EDITORS' FOREWORD.

It was originally intended that this book should take the form of a 

permanent record of the lives of those Old Dunelmians who fell in the

service of their country during the War of 1914-1918. It was, however, 

felt that the scope of the book should be extended to include

the School War List of Old Dunelmians serving in H.M. Forces, and it

is with that end in view that the Editors have undertaken its 

compilation.

It is realised that there are probably omissions in the book,

especially in the "List of Old Dunelmians serving in the Army, Navy 

and Air Force", and the Editors will be glad to receive additions or 

corrections for inclusion in any future edition.

The thanks of the Editors are due to all those who have so kindly 

helped in the collection of material for the book, and especially to 

those relatives of the fallen who have so willingly provided 

photographs, letters, and details of interest, from which the

biographical portion of the book-has been compiled.

INTRODUCTION.

When war with Germany was declared in August 1914, the number of Old

Dunelmians serving in the Regular Forces was not large, although the

School was well represented in the Auxiliary Forces. Durham School is

not, and never has been, what is known as an "Army School"; rather 

has it been the aim of the authorities to prepare boys for the 

Universities and professions with a view to fitting them to practise 

the arts of peace.

At the same time reference to the School Register reveals the fact 

that in previous wars the School has always provided its quota to the 

Forces of the Crown. Henry, Viscount Hardinge, who was one of Sir John

Moore's right-hand men in the Peninsular, who served as a Brigadier-

General under Wellington in 1815, and who reached the top-most rung of 

his profession when he was created a Field Marshal in 1S55, was an Old 

Dunelmian; with him in the Peninsular there also served John Chipchase 

and Roderick Impey Murchison, the latter of whom, disappointed at not

having the opportunity of seeing further active service, relinquished 

the sword and made a name for himself in the world of science. Later, 

in the Indian Mutiny, many Old Dunelmians played their part, either as 

soldiers or civilians, as witness the names of George Jackson, Lachlan 

Macqueen, John Losh, the

---------------------------------------------------------

Page vii

Crasters, Frederick and Henry Forbes, H.C. Wilkinson, Sir William 

Fairfax and Moyes Preston, to mention but a few. In later days, 

whether in the Crimea, on the Indian frontiers, or in Africa, the 

traditions of Durham were upheld by such men as Hubbach, W.T. Corrie,

Patrick Thorpe Dickson, Charles Macgregor, the Chaytors, Rivett-

Carnac, Charles Warddell, Sir James Trotter and Mitford Cust. In the 

South African War Old Dunelmians fought and died, and many who had 

served in that war came forward again in 1914.

As regards the Royal Navy, one does not expect to find the names of 

many Old Dunelmians in the history of past wars, but in the Register 

are recorded the names of two distinguished sailors in Admiral of the

Fleet Sir Thomas Maitland, G.C.B., and Admiral Sir Thomas Sabine 

Pasley, K.C.B.

Such, then, was the heritage bequeathed to Dunelmians by those who had

gone before, and when war broke out in August 1914, Dunelmians were

not slow in coming forward, and it will be seen in the pages that

follow in this book that the traditions of former generations have

been worthily upheld.

On the mobilization of the Auxiliary Forces many Old Dunelmians were

embodied, in addition to those Regulars who went overseas in the 

"contemptible little Army" many who had served as volunteers in the

South African War received commissions, and many more enlisted, 

chiefly in one or other of the Public Schools' Battalions

--------------------------------------------------------------

Page viii

of the Royal Fusiliers, the majority of the latter afterwards 

receiving commissions. The first School War List, published in 

December 1914, contained 164 names, and was necessarily very 

incomplete. At that time three Old Dunelmians were known to have given 

their lives, two of them Regular soldiers, and the third, Lieutenant 

Martin James Richardson, a volunteer, who set a fine example by 

joining the Royal Army Medical Corps at the age of forty-nine in 

September 1914.

By the summer of 1915, however, the list of Old Dunelmians who had 

fallen had grown lamentably long. In the spring the Territorial Force 

Divisions proceeded to France and Gallipoli, and when the Northumbrian

Division, afterwards known to fame as the 50th Division, was rushed 

across the Channel into Belgium and hurled straight into the Second 

Rattle of Ypres and the horrors of the first gas attack, many 

Dunelmians fell or were wounded, for a large proportion of the 

Officers in that Division came from the School. Gallipoli, also, took 

its toll, and, as the new armies began to find their way into the 

fighting, more names were added to the list. From 1916 onwards until

the Armistice in November 1918, that list grew longer and longer, 

with the result that the biographies which follow total ninety-five.

When one reads those biographies one cannot but be struck by the 

number of lives full of youthful promise that have been cut short. 

Every walk of life, every profession, is represented. By the deaths of

Noel Hodgson and Noel Oxland the literary world has suffered

--------------------------------------------------------------

Page ix

a distinct loss. Hodgson's "Verse and Prose in Peace and War" is but 

an indication of the heights to which its author might have been 

expected to attain, and, full of references to the School as it is, 

that little green book-should for over find a place in the book-

shelves of all Dunelmians. The Church, too, has made its sacrifice,

and is the poorer by the deaths of E.W. Trevor, who died in the 

performance of his duties as a chaplain, and of E.J.R. Briggs-

Gooderham, who fell as a combatant. The law, chartered accountancy, 

architecture, agriculture, commerce, and all kindred occupations are 

represented in the list, and many men who have upheld the Durham 

athletic traditions are gone. It is not necessary to name them, for 

their names will not be forgotten, but there is one name that stands 

out, and that is the name of "Charlie" Adamson. Splendid sportsman and 

true friend of the School, he never spared himself in the furthering 

of football and cricket at the School. As a coach he was responsible 

for many of the victories of recent years on the football field, and 

by his death the School has suffered a great loss.

With regard to the total number of Old Dunelmians who served in His 

Majesty's Forces during the war, some difficulty has been experienced

in tracing many who probably saw service. At the same time the list 

may be taken as being fairly complete, containing as it does 535 

names. Many distinctions were gained by Old Dunelmians during the War, 

and they will be found opposite their names in the list of those who 

served in the Army, Navy and Air Force. The following is a brief 

summary of these decorations and distinctions:

A School Chapel is to be built to preserve the memory of those who

have gone. It is not at present possible to say when it will be 

built, and this book has been compiled in the hope that it will assist 

to keep their memories green. The School has suffered heavily in the 

War, as have all the Schools, and it is the duty of those who have 

been spared to preserve the memories of those who by their sacrifice 

have made it possible for the School to continue its functions and 

carry on its traditions. It is hoped, therefore, that this book will 

afford some measure of consolation to the relatives and friends of 

those who will never visit Durham again, and that at the same time it

will be a source of inspiration to future generations of Dunelmians.

THE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS, 1914-1919.

The formation of a contingent of the O.T.C. at the School (delayed as 

it had been for some years owing to the question of numbers) was 

approved by the War Office in the early summer of 1914, but a real 

start could not be made until the Autumn of that year. The outbreak of 

war raised many difficulties, but nevertheless real progress was made, 

and a supply of uniforms, arms and equipment was not, in the 

circumstances, long delayed.

The first officer to command the Corps was the Headmaster (Rev. K.D. 

Budworth). He was ably supported in the heavy work which attended the 

early organisation by the Rev. P.E. James and Sergeant Major (now 

Lieut.) J.S. Simpkin, the Durham Light Infantry. Had not the war 

intervened, the Corps would have had another officer in A.J. Dingle, 

O.D., who had already given assistance in the early stages of its 

formation, but he received a commission in the 6th East Yorkshire 

Regiment in September 1914, and fell in action in 1915.

In 1915 a third officer, 2nd Lieut. J.P.M. Blackett, was added, and in 

the Autumn term of 1916 Mr. James took over the duties of Commanding 

Officer from the Headmaster. At the commencement of the School year, 

1917-18, Mr. Blackett succeeded Mr. James as Commanding Officer when 

the latter sailed for the East as an Army Chaplain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 196

Meanwhile Lieut. J.S. Simpkin, who had crossed to France in 1915, had 

been invalided home, and the War Office attached him to the contingent 

for duty. Lieut. A.T. Wicks, Royal Garrison Artillery (Special 

Reserve) also was attached for some months after his return to the 

School Staff in March 1919, and the Instructional Staff has been 

further augmented by the return of Sergeant P. Geden, the 

Worcestershire Regiment, who not only instructs in physical training, 

but also assists with the musketry and recruit squads. Sec. Lieut. 

E.A. Woodard was gazetted during the Christmas term, 1919.

Very considerable credit is due to those members of the Corps who have 

held the rank of Cadet Officer or N.C.O. during these five years, and 

the efficiency of the Unit is largely owing to their unselfish work. 

The Cadet Officers since 1914 have been:—H.K. Temperley and C.F. 

Casper (1914-1915); R.C. Gunn (1915); T.C. Squance (1916); H.C. Ferens 

(1917); and R.G. Henderson (1917-1918); whilst the following have held 

the rank of Company Sergeant Major:—H.C. Ferens (1916); W.N.C. 

Crawhall (1917-1918); T.C.H. Sanderson (1918-1919); L. Ferens (1919-

1920).

The Corps is at present organised into three Platoons, viz.;—No. 1, 

School House; No. 2, Second Master's House; No. 3, Langley House; 

while the Day Boys are divided between Nos. 2 and 3. There are also 

five Recruit Squads, the strength of which is considerable, owing to 

the School's increasing numbers.

During the war the contingent attended three "unofficial" camps (since 

all the regular camps were suspended), and

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 197

in addition a number of boys volunteered for a flax-harvest camp in 

the summer of 1918. The experience gained has been invaluable, and 

much disappointment was caused this year by the fact that the War 

Office had to cancel the first camp which was to be held under 

something approximating to pre-war conditions at Welbech Abbey.

Competitions take place annually for two cups, the first for Inter-

House Shooting, and the second, presented in 1915 in memory of the 

late Rev. C.B. Watts Moses, O.D., for the smartest platoon. A third 

cup, presented in 1918 in memory of Lieut. H.K. Temperley, O.D., for 

the most efficient N.C.O., is awarded on the vote of the N.C.O.'s 

themselves. It was held by W.N.C. Crawhall in 1918, and T.C.H. 

Sanderson in 1919.

A band, comprising drum, side drums and bugles, was formed during the 

Headmaster's period of command and is now in a most flourishing 

condition. Great credit is due to the members, who are almost entirely 

self-taught, and whose efficiency and smartness has reached a high 

level.

Shooting, hitherto a weak subject owing to the lack of facilities for 

training, is being materially improved as a result of the new syllabus 

and increased staff; promotion to non-commissioned rank is dependent 

in part on the results of a practical examination, and it is hoped 

that Certificate A will be started again during the coming School year 

(1919-20).

The following figures for the five years ending July 1919, will be of 

interest as showing the extent of the contingent's work:—

THE SCHOOL WAR MEMORIAL.

It has been decided that the School War Memorial shall take the form 

of a Chapel, and the building will he commenced as soon as the 

necessary funds have been obtained.

It is hoped that a memorial worthy of Old Dunelmians who have fallen, 

and of the School, will be erected.

Contributions will be gratefully received.

                                              R.D.B.

*

Of these 19 were serving in Senior O.T.C.'s and 17 in Cadet Units at 

the end of the war.
