INTRODUCTION

This book is dedicated to the members of the Giggleswick School community who lost their lives in the Great War of 1914 to 1918.

In autumn 1914 the Headmaster, R N Douglas, wrote in the Chronicle:

“When the School broke up at the end of last term the cloud on the horizon was only as large as a man’s hand, and those who had so much as noticed it thought it would soon disperse. But all too rapidly it grew, and the darkening heavens darkened too the Earth and the waters under the Earth……, there is a long list of Old Boys who have answered their Country’s call, ready if need be “To face Some awful moment to which Heaven has join’d Great issues, good or bad for human kind.”

“We shall watch their doings with mingled pride and anxiety as they help “to tell the Universe what o’clock it really is.”” With the early adoption of an Officer Training Corps, and long history of sending young men into the military, it is perhaps unsurprising that over 800 Old Giggleswickians saw active service during the period 1914-1919. They fought in every service and in every field of operations. More than one in seven who went to fight never returned.

In these pages are the bold facts about the ultimate sacrifice made by OGs for their country. Of the 125 young men who died many were lost in the mud of the Western Front, others died at sea or in the air. Some are buried in a foreign field, others died of horrific wounds many years after the armistice of 1918. Each death masks a story, a family’s tragic loss. Private and Brigadier General, Yorkshireman and Lancastrian, bank clerk and surgeon, this book commemorates their sacrifice. In the words of General Goddard when opening the Memorial library in 1926; “In honouring these men, we also honour the sacrifice of those who loved them; nor do we forget the unrecorded sufferings of many others, who served their country and survived.”

Mark M TurnbullHeadmaster

FOR THE FALLEN

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,England mourns for her dead across the sea.

Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royalSings sorrow up into immortal spheres,

There is music in the midst of desolationAnd a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morningWe will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;They sit no more at familiar tables of home;

They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;They sleep beyond England’s foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,

To the innermost heart of their own land they are knownAs the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;

As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,To the end, to the end, they remain.

ADDITIONS TO THE ROLL OF HONOUR

The sheer scale of the conflict, in terms of both numbers of men who saw active service and the numerous theatres of operation, inevitably made the task of compiling the Roll of Honour nearly impossible. The Headmaster of the day, RN Douglas, attempted to compile a list from submissions to the Chronicle. This formed the basis of a Roll of Honour published in the Atkinson School Register of 1921 and of the memorial tablet in Chapel. The project to build a larger memorial in the form of a library was completed in 1926. Here the Roll of Honour was carved into two great benches which now sit either side of the fireplace.

During the course of the compilation of this book we have become aware of the following OGs who also died on active service during the Great War: TC Andrews AE Oddy

We also noticed the following inconsistencies between the three lists:

JH Wharton is commemorated in the Memorial Library. He lived long enough to see the end of the war and the compilation of the Roll of Honour in 1921. Sadly he died in 1924 from wounds sustained in 1916. He is remembered here.

WP Unwin was later added to the Chapel Memorial but not on the Roll of Honour in the Library. He is also remembered here.

DOC Maggs is mentioned in the List of Old Boys Killed in Action in the Atkinson Register. However, although being posted “Missing presumed dead”, he survived the war. He went on to marry Alice Walker in Skipton in 1924 and fathered two sons. It was reported to the OG Club that he died in Eastbourne in 1977.

The illustration opposite is of the Chapel War Memorial, that of the Roll of Honour in the Memorial Library is shown below.
