The London War MemorialThe London War Memorial

Although some 100,000 service men and women from London lost their lives in the First World War, there is no single physical memorial commemorating these people. Equally, many of the "local" War Memorials don't exist (they may have been lost in the bombing during the Second World War) or are in churches which are now kept locked when not in use.

Many of the local War Memorials are in the form of monuments / cenotaphs which have no names commemorated on them.

The London War Memorial website is on-line commemoration of those who lost their lives in the First World War, and where relevant local memorials are known these are shown.

Over 300 soldiers who served in the Yorkshire Regiment are commemorated on this memorial, and their names are below.

"A solicitor before the war, Robert Abrahams worked for Roberts, Abrahams and Co in London.
He joined the London University Officer Training Corps in July of 1915 and was commissioned with the 4th Battalion in September 1915.
Robert Abrahams lost his life during the Battle of the Somme in the summer of 1916.
In late August and early September the 4th Battalion were involved in training exercises in the Millencourt area. On September 10th they were called into brigade support at Shelter Wood and on the evening of September 14th the battalion moved up into their assembly positions in Eye and Swansea trenches for an attack the following day.
They had to move up over open ground as the communication trenches were so crowded. The Germans opened fire on the battalion and caused some forty casualties.
2nd Lt Robert Bernard Abrahams was killed in this action on September 14th 1916 aged 24."

"An older soldier Charles Crapper was a sergeant with the Royal Army Medical Corps before being commissioned and joining the 3rd battalion in the UK doing coastal defence work around the Middlesbrough and Hartlepool areas, and training drafts for the front line battalions.
As manpower shortages began to bite later in the war 2nd Lt Crapper was sent to France to join the 5th battalion. During the ten days of almost continuous fighting in March 1918 during the enemy spring offensive Charles Crapper was wounded in action and sent back to England on a hospital ship.
He died of his wounds at home on April 26th 1918 at age of 31.
2nd Lt Charles Crapper MM was the husband of Mrs L Crapper of 8 Cavendish Road, St Johns Wood in London."
Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>) adds;-
"The 1911 Census says he was the son of Joseph & Emma Crapper and was born in 1889 in Bradfield. His wife's forename was Mabel (as inscribed on his grave marker and not "L" as suggested in the biography which is probably based on the [incorrect] CWGC record). The biography might be slightly misleading as, according to his Medal Card (if that can be relied upon), he went to France with the RAMC on 27/8/1915 & won the MM whilst serving with the Corps. He was commissioned into the Yorkshires on 18/7/1917, just around the time he got married."

It seems possible, therefore, that Private Jones was in the original draft of men who took part in the 1st Battle of Ypres, and was wounded at some point, - dying of his wounds.)

"This bald statement of his distinguished services would show that in him the Army has lost a valuable and experienced soldier, but it in no way conveys the sense of a personal bereavement which is felt by those of all ranks who had the privilege of serving with him. The cheeriest, kindliest and most generous of friends, he was beloved both by his brother officers and by the men who served under him, taking a keen interest in all sports, he encouraged and shared in all their amusements. How many a dull hour did he brighten for his comrades. How many a dreary station became the happier and livelier for his presence! No kinder or more genial host could be found; his hospitality was proverbial, and he was never happier than when entertaining his friends. Of the thrilling story of those last few eventful days before his death, we at present know but little, but we do know that it is a story of brave deeds and cheerful devotion to duty, a story that will live long in the annals of our Army, telling of a heroic struggle against well-nigh overwhelming odds. In this struggle he played a splendid part" (G.H.G.).

"H S Roy Montesole. B.Sc (London) A M I C E
Lieutenant 2nd Royal Sussex Regiment
Born at 270 Wightman Road, Hornsey. Educated at the Stationers’ and London County Secondary Schools. Entered London University (King’s College Engineering Section) and graduated B.Sc in June 1914. Joined the London University AT C (in which he rose to be a Sergeant) in 1911 and was gazetted to the Special Reserve of the Royal Sussex Regiment in July 1914.
Took out a draft of the 2nd Yorkshire Battalion from West Hartlepool to France on October 12 1914 (* Not correct, - the date was after October 1914) and served with distinction in that battalion in the trenches between Armentieres and Festubert during the terrible winter of 1914-1915.
Took part in the Battle of Neuve Chapelle (being one of the officers who survived that action), the Battle of Fromelles, May 9 1915, and fell on the second day of the Battle of Festubert, being at the moment of his death the only combatant surviving officer of those who had served throughout the winter.
“One of the best subalterns in the Regiment” wrote Major Stansfeld, on whom devolved command of the battalion, “Always cheerful, perfectly cool, daring and resourceful.”
On the battlefield of Neuve Chapelle, on Feb 13 1915, he met his two brothers Eric and Alan (See Note 4) whom he had not seen since July 1914. They were then serving in the 7th Middlesex Regt. Eric, who later became 2nd Lieutenant and Machine Gun Officer in the 7th Royal Sussex Regt was killed at the Hohenzollern Redoubt on March 3 1916. Alan is now a subaltern in the Machine Gun Corps. His eldest brother – Herschel – is a Captain in the R A M C attached to the 2nd Royal Fusiliers which has just suffered so terribly at the Battle of the Somme.
Another brother, Max, is serving in the Canadian Army. "
