            The 
              War Memorial Tablet was unveiled and dedicated by the Rev. C. J. 
              N. Child, M.A., former Headmaster of the School, on May 1st, 1924. It 
              was situated at the end of the School Hall and consisted of three 
              central panels and two larger side panels, surmounted by the School 
              Crest and Motto, with the dates "1914" and "1919." The whole was 
              in an oak frame. There were eighty-nine names inscribed on the panels. 
              The inscription above the names on the centre panels was: "These 
              died for Britain," and below the names: "Their spirit endureth for 
              ever." The architect was Mr. I. Buckerfield. The 
              following is a short synopsis of the service: Hymn, "O Valiant Hearts"; 
              three prayers, the first being the "Pater Noster"; then the lesson 
              from Wisdom ii, 23 and iii, 5; then followed the prayer, "Remember 
              O Lord," and unveiling and dedication of the Memorial. After the 
              Nunc Dimitis came the address and the hymn "For all the saints." 
              Except during the lesson, the assembly remained standing throughout 
              the service. The 
              County High School for Boys is now Hills Road 6th Form College and 
              the memorial is in a corridor of the main building. 1914-1919THESE DIED FOR BRITAIN

 Extract from 
                Cambridge Daily News - Thursday 16 May 1918: BURWELL SERGT. 
                CHARLES BROWN.—Mrs. 
                Brown, of Burwell, widow of Mr. John Brown, for many years Inspector 
                to the Newmarket Urban Council has received official information 
                of the death in action of her youngest son, Sergt. Charles Brown, 
                of the Bantam Battalion of the Suffolks. Sergt. Brown was 24 years 
                of age last August. He was for 18 months in the office of the 
                Ocean Company in Cambridge, when joined Barclay’s Bank and 
                served with the utmost satisfaction at their Oundle, Leicester, 
                and Uppingham branches of that bank. When the war broke out volunteered, 
                but was rejected being under the standard height. When he learned 
                that his friend, the late Lieut. Tom Blackwell, had joined the 
                Bantam Battalion of the Suflolks, he immediately applied and was 
                accepted. They came home on leave together, both sergeants. Tom 
                Blackwell went to France, but Brown was given home billets, until 
                he told the authorities that he was tired of “cushy” 
                jobs, and wanted real soldiering. So he was sent out to France. 
                He was in the big German attack March 21st of this year, and wrote 
                home: “It will a huge relief to you to know that I have 
                escaped without scratch.” He was in the midst of the German 
                attack April 8th, and in this he was shot through the head and 
                killed instantly. At any rate, such is the information furnished 
                by the O.C. of his company, but in the carnage and confusion there 
                may be an error of identification. Mrs. Brown has had letters 
                of condolence from the directors and officials of Barclay’s 
                Bank; from Mr. Praed, who has charge of the Leicester and Uppingham 
                Banks; and from the Rev. C. J. N. Child (Headmaster the Cambridge 
                County School), all speaking in high terms of praise of her son.

                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."  |

              burns accidentally received whilst on duty the previous day. Buried 
              in Samarra British Cemetery. His 
              Major wrote, he was badly burned in a fire in the signal office 
              on the evening of 30th May. Your son came out with a draft I brought 
              from England and, indeed he was acting as my personal attendant 
              till we arrived in India. I think I can say we looked on each other 
              as friends and he was unusually popular. Some 
              comrades also wrote, when we say we lost a chum, we mean a friendship 
              has been broken which was built up more strongly as the days passed. 
              As time went by, we knew he had a heart of gold and was a lad worthy 
              of confidence, may it bring some comfort to you to know that Cyril 
              had earned the good fellowship of all ranks, from the major downwards, 
              for his good work, and his ever willingness to do a pal a turn was 
              a byword among us. |

 Extract

                OFFICER’S DEATH. Lieut. E. M. Porter Drowned While Scouting in Ægean Sea.
  
                We deeply regret to record the fact 
                that Lieut. E. Marsden Porter, R.A.F., eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. 
                Everard L. Porter, of the Manor, Haddenham, was drowned while 
                scouting in the Ægean Sea. The young officer, who was in 
                his 25th year, was educated at Soham Grammar School and Cambridge 
                County School, and being of an engineering turn of mind, devoted 
                his studies in that direction until the outbreak of the war, when 
                he joined the Huntingdon Cyclist Corps in September 1914. In the 
                following December he transferred into the Royal Naval Armoured 
                Car Section, with which he was drafted for active service in the 
                East in August, 1915, and was at Gallipoli onwards until the evacuation. 
                Afterwards he went to Egypt, and on returning to England and the 
                disbandment of the Armoured Car Section, he obtained a commission 
                in the Royal Naval Air Service, and obtained his pilot’s 
                certificate in September, 1916. In November 1917 he was drafted 
                again to the East Mediterranean and attached to one of H.M. ships, 
                upon which he was dispatched thither only a fortnight before he 
                met with the unfortunate accident which resulted in the loss of 
                a young life full of promise for the future, as is evidenced in 
                the following extracts from a letter dated August 8th, received 
                from Commanding Officer confirming the sad news of his death:- 
                  
                “I regret exceedingly having to cause you further anguish, 
                but I feel that you and your son’s relatives and friends 
                must be anxiously awaiting details of the circumstances attending 
                on the occurrence which unfortunately ended a life abounding in 
                promise of fame and honour in the service of his King and country. 
                  
                "Lieut. Porter had only joined this station from Base Headquarters 
                a fortnight ago, but in few days had made himself beloved by every 
                one of his messmates by his never-failing optimism and cheerfulness. 
                He was engaged in scout duty in connection with suppression of 
                the submarine menace and was flying a of seaplane on which he 
                was singularly skilful. On the morning of the 6th he left at dawn 
                in the most peaceful, calm weather; in fact, such conditions as 
                to necessitate extra caution in landing, as the water, being mirror-like, 
                is most deceiving, and most difficult to locate the surface. On 
                returning to make the landing his machine was seen to fly at maximum 
                speed straight into the water, and eye-witnesses say there was 
                doubt at all that the pilot was confident that he was still a 
                fair height from the water. The machine was completely wrecked, 
                and sank instantly. When the wreck was brought ashore the pilot 
                was found entangled among wires and other fabric, and resuscitation 
                was begun at nonce. After 35 minutes work, Dr. Loutitt, R.N.V.R., 
                declared life extinct.   
                "The obsequies were held the same day, he being accorded 
                an Air Force funeral, with full honours. There was a large attendance 
                of military and naval officers, as well as diplomatic representatives 
                of England, France, Italy, and Russia. The local garrison kindly 
                loaned their hand and a large escort. There were several lovely 
                wreaths." |

                OLD COUNTY SCHOOL BOY KILLED.  
               
                 
                  The news of the death in France of Lnc.-Corpl. Frederick Ralph 
                  Ryder, of the 1st Cambs., an old County School boy, will cause 
                  deep regret to many past and present members of the school. 
                  Pte. Ryder, who was killed in action on June 3rd. was only 19 
                  years of age. He was the son the late partner in the firm of 
                  Messrs. Ryder and Amies, of King’s-parade, and his mother 
                  lives in Tenison-road. He entered the County School September, 
                  1917, and was there for four years.   
                  Second-Lieut. E. Wood, deceased’s officer, writing to 
                  Mrs. Ryder, says: “lt is with very great sorrow that I 
                  have to inform you of the death of your son, Lnc.-Corpl. F. 
                  R. Ryder (2075). He was shot by a sniper while working in the 
                  trenches on the afternoon of June 3rd; we buried him the same 
                  evening in the cemetery at Houplinea, Armentieres.   
                  “l cannot express to you how much we feel his loss in 
                  the platoon. From the very first day the battalion came into 
                  action he proved to be one of our most cheerful and capable 
                  N.C.O.’s.   
                  ‘‘His influence was always excellent; and I am voicing 
                  the feelings of the officers, N.C.O.’s and men of the 
                  company, and especially of his platoon —with whom he was 
                  a great favourite—when I say that the loss of him is most 
                  deeply felt.”   
                  Another old boy. Pte. C. W. Bishop, writing the Rev. C. J. N. 
                  Child, headmaster, gives particulars of Ryder’s death. 
                    
                  “I know that you and the whole school,” he writes, 
                  “will be more than grieved to hear of the sad death of 
                  Freddy Ryder. He was shot through the head yesterday afternoon, 
                  and died an hour afterwards, being unconscious the whole time. 
                  He was in the same platoon as myself, and was killed only a 
                  few yards from me. I believe it was a sniper that got him.” 
                    
                  “Our platoon officer, Lieut. Woods, and a party two N.C.O.‘s 
                  and two men, including myself, and two other old boys, Corpl. 
                  Jones and Pte. Struggles, buried Freddy in a graveyard, some 
                  distance behind the trenches, and our officer read parts of 
                  the Burial Service. We then marched back to our places in the 
                  trenches. A cross and some flowers have to-day been placed over 
                  Freddy’s grave.   
                  “It would be impossible to explain you how sad the whole 
                  platoon feels at their loss of such a brave fellow. He was liked 
                  by everyone. We have a consolation in knowing that it was God’s 
                  will, and all pray that he will comfort the bereaved. I think 
                  you will agree with me when I say that the Old Boys have made 
                  their old school’s name even more famous by the splendid 
                  way in which such numbers of them have rallied to the flag.” 
                    
                  Lnc.-Corpl. P. Paisley, of 95. Chesterton-road, his cousin, 
                  who is also in the Cambs. Regiment., helped to bury him.
