de Ruvigny's very useful for Charterhouse references!

[chrissparrow]

Bom T,

Don't know where this is going, but can give you interesting extras on Carew Barnett and Byatt if you wish. Let me know!

Chris

[mark.topham]

Been out of circulation for few days and have just caught up with my post.

First big thanks to all of your replies.

I have limited resources available and do not have access to de Ruvigney's so thanks there.

it is a personal project I am undertaking relating to Public Schools and Officer casualties/fatalities and I was unable to find anything on these individuals.

As I have been working on 12 schools locating those who died during the Great war period for whatever reason i.e. direct enemy action or natural causes time has often been my enemy and this had helped me tie up some lose ends

Would indeed be interested in any further information on Carew Barnett and Byatt as I do not want my research to be a dry statistical essay

Much appreciated.

Mark

[mark.topham]

Presumably you have already referred to this http://www.roll-of-h...ouseSchool.html ? (and the separate WW2 Listing)

Hi Kevin have you been doing work on the Roll of Honour?

I have worked on this Roll of Honour and apart from those mentioned have information on the remainder of the Roll if you are interested. I will compare your 'B' List with mine.

Thanks

Mark

[chrissparrow]

Mark,

Both Byatt and Barnett were at Summer Fields before Chouse. I have written about them when researching SF where I teach and have often visited their graves with boys from the school. I will post more details shortly.

Chris

[KevinBattle]

Firstly, it was Dick Flory who answered your specific Names request.

I've simply used the already existant Charterhouse Roll of Honour(s) as shown in the links.

Have you already used them yourself?

I do a lot of work on various Rolls of Honour and enjoy the challenge of finding those who have either been omitted (for whatever reason) or who are no longer known of locally.

I don't want to spoil your own project, please carry on, and when you get stuck the Pals here can usually crack it!

Don't forget, in addition to the CWGC database, there is the Soldiers Died in the Great War, Service and Pension records, Medal Index Cards and Google that can help flesh out the bare Names and initials so often found. Local newspaper archives are also useful, if time consuming.

I'd also think that Charterhouse School would welcome you working on their behalf and allow access, if you ask them nicely! It might even be worth considering a Heritage Lottery application if you can put a feasible joint proposition together, as no doubt they will have plans for visits, not necessarily limited to 2014, but each succeeding year, with say, one particular Year each year....

Let us know how things go! Good luck!

Mark,

Captain Harry Vivian Byatt (476) was born on December 16th 1882 the first son of Henry Robinson of Bedford. For some reason he took the surname Byatt in 1899, but even then he was not sure who he was – at Cambridge he is listed in various publications as ‘Byatt’, ‘Byatt-Byatt’, and ‘Byatt Byatt.’

He came to Summer Fields in 1891 and gained a scholarship to Charterhouse in 1896. There he was a junior and senior scholar and exhibitioner, and then went on to Clare College, Cambridge in 1901, again with a scholarship. There he rowed in the VIII and became Captain of Boats. He graduated with a BA in 1904. Byatt became a hospital doctor in London and in 1909 married Katharine Mary Dible. When the war started he joined the Royal Army Medical Corps, and was attached to the 2nd Battalion

Rifle Brigade. He was to die of wounds, aged 32, on March 3rd 1915. Byatt is buried with two other Old Summerfieldians in Estaires Cemetery. In a unique gesture his family requested that all his former associations be credited on his tombstone. Thus Summer Fields was honourably listed as his first schooling. His younger brother, Richard, was similar in many ways – he too was a scholar, went up to Clare and becoming a doctor. He, however, went to Radley and served with the Artillery in the war, which he survived.

Major Carew Barnett (166) was born on 13th November 1866, the son of Edward

Barnett, of Kenton Court, Sunbury-on- Thames. This was some 46 years before the start of the First World War. He came to Summerfield in 1877 and went on to Charterhouse in the Cricket Quarter

(Summer Term) of 1881. He was commissioned into the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry but quickly transferred to the Madras LI and Burma LI, in which he served in the Burma War 1891-3 (awarded Burma Medal) and in the China Expedition of 1900 (China Medal). He retired from the Army in 1909 at the age of 42. Five years later he reenlisted with the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry and was reinstated at the rank of Major, with the 6th Battalion. He was killed in action on August 12th 1915 and is buried in Ypres Reservoir Cemetery, amongst men from his battalion who he was trying to rescue. One of the officers of the DCLI had discovered that the cloisters of St. Martin’s Cathedral, in the centre of Ypres, were still in good condition and ordered the men to rest there. The Battalion War Diary continues;

Enemy commences to shell cloisters and Place at 6.15 am. The men in the cloister thinking they were safe did not move. Enemy guns or gun fire every quarter of an hour and after a few shots got the exact range of the cloisters. The first direct hit brought down most of the W. end of cloister ceiling and buried several men. The enemy continued to fire for five hours, putting in 17 inch shells at first every quarter and later every half hour, with smaller shells and shrapnel in between. Many of the men who went to rescue their comrades were themselves buried. The warning was first conveyed to Bn HQ whereupon Major Barnett and the adjutant Lt R.C. Blagrove ran over to the cloisters to endeavour to get the men out. Both were instantly killed by the explosion of a very large shell which apparently fell in the open square just north of the cloisters. Barnet, at 48, was the oldest Old Summerfieldian to die in action during the war. He left a wife, Elsie Kathleen Barnett.

Nicely done, Chris...

The de Ruvigny's entry (placed by the Byatt family) reads:

BYATT, HARRY VIVIAN BYATT. Capt, RAMC. eldest s of Harry Byatt, author, late of 36, Warwick Gardens, Kensington. Born Kensington 16 Dec 1882;educ Summer Fields, Summer Town, Oxford 1891; obtained an entrance scholarship at Charterhouse School, Godalming 1896 and left there with the Charterhouse Science Exhibition 1901; entering Clare College, Cambridge with a Science Scholarship the same year. He left Cambridge with a second class in the Natural Science Tripos and proceeded to the London Hospital, qualifying MRCS, LRCP 1907. He was gazetted Lieut. RAMC the same year and appointed to Netley Hospital. From there he proceeded to Poona in 1909 and promoted Captain 29 January 1911 and after 3 years service in India joined the Expeditionary Force in France in Oct, being attached to 2nd Battalion Rifle Brigade. He attended to the trenches between Laventie and Estaires, and died 11 March 1915 from wounds received at Neuve Chapelle while dressing the wound in the head of Machine Gun Sergeant Marriage. He was buried at Estaires. His Commanding Officer wrote: "Your son was hit while attending to a wounded man and I never saw him again. He was taken to the 25th Field Ambulance at Estaires and died there. He was shot by a rifle bullet in the chest." While at Clare College he was first secretary then captain of the Clare Rowing Club, and under his leadership Clare rowing improved so greatly that the well known footer college was placed in the first division on the river for the first time in many years.

No mention of his marriage. In 1901 Census he was in the Charterhouse sanatorium, along with about 40 other boys.

Probate: Byatt, Harry Vivian Byatt of 36 Warwick Gardens, Kensington, Middlesex. Captain RAMC died 10 March 1915 in France on active service. Administration London 6 April to Harriett Emma Isabella Holt, widow. Effects £68 15s 4d.

There is this:

His fathers details and a "critique" of his work:

(1855?-1934) UK playwright and author, born Harry Byatt Robinson, which he shortened by deed poll to Harry Byatt in 1900; little is known of him beyond his published works, which include meretricious dramas set to music like "The Golden Age or Pierrot's Sacrifice: an Original Idyllic Musical Play" (1898), which sentimentally transposes Pierrot into the Golden Age of a much earlier tradition, or "The Testament of Judas" (1908), a fantasy about Judas Iscariot. "Purple and White: A Romance" (1905) is set 60 years after the end of the "Great War", which had ravaged Europe during the teens of the twentieth century, leaving Germany and Russia dominant; Heinrich, a Christ-like descendant of the German Kaisers, rules the world, which has become a Utopia, though plotters lurk. "The Flight of Icarus" (1907) rewrites this material into a Near Future tale in which the world comes to be ruled by an apostate Jew with supernatural powers named Michael the Cohen, false warden of the Word of God. "The Real Man" (1909) farcically repeats much of this material in a Satire on anarchists whose leader, an impostor, almost takes over Britain.

[Quite how a work dated to 1905 deals with the "Great War" during the teens of the twentieth century...?]

I didn't find an entry in de Ruvigny's for Carew Barnett.

[chrissparrow]

Likewise Kevin! Good work and thanks.

Chris

[mark.topham]

Thanks for the correction Kevin and my thanks goes out to Dick.

Last time I visited the web was almost a year ago when I took the information I needed.

Thanks to Chris for the additional information. I am trying my hardest to put the flesh back on the bones of these fine young men and welcome any information which will help me achieve this.

It has been a long project and I work in my spare time so far I have identified 6.304 individuals from Twelve schools and am working on another two. So you can see any additional help is most welcome

Again thanks

Mark

[KevinBattle]

I don't know how you both feel about it, but you both seem to have similar interests/projects, so why don't you two discuss via PM's to see if you can help each other and avoid duplication etc?

As already suggested, surely the Schools themselves would be interested in participating and even joining forces, perhaps for Lottery aided trips to the battlefields, not just in 2014 but each year...?

Worth a discussion?

[MBrockway]

Do you have any connection with Charterhouse School?

Is this an "authorised" project or just a personal one?

Bom T gives a bit of an overview of his PhD project in this post, this post and several subsequent posts in the mammoth The Great War and the Public Schools topic.

It sounds a fascinating bit of research with some unusual angles on the underlying reasons for the elevated officer casualties.from the public schools.

In response to your query on the post for Clark, Aubrey Muriel (Matthew)

Clark Family Records

There is a history of the Clark family (Some Account of the Clark Family) published in the 1920's. A copy is in the British Library.

According to this history there were 2 sons of Aubrey Matthew Clark educated at Charterhouse:

Aubrey Muriel Clark

Born: 19 November 1895 at Nagpur

Educated at Charterhouse School

Joined 2/7^th Gurkhas April 1915. Prisoner at Kut-Al-Amara on 28 April 1916.

Alick Morton Clark

Born: 1 July 1898

Educated at Charterhouse and Sandhurst

Gazetted to Border Regiment. Killed in Action 27 February 1917

Other Records

The 1948 Probate records state that Aubrey Muriel Clark died in 1947 (in County Wicklow).

There is a personal note on Alick Morton Clark in The Times of February 8^th 1917.

I hope this helps resolve the apparent anomaly.

[mark.topham]

Aubrey Muriel/Matthew Clark is still an enigma.

I have found a reference to Aubrey Matthew Clark in the London Gazette 7th May 1915 which states he was; "...admitted to the Infantry Branch of the Indian Army Reserve of Officers from the 5th February 1915." I also have a reference to the same(?) person London Gazette 5th December 1941

AUBREY MATTHEW CLARK, Deceased.

Pursuant to the Trustee Act, 1925.

NOTICE is hereby given that all persons having

any claim against the estate of Aubrey Matthew

Clark late of 43 St. James Square, Bath who died

Still no further on

Thanks for all the replies and help so far

I think you are looking at their father Aubrey Matthew Clark - who had the two sons (Aubrey Muriel and Alick Morton). (The spelling of Alec is not consistent).

According to the Clark Family history in the British Library:

Aubrey Matthew Clark

Born: 30 June 1869

Married: On 17 January 1894, at Nagpur, Alice Maude Blanche Higgins (born 6 March 1873) daughter of John James Hall Higgins.

Educated: Eton. Went to India, becoming traffic manager of Bengal Nagpur Railway. Was appointed a member of the Indian Government Railway Board from which he retired in 1923.

Other Records

Aubrey Matthew Clark died on 16 January 1941 according to the probate record.

In the 1901 census, the parents (Aubrey and Muriel) were living with the 2 sons (Aubrey and Alec) at 40, Carlyle Square, London.

Notes from Indian Railway Gazette of 1911

Aubrey Matthew Clark

Born on 30^th June 1869. Educated at Eton from 1883 – 1887. Two months after leaving school, on 30^th September, he joined the Bengal Nagpur Railway. Mr Clark was one of the three Traffic Probationers first appointed after the transfer of the Nagpur – Chhatigarth State Railways to the BNR which was the starting point of the present large railway. After passing through various stages, Mr Clark was appointed District Traffic Superintendent in February 1891. From March to September 1897, Mr Clark officiated as Traffic Manager and again from October 1901 to the end of 1903. On 1^st January 1904, he was appointed Traffic Manager of the line which post he now holds. On two occasions, one in 1904 and again in 1905, Mr Clark acted as agent of the railway during the absence of its permanent incumbent.

Hope this helps. The reuse of family names can be confusing.

Quite possibly.

Would the London Gazette be Aubrey Muiriel as it refers to Indian Army infantry branch which the Gurkhas most certainly were? However, the reference is to an Aubrey Matthew Clark?

I think the best thing is to accept which ever one it is they were not killed during the war and the inclusion of their name in the roll of honour list I have is a mistake

Mark

[PHoath]

I think the confusion is that the father and both his sons all had the same initials: A M Clark.

You are correct in that Aubrey Matthew Clark was not killed in WW1. He was the father - he survived until 1941.

Aubrey Muriel Clark (Aubrey Matthew Clark's elder son) served in the Indian Army in WW1 and died in 1947.

Alick Morton Clark (Aubrey Matthew Clark's younger son) served as 2nd Lieutenant Border Regiment and died in 1917. An A M Clark, 2nd Lieutenant, Border Regiment, is recorded as buried in GUARDS' CEMETERY, LESBOEUFS - date of death 28/1/1917. The Times of February 8th has a notice of his death and refers to his father as working on the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. This day's paper also has a 'personal note' under the list of Fallen Officers that notes that Alick Morton Clark was at Charterhouse.

Therefore, if the Charterhouse memorial lists an a A M Clark, it actually lists the younger son. If it lists Aubrey Muriel Clark as among the casualties then it is in error.

[mark.topham]

Thanks for the information. So the A. M. Clark I have listed must be Alick Morton Clark. Nice one

However I still appear to be short in Peter Parker's 'The Old Lie' he quotes Charterhouse as having 680 died during the war, but I have only be able to identify 613 individuals and this includes those names I originally posted; which, I have been so generously helped with.

I recently discovered that Bury Grammar School old boy Geoffrey Clarkson Kay, Lancashire Fusiliers, who served at Gallipoli and was killed in the 1918 German Spring Offensive also went to Charterhouse. There is a memorial to him in Bury Parish Church.

I recently discovered that Bury Grammar School old boy Geoffrey Clarkson Kay, Lancashire Fusiliers, who served at Gallipoli and was killed in the 1918 German Spring Offensive also went to Charterhouse. There is a memorial to him in Bury Parish Church.

I have a C. C Kay attended Charterhouse 1901- 1907. Commissioned into Lancashire Fusiliers serving with 1st/5th Bn but attached to 2nd Bn MGC. Listed as killed in action 29.3.1918 aged 30. Buried Bailleul Road East Cemetary garve II. H. 18.

This is an example of one of the discrepancies I have in my research Geoffrey is listed in both the Charterhouse and Bury Grammer School Rolls of Honour. I have come across a number of similar cases of individuals attending one school for a term or a number of years and then going to another school.

This does create some duplication in numbers if researching Public School casualties, but having said that in the 6,000 or so I have researched the number who moved schools and are listed on two Rolls of Honour still number only in the tens and not hundreds.

Mark

[Mark Hone]

It is the same man. I know of six old boys out of 97 who died who also attended other schools: G C Kay (Charterhouse), Captain Frank Bentley MC ( Rossall), Lt Thomas Floyd (Manchester Grammar), Lt William Sleigh (King William's Isle of Man) and the two Bradley brothers (Liverpool College).
