James Grove White

James Grove White Tuckey was born in June 1864, the second son of Dr. Charles Caulfield Tuckey, and was educated at King’s School, Canterbury and Trinity College, Oxford, and later studied at Heidelberg. A lecturer at Durham University from 1893 to 1895, he was ordained in the same period and appointed Chaplain of University College and of St. Margaret’s, Durham. In 1895, however, he became a Chaplain to the Forces, serving first at Aldershot and then at York, whence he was embarked for South Africa on the outbreak of hostilities in October 1899. Subsequently one of just five Chaplains present at Elandslaagte, Lombard’s Kop and the defence of Ladysmith; and afterwards in the actions at Laing’s Nek, Belfast and Lydenburg, he was advanced to Chaplain 3rd Class and mentioned in despatches. Then from 1902-04 he did duty at Middleberg in the Transvaal, before coming home to an appointment at Caterham. Senior Chaplain at Woolwich Garrison by the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914, he quickly went out to France as Senior Chaplain, 4th Division, shortly thereafter transferring to III Corps and thence to the 2nd Army in 1915. Appointed Assistant Chaplain-General, Rouen Area, in 1916, later in the year he returned home to Southern Command, in which capacity he was still employed at the War’s end. He was thrice mentioned in despatches, awarded the C.B.E. and appointed Honorary Chaplain to the King. Having then been placed on the Retired List as a Chaplain 1st Class in 1923, Tuckey briefly served as Honorary Chaplain to the Bishop of Salisbury before being appointed Church of England Representative on the Interdenomination Advisory Committee at the War Office in 1935. He had, meanwhile, also been appointed Canon Residentiary of Ripon, in which capacity he remained employed until 1945. He died in October 1947, leaving a daughter, his wife having pre-deceased him and his only son John having been killed in action on the Somme as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 13th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment in August 1916.
