Beeston Roll of Honour - The Great War   

Every person with Beeston connections who is known to have lost his life while serving in The Great War - now known as World War 1 - is included here and are listed on a memorial in Beeston Parish Church. For a small number of those on the memorial, it has not been possible to identify their connection with Beeston but they are included here with the expectation that it will eventually be found. The names of those who died are shown in order of the date of their death. A few, for whom the date of death has not yet been identified, are included at the end.

"We lent him to this country, expecting he'd return .." - this was the moving response¹ in family homes throughout Beeston, as elsewhere, as the toll mounted and decimated a generation of young men. As the table below shows, this poignant expression was no doubt repeated at least 273 times in Beeston alone as the awful tragedy of the war continued relentlessly. After an initial wave of enthusiasm and a rush of volunteers to join the Colours, the reality of war became apparent as the casualties began to mount. There were times when the news became particularly overwhelming - the Dardennelles campaign of 1915, the terrible slaughter on and following the Somme offensive on July 1st 1916, the horrors of Passchendale in July to November 1917 and the Somme battles of 1918, The slaughter of these terrible events clearly shows in the Beeston casualties - 10% of all its losses were in July and August 1916 alone. Most homes suffered a loss or knew someone close who did and it should be remembered that, although this tribute is specifically to those who paid the Supreme Sacrifice, it is clear that the awful devastation and loss was to effect everyone - those who served and those at home - and things would never again be the same.

Amongst those quick to join the Colours, soon after war was declared on 4th August 1914, was a detachment of 27 members of the Beeston Boys Brigade Old Boys which marched to the Nottingham Recruitment Centre to enlist. More were to follow and 42 were to make the Supreme Sacrifice and others were badly wounded.

¹These poignant words were used by the family of William Shrewsbury Sharpe in an In Remembrance piece published in the Beeston Gazette & Echo after the war. It is a sentiment that must have been felt by many families in Beeston and elsewhere who had lost loved ones.
