In Remembrance

On April 29th 1922 three young children - the eldest not more than seven years old - moved through a huge crowd which had gathered in Upper Norwood. Each child placed three daffodils - the stems covered with brown tissue paper - in memory of their 'Dear Daddy'.

The occasion was the unveiling of Upper Norwood's war memorial. The South London Press report of May 5th 1922 does not name the children or who their 'Dear Daddy' was.

There are no names on the Upper Norwood war memorial in Westow Street or the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Trophy located at the lower end of Crystal Palace Park. Both of these are Nationally Listed at Grade II.

The following list of those Upper Norwood residents and people who worshipped in various local churches and who gave their lives in The Great War is:
a) almost certainly incomplete; and
b) almost certainly inaccurate in some places.

If you are able to provide any further information on any of those named below or can make any additions to the list, please email: crystalpalacefoundation@hotmail.com and the information will be passed onto to list compiler.

There are plaques to the fallen in three of the five parish churches which cover various parts of Upper Norwood - All Saints on the corner of Church Road and Beulah Hill; St Paul Penge which is actually in Hamlet Road SE19 off Anerley Road and St John's in Auckland Road. St Stephen's Dulwich has a memorial cross outside the church with the names of those who fell. The plaque in Christ Church, Gipsy Hill was destroyed along with most of the church in the huge fire of 1982.

There are also plaques in Upper Norwood Methodist Church off Westow Hill and the former St Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Westow Street which is now the Greek Orthodox Church. Two other churches which stood at the end of the First World War no longer exist. According to Dr Ron Cox, who wrote the Croydon Inventory of War Memorials, all the names on the wooden board (which no longer exists) which stood in St Margaret's in Chevening Road also appear on the All Saints memorial. Central Hill Baptist Chapel, which stood on the corner of Gatestone Road and Central Hill was destroyed by enemy action in World War Two. Whether it had a memorial or not I have yet to ascertain.

St Aubyn's which stood on the corner of Church Road and St Aubyn's Road had a memorial window whose unveiling was reported in the Croydon Advertiser of November 15 1919.. Likewise, I have not yet been able to ascertain whether it had any plaque to the fallen of the Great War.

Among the names listed here you will find two men who were awarded the Victoria Cross (one of whom was among two local men awarded the Croix de Guerre).

They came from all walks of life and all classes - fishmonger's assistant, golf caddie, policeman, shoemaker and two Reverends. And a wide age group including one 16 year old and, as I've just been able to finally establish, there is also one woman on this list.
Among the first local men to die was John Stubbins (6.9.1914) whose name is on the memorial in St Paul. Among the last, a former Rockmount pupil Francis Henry Martin (12.10.1918) and Arthur Edward Prosser 23.10.1918) whose name is on both the St Paul and Penge war memorials.

Queen's Road - now Queen Mary Road lost at least 11 sons; Moffat Road, Thornton Heath at least seven; St Hugh's Road, Anerley at least 10 and Woodland Road, Upper Norwood at least six along with one former pupil of Woodland Road school. At least nine of those named here - and probably more - all died on July 1, 1916 the first day of the Battle of the Somme which in one day saw the deaths of 19,240 British and Commonwealth troops.

Among those who died on that day was one person posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross; two former pupils of what was then Rockmount Road school and three men from the parish of St John's. (Just over a month before, HMS Indefatigable and HMS Queen Mary were sunk in the Battle of Jutland. 1,017 men died on HMS Indefatigable; 1,266 on Queen Mary. You will find the names of one man from each ship here as well).

Some of the people listed here may have lived in your road. Just possibly they lived in the house where you now live. Spare a thought for them. Without them (and those who gave their lives in World War Two) I wouldn't have been able to write this article...... and you wouldn't have been able to read it.

ST.ANDREW'S CHURCH, WESTOW STREET
In what is now the Greek Orthodox Church of St Constantine and St Helen on Westow Street there is a memorial tablet to 12 men who worshipped in the building when it was St Andrew's Presbyterian Church and who died during the Great War (or First World War). Their grave, and/or the memorial on which their name appears, is given at the end.

The tablet is a solid bronze tablet on a marble background. The sources for the information above are: Croydon Advertiser of Saturday May 15th 1920 which contains a report of the tablet's unveiling; a brochure of the unveiling of the plaque on Friday May 7th 1920 by Major-General The Very Rev J M Simms, principal chaplain with the British Army in the field 1914-1920; Croydon and the Great War (together with the Croydon roll of honour) ed. by Alderman H Keatley Moore and W C Berwick Sayers; and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website.

Alexandra Williams for mailonline 14 March 2009
They are the nameless heroes buried in anonymous graves after the carnage of the Great War.

For nine decades their last resting place has been marked simply with the words 'Unknown Soldier' or 'Known Only Unto God'.

But thousands may soon be identified after the discovery of a vast forgotten archive.

For British families who know they have a relative who died in the 'war to end all wars', but have never been able to pinpoint their remains, the discovery could at last provide some comfort.

British historian Peter Barton unearthed the archive, virtually untouched since 1918, in the basement of the Red Cross headquarters in Geneva. The organisation knew it had a vast amount of information there, but Mr Barton is the first to study it in detail. It documents information about the death, burial or capture of more than 20million soldiers from 30 countries who took part in the Great War.

Carefully entered on card indexes or written into ledgers, the details include name, rank, unit, time of death, exact burial location, home addresses and next of kin.

The information has the potential to pinpoint unmarked graves along the Western Front and other battlefields, and could mean headstones which currently mark the grave of an unknown soldier will finally bear a name.

They give detailed directions about where they were dug - many have since been overgrown or built on - and include details which could lead to the identification of soldiers buried in them. 'The emergence of this archive is hugely important,' said Mr Barton. 'It will change the way we look at World War One.

'To a military historian it's like finding Tutankhamun's tomb and the Terracotta Warriors on the same day.

'This archive has been hidden away - not deliberately - for 90 years. We historians just did not know that this existed. The Red Cross tells me I am the first researcher who has ever asked to see it.' Mr Barton, a First World War historian and author, stumbled across the records after being commissioned by the Australian government to find the identities of soldiers found at Pheasant Wood, Fromelles, France.

The trail led him to the Red Cross Museum in Geneva where he was given access to their basement. The records were passed to the Red Cross by the combatant countries at the end of the war.

The Red Cross acted as a gobetween for the protagonists. Information was then copied and passed to the soldiers' home countries but, according to Mr Barton, the UK's copy of the data no longer exists, much of it having been destroyed in the Second World War. The same fate is believed to have befallen the records in France and Germany.

The Red Cross is already working to bring the archive into the computer age.

The organisation has set aside £2.4million to conserve and digitise the paper records. The project will begin in the autumn and will involve experts from around Europe.

The Red Cross hopes to have the archive online by 2014, the centenary of the Great War.

'We want to archive these records because it will be far easier for families to access the information they require,' said a Red Cross spokesman.

' They hold an incredible amount of detail.'
