The disposal of Government surplus scrap was one firm's activities after the war, and the aerodrome was acquired for this purpose. Nine years ago the shipbreaking activities were separated, and Mr. Bolckow became director of the Hughes Bolckow Company, Blyth. He served with distinction, during the war, joining the 4th Yorks in 1914, and a year later when attached to the recently formed Teesside Battalion, was stationed at Marton Hall, his old home. In 1916 he was promoted to the rank of major, and the following year went to France with the 12th Yorks, taking part in the attack on the Ridge and the blowing up of Hill 60, where he was gassed. After being invalided home he became company commander at a Ripon Convalescent Camp.
