Cenotaph War Memorial
World
War 1 & 2 - Roll of Honour with detailed information
Compiled and Copyright © Chris Collier & Martin Edwards 2005
The
Singapore Cenotaph is close to the entrance to the Singapore River in
the park area before the old Singpaore Club. It commemorates both World
War 1 and World War 2 but only contains the names of those who died during
World War 1. The two World Wars are on opposite sides of the memorial
and each year of the war is carved into an individual step of the memorial.

The
Straits Times, 10 August 1915, Page 6
The Late Lieutenant Colin W.Burnley Campbell
We extract the following from the Oban Times, (the Argyleshire county
paper) of 10th ulto., viz :—"Gleudaruel. Obituary: —
The deepest gloom was cast over the district when it became known
that Lieut. Colin W. Burnley Campbell, of Ormidale, was killed in
action in France. The sympathy of all classes of the community are
with Colonel and Mrs. Burnley Campbell in their sore bereavement.
Kind, affable, generous and courteous, the late Lieutenant was a
great favourite with everyone with whom he came in contact. Of the
28 persons who joined the army from this parish since the war began,
he has been the first to fall at the post of duty. He was an engineer,
and, on the completion of his apprenticeship, he secured a good
position in the firm of Sir John Jackson and Co., London. When the
war broke out he was with this firm in Singapore, and immediately
resigned his situation. Having obtained a commission in the Argyll
and Sutherland Highlanders, he went, in the highest spirits, to
France with his regiment on May 26, and fell in action on June 27.
It may be truly said of him that he gave his life for his country
which he loved so well." With reference to the above we would
mention that, in the person of Lieutenant Burnley Campbell, the
Associated Scottish Pipers of Malaya have paid their first toll
to the war. |

LES MARIE LOUISES AU FRONT
A telegram received in Singapore reports that Mr. Harald de Bondy,
the youngest son of Comte de Bondy, French consul here has left
for the front, on the 29th of March. It is an interesting fact
to note as, until now, the class 16 to which Mr. de Bondy belongs
had been kept in reserve. Writing at the end of January last,
the young soldier, trained in Nantes in the 91st Infantry, said
“... The class 16 which has been almost one year in the
depots, will not be long before leaving. At the beginning of spring
I expect to be sent to the front to take part in the great offensive.
I am more than ever impatient to go and do my duty, and you can
depend that I shall do my bit to get rid of that "vermine"
......".— We hope, that at the front, the young Marie
Louise will find an occasion to deserve his being classed as a
first rate rifle-shot, and his being complimented several times
by his chiefs : ” . . . The General of the XIth region,"
he wrote on the middle of February, "came and inspected us.
We looked very smart in our uniform bleu horizond. Once the Review
finished, we gave him an exhibition of shooting at 75 metres.
I was chosen with two others. Out of 8 shots. I got seven in the
bull's eye, and one just a little off it. I was congratulated:
"My boy, the General said, I pity the one that finds himself
in front of your rifle when you are at the front!”

Extract
from The Bond of Sacrifice Volume 1 September-December 1914:
2nd
LIEUTENANT STANLEY BENSKIN HENSON, SPECIAL RESERVE, attd. 1st BATTN.
PRINCE ALBERT'S (SOMERSET LIGHT INFANTRY), who was killed
in action at the end of the year 1914, aged twenty-seven years,
was the only son of Dr. and Mrs. Henson, of 2, Derby Street, Mayfair,
and of Elmsett Hall, Wedmore.
He
was educated at King's School, Bruton, and Pembroke College, Oxford,
and obtained an appointment in the Colonial Police some six years
before his death, being stationed in Singapore and Penang.
Soon
after the declaration of war he resigned his appointment and returned
to England. He had joined the Special Reserve of his Regiment as
2nd Lieutenant on probation in September, 1913, and in November,
1914, was attached to the 1st Battalion of his Regiment on going
to the front.
The
officer commanding the battalion gave the following details: “As
to the manner of your son's death, I can only tell you that he died
as a very brave man. He was leading his men in the attack on the
German trenches, and had outstripped the rest of his company by
about twenty yards, when he was shot through the heart and killed
instantly. Those of his company who were fortunate enough to come
out of the action alive speak in the highest terms of your son's
courage. He is a great loss to the Regiment.'”
The
Straits Times, 22 May 1916, Page 8
LOCAL
AND PERSONAL.
A well known planter of Kedah, now holding a commission with the
Expeditionary Force in France, writing on April 16, says : "I
was walking up a certain wood the other day and I came across a
little cemetery, and the first name meeting my eye was, 'S.B. Henson,
2nd Lt., 1st Somerset Light Infantry, killed in action.' Poor lad.
He was a sport, I put a leaf or two on his cross for auld lang syne."

from The Bond of Sacrifice Volume 2 January-June 1915:
LIEUTENANT
HECTOR ALAN LANE, 1st BATTN. EAST LANCASHIRE REGT., who
was killed in action on the 13th May, 1915, near Ypres, was the
only son of John Lane, of Cullisse, Park-stone, Dorset.
He was born on the 2nd June, 1889, at Decorah, Iowa, in the United
States of America, and was educated at Newton College, Newton Abbott,
where he obtained a scholarship from the Law Society, and eventually
became a solicitor.
In March, 1907, he received a commission in the Dorsetshire R.G.A.
Volunteers, with which he served until 1911, when he went out to
Singapore to practise his profession. While there he joined the
Singapore Volunteer Artillery, and at the outbreak of the war he,
with two other officers, was put in charge of a fort. He wrote to
England and offered his services to the War Office, which were accepted,
and he was gazetted 2nd Lieutenant in the East Lancashire Regiment
in September, 1914, as "a candidate from the self-governing
Dominions and Crown Colonies," becoming Temporary Lieutenant
in November and Lieutenant in December, 1914. He reached London
in January, 1915, and was posted to the 1st Battalion, East Lancashire
Regiment, with which he served until his death.
His Colonel wrote of him: “I am very grieved to inform
you that your son was killed on the 13th instant. On the evening
of that day he led his platoon against a farm occupied by the Germans;
he got in all right with his men, and was exchanging shots with
them in the farm buildings when he was shot in the head and died
at once He was only with us a short time, but quite long enough
to show what stuff he was made of. He was a valuable officer, and
did his work very well, and I am very sorry to lose him. He made
himself very popular with all ranks. He is buried at the farm he
took, which is 1,200 yards north of Wieltje, a village north-east
of Ypres.”

Lieutenant Hector A. Lane Killed In Action.
Mr. C. Everitt, of Messrs. Sisson and Delay, was in receipt of a
brief cable yesterday conveying the regrettable intimation that
Mr. Hector A. Lane had been killed in action, presumably in France.
So another exceedingly capable young officer is lost to his country
and many residents in Singapore lose an admirable and highly respected
friend.
During his residence of three years in Singapore, Mr. Lane was a
notable figure among the younger members of the bar and a volunteer
officer whose abilities and enthusiasm had marked him out as a useful
member of the local corps. The only son of Mr. John Lane, of Poole,
Dorset, he was educated at Newton Abbot Grammar School and was trained
to the law in the same offices in Poole as two of his Singapore
confreres — Messrs. Mundell and Dickinson. He completed his
student years creditably by taking third class honours in his final
and was admitted a solicitor at the age of 21, five years ago. During
the same period he held a commission in the Dorset R.G.A. (Territorials).
In that sphere he applied himself to his work with the same conspicuous
ardour and success as in law earned a first-class certificate for
Efficiency and shared with Poole Company — of which he was
gun captain—the honour of winning the King's Prize, the blue
riband of big gun shooting in England. When he came out to the staff
of Messrs. Sisson and Delay in 1911 lie naturally joined the S.V.A.
as a gunner; but he was soon found to be too valuable to remain
in the ranks and was promoted to a 2nd Lieutenancy with only the
preliminary step of bombardier intervening. As an officer he more
than justified his speedy commission and had the confidence of the
whole company, while during the early days of the war he shared
the work in the local forts. He left here in November to offer himself
for service at the front. When he left it was understood that he
was assured a commission with his favourite arm, but on arriving
at home he found that Major-General Reade's recommendation, by some
inadvertence, had missed its way to the War Office, and, rather
than wait indefinitely for entrance to the artillery, he accepted
a commission in a Liverpool Battalion of a Lancashire line regiment.
In his last-received letter to friends in Singapore he said be was
still in training but hoped to be at the front before long. His
heroic death must have overtaken him shortly after arriving in France—a
victim to the terrible conditions under which, it has been estimated,
an officer's period of immunity averages only eleven days.

Extract
from The Bond of Sacrifice Volume 2 January-June 1915:
LIEUTENANT
CHARLES MERVYN PAYTON, 3rd (RESERVE) attd. 1st BATTN. THE QUEEN'S
OWN (ROYAL WEST KENT REGIMENT),
was the only son of Sir Charles A. Payton, M.V.O., late H.M. Consul-General
at Calais, of Stepney Court, Scarborough. He was born on the 5th
December, 1891, at the British Consulate, Mogador, Morocco, and
was educated at Dover College, Dover. Mr. Payton received a commission,
as 2nd Lieutenant, in the 3rd (Reserve) Battalion, Royal West Kent
Regiment, in 1910, becoming Lieutenant in September, 1911. At, the
outbreak of the war with the Central Empires he was employed at
the Colonial Secretary's Office at Singapore. He immediately left
for home to rejoin his battalion, and for active service was attached
to the 1st Battalion of his Regiment. Lieutenant Payton served with
it in France, where, on the 18th April, 1915, he was leading his
men in the attack on Hill 60, and, having picked up a fallen soldier's
rifle, was firing at the enemy when he was killed. He was buried
on the battlefield. For his gallant conduct in the war he was mentioned
in Sir John French's Despatch of the 31st May, 1915.
He was a keen sportsman, a remarkably good shot, and an expert angler.

Death
of Lieut. C. M. Payton.
We regret to have to say that the mail has brought news of the death
of Lieut. C. M. Payton, 1st battalion Royal West Kents, thus confirming
a fear that the officer of that name mentioned in a recent casualty
list who had unit his death in action was the Government official
who had lived here for some little time. Lieut. Payton, who was
recently acting Chief Clerk in the Secretariat, Singapore, went
home to join his regiment at the outbreak of war and was killed
presumably during the fighting at Hill 60. He was a son of Sir Charles
Payton, M.V.O., formerly Consul-General at Calais. |

LESLIE IRVINE LUMSDEN THORNTON, 2nd Lieut., Indian Reserve of
Officers, attached 16th Cavalry, the only and dearly-loved son
of Swinford Leslie Thornton, retired Puisine Judge of the Straits
Settlements, and of Mrs. Thornton, of Uffington, Nuwara Eliya,

The Late Lieut. Thornton.
From letters received by the mail, we (Pinang Gazette) learn that
the late Lieut. Thornton, son of Mr. Justice Leslie Thornton,
met his death in a cavalry charge, by about 70, against an enemy
force (Tangistanis) of about seven times that strength. The affair
happened on the morning of September 9, in resisting a serious
attack on the outpost line near Bushire. The infantry first had
a tough fight, but eventually forced the enemy out of the ravines
on to the open plain, where the cavalry squadron was waiting for
them. The result was a most gallant performance. Mr. Thornton's
commanding officer states that deceased had just before been specially
mentioned for a gallant action in the previous month, when he
brought, in at considerable personal risk, a sowar whose horse
had been killed. The King and Queen telegraphed their condolences
to Mr. Justice Thornton, as did the Commander-in-Chief from Simla
"on the Ioss of your gallant son."
