Charterhouse
School was founded in 1611 in the City of London. In 1872 it moved from
its by then insalubrious surroundings close by Smithfield Meat Market
to its present site overlooking Godalming, where it has thriven mightily
ever since. Over 3,500 Old Carthusians served in the Great War 1914
- 1919 [including the North Russian campaign], in the forces of Great
Britain, its Dominions and its allies, or with those forces in civilian
rôles, and at least one with the German army. Of these, some 670
died: about as many as there were boys in the school at any one time
at that period.
By 1914 the original 1872 school chapel was no longer large enough comfortably
to accommodate the growing numbers of boys and masters. In 1917 a War
Memorial Fund was inaugurated and post-war a new chapel, Memorial Chapel
designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, was built in honour of the fallen:
O.C.s, masters and other school staff. Their names are commemorated
on stone panels set in the eastern half walls of the antechapel. Matching
panels were later set in the western wall bearing the names of some
340 more who fell in the Second World War 1939 - 1945. Several individual
wall plaques have since been added elsewhere in the building, in honour
of Carthusians who have given their lives in some of our latter day
‘savage wars of peace’.

World
War 2 details are held on a separate page and World War
1 are held here. Most of the entries below merely restate information
to be found in the Charterhouse and Commonwealth War Graves Commission
Registers; where these disagree, the C.W.G.C. is invariably followed
for military details, including date of death, the Charterhouse
Register usually for personal and family details. Sparing use has
been made of The Times Digital Archive, and of the Oxford
University Roll of Service and the War List of the University
of Cambridge. In a few cases information is included from other
sources. This is an ongoing project; it is hoped that over time the
numbers more fully researched will increase. The compilers will be grateful
for further information and corrections which may be e-mailed to Roll
of Honour or to Charterhouse
School Archives.
The
bracketed letter preceding dates at Charterhouse indicates school house.
These are:
S Saunderites, V - Verites, G - Gownboys, g - Girdlestoneites [invariably
known within the school as Duckites, from its founding housemaster’s
supposed duck-like gait], L Lockites, W - Weekites, H - Hodgsonites,
D - Daviesites, B - Bodeites, P - Pageites, R Robinites, U Uskites [no
longer in existence], d day boy. [Until about the turn of the 19th/20th
centuries, Robinites was a ‘passage house’ in which no boy
stayed for more than 2 years.]
In
many cases, the Charterhouse Register records little or nothing of the
man’s intervening career after leaving school, or university,
and before joining the forces [or otherwise ‘going to war’].
Brief details are given here where available. As regards the Great War,
those who left Charterhouse 1914 - 1918, can reasonably be supposed
to have joined up at once; those from the preceding decade or so, before
they had properly made their mark. Amongst these, death in the rank
of Army Captain or lower is the norm, with the majority still mere one-pipper
2nd lieutenants, many not yet 21 years old. Nothing could better demonstrate
that War’s decimation of the rising generation.
Where
the Charterhouse Register details a military career pre-Great War, the
essentials are stated, including all medals and civil awards, but mentions
in despatches are given only for the Great War.
Parents’
and wife’s names and residence are included where available. For
the sake of space, and consistency, date of marriage and wife’s
maiden name are routinely omitted.
The
inclusion on the panels of a few names which seem anomalous, by virtue
of date, place or immediate cause of death, may serve to remind us that
in the words of one Carthusian author, describing his boyhood 1914 -
1918: ‘The immense, variegated dark wing of war overshadowed everything.’
War’s shadow always extends far beyond the battlefields, and it
lingers long after the cessation of hostilities.
In
Memorial Chapel itself names are listed by date of school leaving, then
alphabetically save where later additions are slipped into available
space. Here they are given in plain alphabetical order. A few cross
references are included so as to reduce possible confusion as to double
and double-barrelled surnames, and titles.
It
is to be supposed that most of the names here listed appear on at least
one other memorial, and many on several; hence they may well also be
found elsewhere on the Roll of Honour web site. In one researched case
[P.S. Hadley] no less than four other memorials and/or entries have
come to light: one for his preparatory school, one for his Cambridge
college, one for the former military hospital in the UK where he died
and one for his parish church where he lies buried. Some cross-referenced
material is included below, but to chase up every last name would be
impractical.
We
believe the School’s German war dead, one from each war, to be
equally worthy of respectful remembrance; their names and details are
given following the main lists.

of your husband as I had to be constantly up and down the trenches,
and it was during this time I fully grasped his value as a soldier.
He had no Adjutant or Quartermaster, and only two youngsters with
him, and had to do the work of ten, and was always so full of good
spirits and encouragement to his men and example to all, and, above
all, never complaining. God knows how I felt for them all; no words
of mine can express the courage and determination of all ranks,
and the debt I owe them is inestimable. We left those lines in the
night of the 20th, and went down to the beach and got ready for
the big battle next day. We were in Divisional Reserve, with orders
to push through at all costs, the attack to start at 3 p.m. The
Battalion consisted then of about 1,600 men, and I had to divide
the officers who were left so that each battalion had only four
or five officers. The Sherwoods were the leading battalion. The
last I saw of your husband was on the top of Sula baba, as I gave
him and his Commanding Officer final directions, and pointed out
the line of attack and wished them good luck. Your husband was in
front with the leading company, and I watched them all down the
hill and into the plain, and followed myself with Colonel Bosanquet
and the rear company. On the low ground I lost sight of the leading
lines, and after about a mile I had to stop and send a report, and
give instructions to the other battalion who were coming up to the
rear. I never saw either of them again." general Hammesley
also wrote: "Major Blackburne was perfectly splendid in every
way, and everyone was simply devoted to him. While Major Blackburne
was in command for some time when the Colonel was wounded, he did
splendidly. I couldn't say enough to his praise"; and added
that he was a terrible loss to the Regiment and the country, as
he was such a fine soldier and so splendid in every way, and all
ranks regretted his loss, and a brother officer: "It seems
that on the 21st August, about 3 p.m., a party of men were held
up by the enemy's fire south of Chocolate Hill. Major Blackburne
went to rally these and get them forward. he then shouted, 'Are
there any Sherwoods here?' and 15 men got up; these he led forward
and was shot while jumping a bush. His body was afterwards recovered
and buried by another unit. His loss was felt by all the battalion,
and we were left without a leader who had worked wonders in organizing
those men left after the advance of Aug. 9th." he was a well-known
cricketer, was in the Charterhouse XI., played for the Army in ireland
and for Devonshire County, also for the Free Foresters and M.C.C.,
Na Shuler and Phoenix. he was also much interested in literary work.

the point we were making for, and your husband and I were trying
to make out exactly how the situation was, when a shell from some
sort of machine gun came over from our right front, caught me on
the arm and exploded practically on him. His death, of course, was
instantaneous. I saw that much before I had to clear out myself;
there were none but dead and dying just there. It will comfort you
to know he died a brave and gallant soldier, looked on by all of
us as one of the best. I can safely add the sympathy of every officer
and man to mine. He died at the farthest point the Battn. reached
that day," and a brother officer: "I saw Johnston in a redoubt early
next morning and during Sunday (8 Aug.), like most of us, he was
very tired that day, as we had no sleep and practically no food.
He was in good spirits, however. His death has been a great blow
to us, as he was very popular, and deservedly so, in the regt. He
was confident that he would come back all right." Capt. Johnston

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at Huwaish on 28

courage in personally reconnoitring in his own unarmoured car, under
heavy fire, ground over which the heavier armoured cars could not
move. He then returned to guide them to the attack. The success
attained by these cars during the operations was largely due to
his intimate knowledge of the country and fearless leading over
a trackless desert.

He was educated at Charterhouse, and gained several cups at Risley

Temporary Lieutenant, and left for Gallipoli Peninsula in May, attached
to the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. Lieutenant Leland was at Gabà
Tepè only four days. On the day after his arrival he was
ordered to advance up the Nullah at the head of his section. On
turning a bend they cut through wire entanglements and came on hidden
Turkish guns, the fire from which killed almost the entire section,
Lieutenant Leland falling with the rest. Only a few survived the
action, and the trench which they were seeking was not taken until
three weeks afterwards. His body was recovered and buried at Gallipoli.
Lieutenant Leland was very musical, and the writing of music and
verse were his principal hobbies.

Sidney Henry Lowry, from the Inns of Court Officers Training Corps,
to be Captain (temporary). Dated 28th October, 1914.
Extract
from the Stock Exchange Memorial Book:
CAPTAIN
SIDNEY HENRY LOWRY, M.C., Hertfordshire Regiment, was the
son of Henry Lowry and was born in 1888. He was educated at Charterhouse
and Pembroke College, Cambridge. He became a member of the Stock
Exchange in 1913 and a partner in his father's firm, Lowry Bros.,
about the same time.
He had been a member of his school Cadet Corps and the Cambridge
O.T.C. and on the outbreak of war went into training with the Inns
of Court O.T.C. He was given his captaincy in the Hertfordshire
Regiment in November 1914 and went to the Front in the following
January. For some time his Regiment was brigaded with the Brigade
of Guards. He served with his Regiment in France for over two years,
during which time he saw much heavy fighting and gained the Military
Cross. During the spring of 1917 he went through a training course
at Aldershot and was recommended for the post of Second in Command
of a battalion.
Returning to the front soon afterwards, he was killed at the Battle
of St. Julien on 31 July 1917, an action in which the Hertfordshire
Regiment gained great distinction.
His Commanding Officer wrote: “Your son was killed in action,
whilst gallantly leading his company against the final objective.
I don't think a better officer or more gallant man is serving in
the army. It is not only as a splendid officer but as a friend that
we, who had the privilege of knowing him intimately, will always
remember him." |

Edward
Archibald |
Captain.
Born 16th June 1894, 2nd son of George Burgh McNair, solicitor,
and Isabella Frederica McNair, of 5, Harrington St., Calcutta. He
was at Charterhouse [L] 1907 - 1913. He was Head Monitor. He won
a scholarship to Magdalen College, Oxford. In the Great War he was
commissioned into the Royal Sussex Regiment and joined 9th Bn. For
most conspicuous bravery in an action at Hooge on 14th February
1916 he was awarded the V.C. The London Gazette No. 29527, of 28th
March, 1916, records: “When the enemy exploded a mine, Lieutenant
McNair and many men of two platoons were hoisted into the air, and
many men were buried. But, though much shaken, he at once organised
a party with a machine gun to man the near edge of the crater and
opened rapid fire on a large party of the enemy, who were advancing.
The enemy were driven back, leaving many dead. Lieutenant McNair
then ran back for reinforcements, and sent to another unit for bombs,
ammunition and tools to replace those buried. The communication
trench being blocked he went across the open under heavy fire and
led up the reinforcements the same way. His prompt and plucky action
and example undoubtedly saved the situation.” He was promoted Captain.
In August that year he was severely wounded at the Battle of the
Somme. His wounds precluded a return to active service but through
the influence of Edward, Prince of Wales, whom he had come to know
as a fellow-undergraduate at Oxford, on his partial recovery he
was appointed to the General Staff and was later attd. G.H.Q. in
Italy. He developed chronic dysentery and died in hospital at Genoa
on 12th August 1918. His grave is at Staglieno Cemetery, Genoa,
Reference: I. B. 32.
By
one of the War’s many ironies, McNair’s opposite number as deputy
head monitor in 1913 was a Southern Irish boy who remained a non-combatant
throughout. |

IN
LOVING MEMORY OF
GUY FITZGERALD WHARTON
LIEUTENANT 2ND BATTN DURHAM
LIGHT INFANTRY. WHO DIED ON 9TH MAY 1915.
OF WOUNDS AT 2ND BATTLE OF YPRES, AGED 20.
Extract
from The Bond of Sacrifice - Volume 2 January to June 1915:
LIEUTENANT
GUY FITZGERALD WHARTON, 2nd BATTN. DURHAM LIGHT INFANTRY, attd.
1st BATTN. THE KING'S OWN (YORKSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY), was
born on the 5th August, 1894, and was the youngest son of Mr. J.
H. T. and Mrs. Wharton, of Westwood Road, Southampton. Lieutenant
Wharton was a member of a well-known w n military family, his paternal
great – grandfather fought at Waterloo, and all the male members
of his mother's family have been or are in one of the Services.
One brother is a Lieutenant in the Navy, and another is serving
in India.
He was educated at Scaitcliffe, Charterhouse, and the R.M.C., Sandhurst,
from which he was gazetted to the 2nd Battalion The Durham Light
Infantry (formerly commanded by his uncle, Brigadier-General H.
S. FitzGerald, C.B.) on the 8th August, 1914, and was promoted temporary
Lieutenant in November, receiving the substantive rank to date from
December, 1014. For active service in the Great War Lieutenant Wharton
was attached to the 1st Battalion King's Own (Yorkshire Light Infantry),
and went with them to Flanders. He was wounded three tittles while
showing extraordinary gallantry in going out of trenches to rally
his men during a heavy attack at Verlorenhoek, north-east of Ypres,
during the second battle of Ypres on the morning of the 8th May,
1915. He was taken to the Convent of Brandhoek, on the Ypres-Poperinghe
road, where he died on the following day, and was buried in the
meadow adjoining the Convent.
Lieutenant Wharton was keen on all forms of sport; he was a good
rider, and on occasions represented Charterhouse in the cricket
and football field. The Regimental accounts all speak of his popularity
and his cheerfulness under trying conditions, and say that he met
his death doing a very gallant action. His Adjutant adds: “He
was a splendid soldier, loved by the men and mourned by them all."

George Wallace |
His
is one of the names added later to the Chapel panels, after their
installation. He was neither a boy nor a master at Charterhouse.
He was probably therefore a member of the ground or domestic staff,
records of whom for the period are incomplete. Referring to the
C.W.G.C. register 1914 - 1918, he can be identified beyond reasonable
doubt.
Company
Quartermaster Serjeant. Born in Steyning, Sussex in the first quarter
of 1883. Husband of Alice Whiterod of 2 Quarry Road, Hurtmore, Godalming,
Surrey. The 1891 census shows him as a ‘pauper inmate’
in Steyning workhouse, along with his [?] father. He does not appear
in the 1901 census, hence perhaps he had taken the ‘Queen’s
shilling’ and served in South Africa, later became a reservist
and was recalled to the colours in 1914. He served with the Royal
Engineers, 5th Port Construction Company, Inland Water Transport.
He died on 12th November 1918, aged 35. His grave is in St. Sever

Extract
from the Stock Exchange Memorial Book:
CAPTAIN
OSWALD ERIC WREFORD BROWN, Northumberland Fusiliers, was
born in 1877 and educated at Charterhouse, representing his school
at both cricket and football. Before becoming a member of the Stock
Exchange in 1902 he had spent four years in Canada.
Soon after the outbreak of war he joined an Officers Training Corps
and was given his commission in the Northumberland Fusiliers in
November 1914.
He went to France with his Regiment in the following July, and soon
after was promoted to Captain. He was mortally wounded at Fricourt
on 5 July 1916, and died three days later.
His Colonel wrote: "None gave his life with greater gallantry
or showed greater contempt for danger. No one was more solicitous
for the welfare of his men who loved him so well."
And another Colonel under whom he served: “Nobody could possibly
be more unselfish or so unsparing of himself. He treated his company
like his children. All our men, who spent two years nearly with
him, will be the better for it, for he gave them such a splendid
example of always playing the game."
One of his sergeants wrote: “A stouter heart I never knew.
He was a Britisher absolutely, and never flinched. He was everyone's
favourite."
One of his men wrote: "The captain had a heart like a lion."
And another: "He was always a soldier and a gentleman, and
the greatness of his loss to us all cannot be put into words."
A Charterhouse master: " To some of us older ones here . .
this is the worst knock we have had, and that 's saying a good deal.
We shall never forget the keenest and cheeriest of Carthusians." |
