the 12th Division had not advanced on the left, and the West Yorks, who had been mowed down by Machine Gun fire on the right, had been unable to advance any further. We therefore consolidated the position, and as our left was 400 yards in the air, formed a defensive flank. These operations were carried out successfully, and the Battn. was relieved the same night." On the 19th of October 1916, the Battalion moved on to the Citadel area and began regrouping and reorganising for the remainder of the month drafting in new men and officers to replenish those lost and wounded in battle.

691	Banks, Benjamin (b Salisbury, 14 July 1727; d Salisbury, 18 Feb 1795). English violin maker. He lived and worked in Salisbury and, with Forster, did much to raise the standard of English violin-making in the second half of the 18th century. In 1741 he began an apprenticeship under his uncle, William Huttoft. Although it was intended to last seven years, the apprenticeship terminated abruptly on Huttoft's death in 1747. Banks's earliest known instrument is an English guitar branded, signed and dated 1757, and his first advertisement appeared in the Salisbury and Winchester Journal on 28 March 1757. Benjamin Banks has been described as the ?English Amati?, and fine examples of his work exist to support this statement. He was the first English maker to recognize the importance of Stradivari's ?long pattern?, and his cellos and violins were made to ?Strad? specifications. His violas invariably have a Stainer influence. They are always on the small side, being never more than 39.7 cm along the back. English sycamore and pine were the basic woods employed on all Banks instruments, and his varnish is of excellent quality, ranging in colour from brown, through orange-brown and orange-red to deep red. The claim that stain was first laid on as a filler is without foundation. Signatures and initials are to be found in a variety of places, although not all instruments carry labels. The bows that Banks and most other 18th-century makers sold were made by the Dodd family. In Banks's case they varied in quality and were branded banks, sometimes over the Dodd name. This was common practice, and may be assumed to have been carried out with the Dodd family's permission. Banks never made trade instruments, although he did allow his agents, Longman & Broderip, to place their brand over his on the instruments they sold; only a few of these still exist. Benjamin Banks married Ann Burtt in 1749; they had ten children, including a pair of twins. Their eldest child, Ann (1750?94), married the music publisher Thomas Cahusac (i) in 1780. Benjamin's sixth child, James (b Salisbury, 10 Aug 1758; d Liverpool, 15 June 1831), was already producing instruments of high quality at the age of 17. His ability and drive have been given less than the notice they deserve by previous writers. Under his direction the string section of the firm blossomed profusely until the business was sold in 1811. His younger brother Henry (b Salisbury, 15 Dec 1770; d Liverpool, 16 Oct 1830), whose name is always linked with James, served an apprenticeship in the piano department of Longman & Broderip. In 1795 (the year of his father's death), Henry proudly advertised his skills in tuning ?stringed instruments of all kinds? in the Salisbury and Winchester Journal. Benjamin Banks's third child, Benjamin (b Salisbury, 15 Sept 1754; d Liverpool, 22 Jan 1820), also made violins. He worked in London for a short time, but his work tends to be heavy and somewhat clumsy. In 1785 a fire devastated workshops opposite Banks's house and main workshop in Catherine Street, Salisbury. Although Â£200 worth of stock was destroyed, it had little effect on production for that year. In 1811 the business was sold to Alexander Lucas, and Henry and James moved to Liverpool. It would seem that the few instruments dated after the move were remaining stock that was brought up from Salisbury and labelled in Liverpool. [Grove Music Online]	BANKS, Benjamin the Violin Maker (I21167)
692	Banks, Benjamin (1727?1795), musical instrument maker, was born at Salisbury on 14 July 1727, the third of the five children of George Banks, master butcher, and his wife, Barbery Huttoft. In 1741 Banks commenced a seven-year apprenticeship with his uncle William Huttoft, musical instrument maker and retail music dealer of Salisbury. In fact Huttoft is not recorded as a stringed instrument maker and it seems probable that Banks spent some time in the workshops of London makers such as Peter Wamsley of Piccadilly (1715??1751) or members of the Hill family, particularly Joseph Hill (1715?1784). There was also a later London connection with the Cahusac instrument retail business, for Banks's eldest daughter, Ann, married Thomas Cahusac in 1780. Banks used as his main London outlet the retail music firm of Longman and Broderip, whose instruments so labelled were made for them by others and may occasionally reveal Banks's signature or initials internally. Despite the attraction of London as a marketing base, Banks continued to maintain his workshop in Salisbury. After two centuries Banks's reputation stands high, a number of authorities referring to the almost faultless workmanship, particularly in his copies made on the grand Amati model, after Nicolo Amati of Cremona. Banks himself is often referred to as ?the English Amati?. He also made instruments, supposedly mainly for the trade, on the highly arched Germanic Stainer model, which are less well regarded, and occasionally produced copies of Stradivari some decades before this became fashionable. Banks's sonorous cellos in particular remain highly prized by professional players and have long competed for favour with those of William (Royal) Forster of London (1739?1808), who enjoyed the patronage of the prince of Wales. Banks is thought to have produced violins, violas, and cellos in roughly even numbers, no doubt with the help of his sons. Examples of his work are to be found in the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum. Banks married Ann Burtt in Salisbury on 8 August 1749 and they had nine children, two of whom, James and Henry, carried on the family business in Catherine Street, Salisbury, until that moved to Liverpool in 1811. Their output varies in standard. Banks died on 18 February 1795 and was buried with his wife at the church of St Thomas in Salisbury High Street. His tombstone bears the words ?Restored 1863 ? in memory of the most eminent English maker of stringed musical instruments?.
