Second World War Roll of Honour Second World War roll of honour This document lists the names of former Scouts and Scout Leaders who were killed during the Second World War (1939 – 1945).

Wilfred Owen Base of the War Memorial in Buckland St Mary churchyard ‘From Buckland St Mary there went into HM’s forces about seventy men from a population of about 450. Of these sixteen joined voluntarily all the remainder, except those underage at the time attested under Lord Derby’s scheme …1 … On the outbreak of war several ladies of the village took a course of sick nursing and ambulance work and being thus qualified they did most useful work at the V.A.D.2 hospital at Ilminster. The women of the parish were organised by Mesdames Lance and Pott and met weekly for the purpose of making pillowcases and moss bags for splints, several hundred of which, were sent to a collection station.’ (The Western Gazette) 1 See page 7.

Let those who laid down their lives on our beaches or at sea, those whose frail vessels were sunk by the German air force on the road to hope, those who survive today, moving and proud veterans, inseparable from our collective memory, be honoured. This year I have some very special reasons to be pleased about these commemorations taking place, marked both by solemnity and by friendship between peoples.

  • Scammell, Walter
    Cadet* Walter Scammell (Regimental Number 2958) lies buried in Cambridge City Cemetery: Grave reference, C. 3631.. *Flying Officer Cadet His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a school-teacher earning four- hundred fifty dollars per annum, Walter Scammell was a volunteer of the Tenth Recruitment Draft. He presented himself for medical examination at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury* in St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland, on July 3 of 1916. It was a procedure which was to pronounce him as…Fit for Foreign Service. *The building was to serve as the Regimental Headquarters in Newfoundland for the duration of the conflict. (continued) 1 It was to be twelve days following that medical assessment, July 13, at the same venue, before Walter Scammell would enlist. He was thus engaged…for the duration of the war*…at the daily private soldier’s rate of a single dollar to which was to be appended a ten-cent per diem Field Allowance. *At the outset of the War, perhaps because it was felt by the authorities that it would be a conflict of short duration, the recruits enlisted for only a single year. As the War progressed, however, this was obviously going to cause problems and the men were encouraged to re-enlist. Later recruits – as of or about May of 1916 - signed on for the ‘Duration’ at the time of their original enlistment. Only several hours were now to follow before there subsequently came to pass, on this further occasion still at the CLB Armoury on Harvey Road, the final formality of his enlistment: attestation.

  • World War I Heritage Trail Walk in the Steps of Your Ancestors
    Visit Scotland’s Birthplace World War I Heritage Trail Walk in the steps of your ancestors www.visitangus.com Every parish in Angus has at least one memorial to the servicemen and women who fell during the Great War. Memorials were created by communities, schools and churches, amongst others. Some are on public view whilst others are behind closed doors. It took a few years for grieving and war weary communities to decide upon an appropriate memorial, raise funds and gather names for inclusion. Some towns ran design competitions for their memorials; others found it difficult to agree on the site for such an important venture. A number debated whether a memorial was appropriate and suggested a centre for ex- servicemen might be a better choice. Memorials were funded by public subscriptions, usually organised by a committee of administrative and social leaders of local society. They steered the project to completion, from collecting the names to appear on a memorial to the unveiling ceremony. In addition to the main war memorials, many communities such as schools and churches raised their own memorials and details of these can be found at www.visitangus.com/heritage- trails The VCs of Angus Three men from Angus were awarded the highest military decoration, the Victoria Cross. Charles Jarvis and George Samson were associated with Carnoustie and Charles Melvin lived for most of his life in Kirriemuir. All 3 VCs will be commemorated by special paving stones. The first was installed near the entrance to Carnoustie Championship Golf Course on 23 August 2014 in memory of Charles Jarvis.

Mr Keating’s immense capacity for the necessary research along with the Chairman’s endorsement and encouragement for the project was realised through the generosity of member Nicholas and Lynne Gould. The book was received in to the Club on the occasion of a commemorative service at St James’s Church, Piccadilly in September 2014 to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Second World War members were researched and added in 2016 along with the appendices, which highlights some of the episodes and influences that involved our members in both conflicts. In October 2016, along with over 190 other organisations representing clubs, livery companies and the military, the club contributed a flagstone of our crest to the gardens of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. First published in 2014 by the East India Club.
