CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY, ST CATHARINE'S COLLEGE WAR MEMORIAL

The Cambridge University, St Catharine's College War Memorials take the form of wooden panels in the college chapel that are decorated with carvings of the college coat of arms and laurel leaves.

The following notes apply:

[date] indicates date of matriculation.
(1914) indicates those who were admitted for the Michaelmas Term of 1914, but who never actually matriculated.
A date marked with an asterisk denotes that the person to whom the entry refers joined the College in that year by some procedure other than matriculation, e.g. by migration from another College or the non-collegiate body.

The extra details here are taken from `The War List of the University of Cambridge, 1914 – 1918’ by G.V. Carey. (Cambridge University Press, 1921.) However, some names listed in this publication do not appear on the memorial, and they have been omitted from the table below.

M denotes those mentioned in despatches.
MC denotes Military Cross
