There follow analyses of those who joined which sphere of service and their ranks.
770 names, date they left the school, ranks, regiment, plus the details of 8 teachers.
See transcript.
1. This Roll was the ninth draft to try and ascertain all the names of former pupils who had served. Advertising had been placed in various newspapers and publications. The results contained either very full descriptions or scanty ones. The final result would be published.
2. The school was about to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The war had shortened the length of stay for some pupils to two years, others had attended for four years.
3. There were ten of these draft lists published. They obviously get longer with each version. The information for some people is repeated in later versions. The result can be a bit confusing, so an Index has been prepared See the link below.

NINTH DRAFT, somewhat Rough and Incomplete, Made December 21st, 1917,
OF AN
OLD BEDANS’ ROLL OF HONOUR,
In the FINAL FORM of which Roll it is hoped to place
the NAMES of all OLD BOYS of BEDE SCHOOL (1890-1917)
who were in any Branch of His Majesty’s Military or Naval Forces
during the GREAT WAR which began in 1914.
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
A. An attempt has been made to procure information as to the (1) Name,
(2) Rank, (3) Regiment, Ship, or other Section of the Army or Navy, and
(4) Present Station, of EVERY OLD BOY on military or naval service at any
time during the War.
Also, information has been sought with regard to Every Old Boy who, while
serving in the War, has (1) Fallen, or (2) Become one of the Missing, or (3)
Been Wounded, or (4) Been Taken Prisoner, or (5) Gained Special Distinction.
B. The Roll here given is based upon the materials at present available, and
contains the names of 770 Old Bedans (including several who left School to
enlist), of whom 700 are or were in the Army or Air Service and 70 in the
Navy.
An Analysis based on RANK gives the following figures :
- ARMY:
203 Officers (1 Major, 36 Captains, 1 Chaplain, 56 Lieutenants,
109 Second-Lieutenants).
160 Non-Commissioned Officers (1 Co. Sergt-Major Instructor,

Corps.

1 Gunner, 2 Wireless Operators, 2 Writers, 1 Able Seaman, 4 Ordinary
Seamen, 1 Man in Armourer’s Crew, 1 Cook’s Mate, 2 Stokers,
4 First-Class Boys).
(At the foot of the Roll appear the Names of 8 Bede School Masters (1 Killed
in action) belonging to the Army. Not being Old Boys of the School, they are
not included in the foregoing Analysis; but the Clerk, an Old Boy serving,
is so included. Next are given the Names of 3 Sons of Masters, belonging to
the Army (including 1 Killed in action and 2 Wounded): these are not Old
Bedans. Also, the names of 5 Masters who Attested under Lord Derby’s Scheme,
are shown at the foot of the Roll. One of these is an Examiner in the
A.I.D.)
C. Summary Of CASUALTIES. –
Killed in action or Died of Wounds, 77; Died while serving, 3; Missing, 4;
Wounded, Gassed, or Shell-Shocked, 114; Prisoners of War, 6; Total, 204.
D. Summary of DECORATIONS and DISTINCTIONS. –
Military Cross, 18; Bar to Military Cross, 1; Distinguished Conduct Medal,
2; Military Medal, 8; Bar to Military Medal, 2; Distinguished Service Medal,
1; Cross of Chevalier of Legion of Honour, 1; Mentioned in Despatches, 7;
Total 40.
E. PLACE OF STATION of Men still serving. –
British Isles, 217 (including Wounded & Invalided); British Overseas
Dominions (chiefly India & Egypt), 31; Italy, 3; Palestine & Persia, 5;
At Sea, 65; Salonika, 17; Mesopotamia, 10; Germany, 6; France and Flanders,
336; Total, 690.
(N.B.-80 have been killed in action, or have died while serving.)
Of the men shown as being in the British Isles, not a few, probably, are
already abroad, and many others are certain to go abroad before long.
F. The figures placed after each Old Boy’s name in the Roll show the year
of his leaving the School.
G. The Growth of the Roll has been steady. Here are the Dates when the
different Drafts were printed, and the Number of Names in each Draft: –
1st, Dec., ’14, 180; 2nd, March, ’15, 240; 3rd, July, ’15, 320;
4th, Dec.,’15, 440; 5th, April, ’16, 515; 6th, July, ’16, 570;
7th, Dec., ’16, 627; 8th, July, ’17, 730; 9th, Dec., ’17, 770.
H. Though hundreds of hours have been willingly and gladly devoted to the
collection and arrangements of particulars, the Roll is probably incorrect
in places, and is without doubt very incomplete. It will be augmented and
amended from time to time as additional information is received, and will be
published afresh in each number of The Bedan which appears during the War.
My colleague, Mr (now Gunner) T.H. Blyth assisted me to compile the earlier
Drafts. Mr J. H. Smithwhite has helped with the last four.
Readers will observe that the present Draft, unlike the earlier ones, fails
to specify the battalion or battery to which a man belongs, and leaves out
nearly all exact details about him. The omissions have been made
deliberately, to comply with a widely-issued War Office Notice, the aim if
which is to prevent the Inadvertent Disclosure of Military Information in
periodicals, rolls of honour, reports of war work, and similar publications.
But a record is kept at the School of such things as an Old Boy’s battalion,
his address, etc.- though, of course, it will not be printed until it can be
published freely.
I particularly beg that anybody who notices anything erroneous or out-of-
date in the Roll, or any name omitted which ought certainly to appear, will
kindly write to me about the matter. Often a few lines on a post-card will
suffice.
The whole School is most grateful to Old Boys who support in arms
the cause of King and Country, and also to their parents and friends. We are
wishful and eager, as has already been indicated, to have a full list of
those Old Boys’ names. We shall watch, with pride, interest, sympathy, and
affection, the careers of all Old Bedans taking part in the War; and we
shall ever remember with special gratitude the men who fall. We hope and
pray that, by making the supreme sacrifice, they may gain an even better
reward than grateful remembrance.” Whosoever shall lose his life shall
preserve it “(Luke xvii. 33); and an Old Bedan who dies in battle for the
right may perhaps then first realise the full significance of his school
motto Post Tenebras Lux: After Darkness, Light.
