WWI Centenary Project The High School Dublin - 'War Stories'

24 January , 2014

Some 69 past pupils of The High School, Dublin, died in The Great War. An impressive memorial and a beautiful stained class window pay testament to their sacrifice a century ago, but, in reality, teenagers pay little attention to engraved, brass, wall-plaques. But all that is about to change. I have begun a project with my students, to help bring the men, whose names are listed on the memorial, to life in the imaginations of the school community.

For a few, like John Black - from the Border and Lothian Horse Battalion or John Black from the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, we have next to no information, but we keep searching regardless, and for information on every one of the 69 soldiers.

Below is a list of the names we are researching. If you are related to these men, or have information relating to them, we would love to hear from you. You may hold the final piece to the puzzle that will complete their story, which is why we would be delighted to hear from you.

We plan to do some research on those who served and survived in the coming years - they all gave so selflessly. If you would like to help us in our research, we would be much obliged, so please get in touch.

We have started a website, where we are collecting the information that we have gathered so far.

http://hsdwarstories.blogspot.ie/ More information is listed there.

Thank you in advance for getting involved and helping with our research, should you wish to do so.

Regards,

Clarissabell.

If anyone on the planet can help you they're on this forum.

Best of luck with the High School project.

Dave - credit where it is due. With your help, I can finally see some of the men whose names I have been pondering for such a long time. To see the photos of the two Duggan brothers who died on the same day - tragic. I am overwhelmed with the information that is contained on this site and the level of detail that some contributors come up with. I may never sleep again!

HI Johnny - the piece on your blog is fascinating. He seems like a kind man, offering the prisoner money, and trying to help him. I didn't know any of this information. Thank you so much for sharing. I am still finding my way around this site - but I will take your advice and put something on the Ireland sub-forum too. Thanks again,

Clarissabell.

There is info re Holden Stodart at the Guinness archives (speak to Eibhlin and she will be able to grab material for you) and material re his death in the 1916 Rebellion Handbook.

I'm sure there was another Guinness man from the High School. Will have to check my notes.

The High School hosted an auxilliary hospital during the Easter Rising. Amongst the staff was Dr Wayland who I believe was the uncle of Private Neville Fryday, a youngster in the Canadian army killed during the Easter Rising :

Hi JDoyle,

Corporal James Kelly? - I think I've given the High School his name already:

Corporal James Kelly was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, 9 Tower Avenue, Rathgar, and was educated at the High School, Dublin. At the outbreak of the war he was in the Engineering Department of Messrs. Guinness, Son and Co., but at once offered his services and joined the “Pals” Battalion. He was prominent in the formation of the 1st City of Dublin Cadets, in which he was Colour Sergeant, and was selected as one of the Cadet Guard of Honour at the Coronation of King George V. He was attached to the signalling section of the “Pals” Battalion, and was present at the memorable landing at Suvla Bay on August 6th. He was killed on September 20th last.

2nd Lt James Black, KOSB was originally no 1437 Lothian and Borders Horse

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/139786/BLACK,%20JAMES

He is listed in Ireland's Memorial Records. Probably/possibly because of the link to The High School

Thanks Johnny, According to High School records, James Black, was born 08/02/1893, which ties in with the record you found, making him 24 years old when he died. His address is noted as 'St Andrews, Inchicore'. The same address is given for John Black. Both boys attended High School for the same period,

1903-1906, but John Mayes Black is two years older, DOB -23/08/189. I think we can safely assume that they are related, probably brothers.

And--- According to the 1901 census, 2 years before the started at High School, they were living in Inchicore. Their mother was listed as Sarah, the father as James - which ties in to your information about James.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/New_Kilmainham/St__Michaels_Terrace/1290375/

So they are brothers, and that record that you found on the CWGC website, relates to High School past pupil Jack Black. Thank you - we have found the resting place of John Black and can add this missing piece of information to his story. Nice work Johnny.

For the men who served in Australian units. their service records will be available from the Australian Archives. Also do a search in the Australian War Memorial for Nominal Rolls, Rolls of Honour etc.

To the Brisbane admin - thanks for your suggestion - I will certainly do that.

I realise that it's W J (William John) Rice I was thinking of. He was one of the Guinness employees shot by members of the RDF during the Easter Rising.

Johnny, What happened to Mr Rice and indeed his friends, is one of the most shocking things I have read so far. I had only discovered about the High School being used as a Red Cross hospital last week. I would be very interested in finding out more about the hospital, so if you ever come across anything and have the time to share.

Medal Index Card for John Mayes Black has an address in Manchester. Served in the Indian Army and reached rank of Major. Looks like his son was killed in WW2 and that John Mayes Black died in 1955.

do you have any date of birth, address, years at the school or family information for "John Black from the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders"?

Only seem to be 2 that fit this description, both died April 1917. Not enough information to tie them to the school. No family trees found.

A James Black, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, appears in Ireland's Memorial Records. Died of wounds in Jan 1917

Westmeath Independent, October, 1914. Soldiers Letters. “A Fairly Quiet Time.” His many friends will be pleased to learn that Mr Richard Brewster (son of Mr W T Brewster, Secretary and Manager of the “Independent Newspapers” Ltd), who is serving with the South Irish Horse in the Expeditionary Force in France, is, to quote his won words, “quite well and still in the land of the living.” Writing to his sister, Mr Brewster says; “We are having a fairly quiet time just now, but are expecting more excitement shortly. We are all being inoculated to-day against typhoid fever. I believe it makes one sicker about a day, but its worth getting done, so we will often have to drink fairly unclean water perhaps. “I heard a couple of days ago in a letter from a fellow in Dublin to a fellow here that some of us were reported dead—myself killed and another dead from pneumonia. For God’s sake never believe a single report of that kind unless it is given by authority of the War Office I can assure you that if you heard it, I am still quite a lively ‘corpse.’ “Don’t forget to send me later on a piece of plum pudding because I don’t expect to be home this side of Christmas.” Writing to friends in Athlone under date October 1st, Mr Brewster, who is full of optimism, says;--“It is a great experience here and I would not miss it for worlds. We are very well fed and clothed and needless to say are in good form and spirits. No news from here of course so good-bye.” Br Brewster is serving with the South Irish Horse, and some few weeks ago was reported as dead or missing. His interesting letters show that he is very much alive and taking his soldiering duties very pleasantly. Westmeath Independent, April, 1918. Lieutenant Richard Brewster. Son of Mr W T Brewster, manager and secretary of the “Irish Independent” has been missing since the earlier engagements of the present great push. The gallant young soldier has seen a great deal of active service since the early stages of the war and put up a fine military record. Naturally great uneasiness has been caused his family by the intelligence that he is missing. We sincerely hope more satisfactory news may speedily reach them. Westmeath Independent, August, 1918. Late Second Lieutenant Brewster, S.I.H. What promised to be an exceptionally brilliant career has been cut short by the death of Second Lieutenant R Brewster, of the South Irish Horse, who was reported “missing” after the big offensive last March, and is not officially reported killed. Before joining up at the outbreak of the war the deceased young gentleman who had a distinguished collegiate course, held a Civil Service appointment in the Department of Agriculture. He was immensely popular with all who knew him, and during his war service earned unstinted credit from his superiors for skill and efficiency. We sincerely convey our regret to his father, Mr W T Brewster, Secretary and Manager of the “Irish Independent” papers, and to the other members of his family. Irish Independent; In Memoriam. Brewster-In loving memory of our dear son, Richard Gardiner, second Lieutenant, South Irish Horse, First Expeditionary Force, killed in action, near Rossnoy, March 21, 1918, second eldest son of Mr and Mrs Brewster, Audenville, Iona Road. “He was not, for God took him.” Irish Independent; Lieutenant Brewster’s Death Recorded.

Westmeath Independent, October, 1914. Soldiers Letters. “A Fairly Quiet Time.” His many friends will be pleased to learn that Mr Richard Brewster (son of Mr W T Brewster, Secretary and Manager of the “Independent Newspapers” Ltd), who is serving with the South Irish Horse in the Expeditionary Force in France, is, to quote his won words, “quite well and still in the land of the living.” Writing to his sister, Mr Brewster says; “We are having a fairly quiet time just now, but are expecting more excitement shortly. We are all being inoculated to-day against typhoid fever. I believe it makes one sicker about a day, but its worth getting done, so we will often have to drink fairly unclean water perhaps. “I heard a couple of days ago in a letter from a fellow in Dublin to a fellow here that some of us were reported dead—myself killed and another dead from pneumonia. For God’s sake never believe a single report of that kind unless it is given by authority of the War Office I can assure you that if you heard it, I am still quite a lively ‘corpse.’ “Don’t forget to send me later on a piece of plum pudding because I don’t expect to be home this side of Christmas.” Writing to friends in Athlone under date October 1st, Mr Brewster, who is full of optimism, says;--“It is a great experience here and I would not miss it for worlds. We are very well fed and clothed and needless to say are in good form and spirits. No news from here of course so good-bye.” Br Brewster is serving with the South Irish Horse, and some few weeks ago was reported as dead or missing. His interesting letters show that he is very much alive and taking his soldiering duties very pleasantly. Westmeath Independent, April, 1918. Lieutenant Richard Brewster. Son of Mr W T Brewster, manager and secretary of the “Irish Independent” has been missing since the earlier engagements of the present great push. The gallant young soldier has seen a great deal of active service since the early stages of the war and put up a fine military record. Naturally great uneasiness has been caused his family by the intelligence that he is missing. We sincerely hope more satisfactory news may speedily reach them. Westmeath Independent, August, 1918. Late Second Lieutenant Brewster, S.I.H. What promised to be an exceptionally brilliant career has been cut short by the death of Second Lieutenant R Brewster, of the South Irish Horse, who was reported “missing” after the big offensive last March, and is not officially reported killed.

Hi Tom and Johnny - I am focusing on the memorial which lists those who died in the Great War - but I would love to include all of the High School boys who fought at some point. Conerney is proof that every story is worth collecting and telling. Thanks again, both of you, for your help.

do you have any date of birth, address, years at the school or family information for "John Black from the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders"?

Only seem to be 2 that fit this description, both died April 1917. Not enough information to tie them to the school. No family trees found.

A James Black, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, appears in Ireland's Memorial Records. Died of wounds in Jan 1917

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/29614/BLACK,%20JAMES

The family appear to be in the census for Dublin in 1901

Hi Johnny - I see what you mean about the Black boys - it is not as cut and dried as I thought. Here is all we have at the school on them at the moment ( but there could be more somewhere). I know the it isn't much to go on... Thanks for your help.

Regards, C.
