The MiddlesbroughRoll of Honour of the Great War

Names “C”

Compiled by Robert Coulson (1952 – 2008)

In the years 1914-1918 thousands of Middlesbrough men and women served theircountry in a time of hardship, stress and suffering both for the troops on thebattlefronts and those left at home.After the Armistice in November of 1918 handsome memorial tablets and plaquesrecalling the fallen were erected in the works, shops and churches of theMiddlesbrough area.At this time a committee was formed to consider the question of a war memorialfor the town as a whole to remember the citizens who had laid down their lives.In the words of the committee,

“We recognise the splendid sacrifice made by our men and we desire that ourchildren and our children’s’ children should hear the story and share in theinspiration which such sacrifice will always give”.

The response of the townspeople resulted in the fine cenotaph of Aberdeengranite and the wall of Portland stone containing the bronze panels with thenames of the fallen that we see today at the entrance to Albert Park.The memorial works were completed at a cost of approximately £17,000 and thepeople of the town attended in their thousands for the dedication and unveilingceremony which took place on November 11th 1922.

This roll of honour contains close to 3500 names of the fallen who are rememberedon the memorial and also those whose names were put forward by their familiesafter the unveiling ceremony.

I felt it fitting that as the centenary of the onset of the Great War approaches Ishould try and add a little information on those remembered and the actions inwhich they laid down their lives.

I would just add that much as I regret it, details on some of theses brave people isnot available due to the passage of time but their names will still appear in the textas they do on the memorial panels.

Finally just a few points to consider,

It will be noticed that on some of the entries no Middlesbrough connection may beobvious, indeed the person appears to have come from well outside the area oreven the country.It must be remembered that it was the townspeople who put the names forwardfor inclusion and as an example a relation who stayed with the family in the townoccasionally, could well appear after his family took the trouble to forward thename.

Middlesbrough was a thriving centre of industry at the time and a person may wellhave been employed in the town before hostilities and had their name included byworkmates.

Serving under an alias is also quite common and although sometimes used to covercriminal activity, was normally just a person keen to serve but underage and usinganother identity.Also a mother who had taken another man’s name might have offspring whopreferred to serve using their natural father’s name.

Double entries for the same name also appear quite a few times, for example,Samuel Alder and S Alder.I believe they are one and the same person named twice as a result of a largefamily with different branches putting the name forward twice.

The person will appear in the listing as named on the memorial with any variationsin spelling and second names being included in the text.

It will be noticed that some entries begin “I believe this to be”.These are people who to the best of my judgement are those named but can notbe 100% certain. They are included with the best intentions and if a mistake ismade I make my apologies in advance.

Robert Henry Coulson died on 8 November 2008. His papers weredonated to the Green Howards Museum in Richmond, and the workbelow comes from these papers.
