In 1911, he joined the Territorial Army as a second lieutenant in the 3rd Northumbrian (County of Durham) Brigade of the Royal Field Artillery retiring at the end of the war with the rank of Major and he was appointed a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order in 1917 for his services during World War I.[6][7] In the 1945 New Year Honours, Common was appointed a knight bachelor by George VI for his work with the Ministry of War Transport during World War II and knighted at Buckingham Palace in 1945.[8][9] He was also appointed a Commander of the Order of Orange-Nassau by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, for his services to her country during the war.[10] In 1952, Common was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of County Durham and High Sheriff of that county in 1953, having previously been nominated in 1950 and 1952.[11][12][13][14] In 1923, Common had married Bessie Reid Pollock (1895–1959), a daughter of Gilbert Reid Pollock (1865–?), an iron engineer from Neilston, Renfrewshire, and his wife, Annie (née Blackwell) of Hyde, Cheshire.[15][16][17][18] They had three children, Joyce A. (born 1924), Elizabeth A. (born 1926) and Gilbert A. (born 1930).[19][20] Common died in 1953 and was buried in Edmundbyers, County Durham, near to his home, Hunter House on the banks of Derwent Reservoir. His wife was later interred with him upon her death in 1959.[2][3] References1. ^England & Wales Births Index 1899, June quarter, "Common, Laurence Andrew", Sunderland, volume 10, page 631 {{s-start}}{{s-hon}}{{succession box | title=High Sheriff of Durham | before=Philip Pease | after=Thomas Summerson | years=1953}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Common, Andrew}}2. ^1 England & Wales Deaths Index 1953, June quarter, "Common, Lawrence A.", Northumberland West, volume 1b, page 394 3. ^1 Edmundbyers Monumental Inscriptions {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513002105/http://www.gravetext.co.uk/Edmundbyers/EDMUNDBYERS_MONUMENTAL_INSCRIPTIONS__sorted_by_surname_and_.pdf |date=13 May 2008 }} 4. ^National Portrait Gallery 5. ^1891 England Census, Class RG12, Piece 4134, Folio 68, Page 31 6. ^{{London Gazette |issue=28585 |date=27 February 1912 |page=1451}} 7. ^{{London Gazette |issue=30111 |date=1 June 1917 |page=1}} 8. ^{{London Gazette |issue=36866 |date=29 December 1944 |page=1|supp=y}} 9. ^{{London Gazette |issue=36943 |date=16 February 1945 |page=943}} 10. ^{{London Gazette |issue=38192 |date=30 January 1948 |page=741}} 11. ^{{London Gazette |issue=39069 |date=17 November 1950 |page=5739}} 12. ^{{London Gazette |issue=39634 |date=29 September 1952 |page=4589}} 13. ^{{London Gazette |issue=39700 |date=21 November 1952 |page=6137}} 14. ^{{London Gazette |issue=39798 |date=13 March 1953 |page=1442}} 15. ^England & Wales Marriages Index 1923, June quarter, Sunderland, volume 10a, page 1352 16. ^England & Wales Births Index 1895, December quarter, "Pollock, Bessie Reid", Stockport, volume 8a, page 10 17. ^England & Wales Deaths Index 1959, September quarter, "Common, Bessie R.", Durham West, volume 1a, page 540 18. ^International Genealogical Index, Batch C115721, Dates 1855–1875, Source Call No. 6035516 Register 19. ^England & Wales Births Index 1926, March quarter, Sunderland, volume 10a, page 1202 20. ^England & Wales Births Index 1930, June quarter, Sunderland, volume 10a, page 1102 10 : 1889 births|1953 deaths|Companions of the Distinguished Service Order|Deputy Lieutenants of Durham|High Sheriffs of Durham|Knights Bachelor|Royal Artillery officers|British Army personnel of World War I|People from Sunderland, Tyne and Wear|Commanders of the Order of Orange-Nassau |
