I wonder if anyone could help.

I have come across mention in the Whitehaven News and Westmoreland Gazette that Lt Harold Beecroft Beaumont of the Border regiment is mentioned in the roll of honour and the record of Old St. Beghians 1914-1919 compiled by JW Aldous. Our village is trying to put together a list of the men of the village who served in World War 1 and we believe that Harold Beecroft Beaumont attended St Bees School. If anyone has a copy of the roll of honour or the record and could look up the record we'd be very pleased to hear.

Many thanks in advance

Alan

Dear Dick

Many thanks for the speedy response. This is excellent information that allows us to identify which of the HB Beaumonts is the one from the village and opens up a new avenue of research with the POW news.

Regards

Alan

Hi Dick

Back yet again in the hope you have the register for the King's School Ely and anything it might contain for Arthur Hilliard William Temple Suffolk Regiment KIA 14.12.1914 who I reckon arrived there in January 1889 (I think). I have quite a lot on him but not this piece of his education

Many thanks John

Sorry to trouble you quite so soon but would you mind looking for Richard Francis Gatehouse at Charterhouse. He was there in 1891 aged 15 in the census so I would guess he arrived the circa 1889. He was killed in September 1914 with the 1st NF

Thanks again

For your information I have some names from the two schools in our town that you may want to take note of for your records and research. They are listed also on my site - http://bloxwichteam.wix.com/bloxwich-remembers

The schools are Bloxwich's National School, and Elmore Green School.

There is not a memorial at the National School, now call All Saints' Accadamy, the names are taken from trawling through old copies of the Parish Magazine and are therefore incomplete.

Elmore Green has a memorial and the names for this are taken from the book detailing those, and others, on the memorial called - "Sorrow into Pride"by Ken Wayman & Barry Crutchley, published by Reveille Press in Great Britain 2012 ISBN 978-1-908336-44-6

 

If you come across any  names from either of these schools, or indeed any from Bloxwich, Blakenall or Leamore I would be grateful if you can pass them on to me so I can get them recorded.  WW1 names I link to the Imperial War Museum's site https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/.

Any info from the forum that I add is referenced to the forum.

 

Best wishes

 

George

Lieut. Graham Johns, Scots Guards

Born on 21 October 1897; the son of Cosmo Johns, Esq., CE of Burngrove, Pittsmoor Road, Sheffield

Educated at Loretto School from Sept. 1910 t o April 1912; at Cheltenham College from May 1912 to December 1915 (Gym VIII; Football XV);

2nd Lieut., Scots Guards (once wounded)

KIA near Cambrai, France on 28 Sept 1918

He is not listed in The War List of the University of Cambridge so it very likely he was admitted there but never attended, especially as he did not leave Cheltenham College until December 1915.

Unfortunately there is no photo.

Sources: The Loretto Register 1825 to 1948; Cheltenham College Register 1841-1927.

I'm researching my family history. Graham Johns is my Great Uncle, I have a photo of him somewhere once I find it I will upload it.
