was resumed next day and led to far-reaching results . . . . He
had not been long with us, but he was very popular with us all,

ROLL OF HONOUR.
A POST OFFICE CASUALTY.
Mr and Mrs. Cowling, of 68, Panton-street, Cambridge, have received
official information that their son, Signalling-Instructor Cyril
Frank Cowling, Civil Service Rifles (London Regt.) was killed
in action on September 15th The first intimation was received
from three of his friends of the same section, one of them,
Rifleman Cyril Barsham, being with him when he died. They were
in a newly-captured German trench, and were sending messages
to the rear, when Instructor Cowling was hit by shrapnel in
the neck, which severed the artery and caused his death. Instructor
C. F. Cowling, before joining up, was on the staff of the P.O.
Engineering Office, Hills-road. He was a fine young man, with
a promising career before him, and, as evidenced by the many
letters of sympathy that have been received by his parents from
all parts, was loved and respected by all who knew him. At the
outbreak of the war he asked to be released from his duties
in order to join the Army, but that being already a Civil Servant,
it was not until June, 1915, that permission was given. He and
others of his colleagues then enlisted straight away. They had
been preparing themselves to serve as signallers, and composed
themselves a Signalling Section of Cambridge men in the London
Rifles. It was while at Chelsea Barracks in special training
that Rifleman Cowling qualified as a signalling-instructor.
His regiment was stationed at Winchester, and on his return
he discovered his friends had been drafted out in France and
he at once asked that his name might be added to the next draft
to be sent out, sacrificing his position as lance-corporal and
other provisions in order to be with his friends. They soon
met again, and he became instructor as before. lnstructor Cowling
was a native of Sawston, and was educated first at the Council
school, afterwards at the County School, Cambridge. He prepared
for the Civil Service, and in due time entered it, serving respectively
London, Birmingham and Cambridge. Mr. and Mrs. Cowling have
received many letters from the deceased’s friend, expressing
their sympathy and paying high tributes to his good qualities.
Rifleman Barsham wrote: “I have lost in Cyril the best
pal a fellow could have, and miss him more than I should like
to say. He was a splendid fellow, and the most popular in the
Section. All the fellows wish me to tell you so. He died a hero’s
death, also a Christian.” Rifleman Rayner, who has since
died of wounds wrote: "He was like a brother to me, as
you know, and if it is God’s will that I should some day
go as well, I pray that it may be as bravely and calmly as your
dear son." Rifleman H. Rice (once seriously wounded) said
in a letter: “We with whom he had been associated so long
greatly feel the loss, and on behalf of his many friends I extend
to you both our very deep sympathy." Sapper R. P. Patterson
says I can truly say that Cyril was the best pal that I have
ever had, or ever hope to have.” Chaplain J. F. Alfred
Baker states; "His chums speak most highly and affectionately
of his straight, manly, and lovable disposition."

Extract
from Cambridge Independent Press - Friday 19 March 1915:
KILLED
IN ACTION.
Local Names in the Casualty List.
SUFFOLKS’
LOSSES.
The past week has brought news of the t death at the front of many
local soldiers, chiefly belonging to the Suffolks.
Sergt.
John Wallage [sic], Cambridge.
We
regret to announce the death of Sergt. John Wallage [sic], of the
1st Suffolks, which occurred in the trenches on March 5th. Sergt.
Wallage [sic] was well known in Cambridge, for before he rejoined
the colours on August 4th he had served for four years in the Cambridge
Borough Police Force, and was looked on as a man of great promise.
He was born in 1886 at Woodditton, near Newmarket, where his parents
still reside, and before joining the force in Cambridge in 1911
he served his time in the 1st Suffolk Regiment. On being recalled
to the colours he was promoted to the rank sergeant, and has been
at the since the outbreak of the war. The Chief Constable, Mr. Charles
E. Holland, has received the following letter from the late sergeant’s
father, Mr. Thomas Wallage [sic], under date March 11th, 1915: Dear
Sir, I much regret to inform you of the death of my dear son, which
occurred last Friday. He was shot through the head while in the
trenches, and his death was immediate. We had letter from his officer
saying it was only too true that he died fighting for his country.”
P.C. Wallage [sic], besides being one of the most promising men
in the force, was also the best runner, and one the best rifle shots
in the Borough Police Miniature Rifle Club. He early established
a reputation as an athlete at the Borough Police Sports, and also
figured in several other sports meetings, winning numerous prizes.
It remembered once how his turn speed proved of considerable value
while on duty, when he gave chase to and caught some runaway thieves
in the Madingley-road. He was a man of genial good nature, very
much attached to his work, and respected throughout the force, and
in a wide circle of friends outside for his many sterling qualities.
His death will be deeply regretted, though his friends can take
some consideration from the fact that he died as he would like to
have died, doing his duty. |
