The War Memorial Tablet was unveiled and dedicated by the Rev. C. J. N. Child, M.A., former Headmaster of the School, on May 1st, 1924.

It was situated at the end of the School Hall and consisted of three central panels and two larger side panels, surmounted by the School Crest and Motto, with the dates "1914" and "1919." The whole was in an oak frame. There were eighty-nine names inscribed on the panels. The inscription above the names on the centre panels was: "These died for Britain," and below the names: "Their spirit endureth for ever." The architect was Mr. I. Buckerfield.

The following is a short synopsis of the service: Hymn, "O Valiant Hearts"; three prayers, the first being the "Pater Noster"; then the lesson from Wisdom ii, 23 and iii, 5; then followed the prayer, "Remember O Lord," and unveiling and dedication of the Memorial. After the Nunc Dimitis came the address and the hymn "For all the saints." Except during the lesson, the assembly remained standing throughout the service.

The County High School for Boys is now Hills Road 6th Form College and the memorial is in a corridor of the main building.

Extract from Cambridge Daily News - Thursday 16 May 1918:

BURWELL

SERGT. CHARLES BROWN.—Mrs. Brown, of Burwell, widow of Mr. John Brown, for many years Inspector to the Newmarket Urban Council has received official information of the death in action of her youngest son, Sergt. Charles Brown, of the Bantam Battalion of the Suffolks. Sergt. Brown was 24 years of age last August. He was for 18 months in the office of the Ocean Company in Cambridge, when joined Barclay’s Bank and served with the utmost satisfaction at their Oundle, Leicester, and Uppingham branches of that bank. When the war broke out volunteered, but was rejected being under the standard height. When he learned that his friend, the late Lieut. Tom Blackwell, had joined the Bantam Battalion of the Suflolks, he immediately applied and was accepted. They came home on leave together, both sergeants. Tom Blackwell went to France, but Brown was given home billets, until he told the authorities that he was tired of “cushy” jobs, and wanted real soldiering. So he was sent out to France. He was in the big German attack March 21st of this year, and wrote home: “It will a huge relief to you to know that I have escaped without scratch.” He was in the midst of the German attack April 8th, and in this he was shot through the head and killed instantly. At any rate, such is the information furnished by the O.C. of his company, but in the carnage and confusion there may be an error of identification. Mrs. Brown has had letters of condolence from the directors and officials of Barclay’s Bank; from Mr. Praed, who has charge of the Leicester and Uppingham Banks; and from the Rev. C. J. N. Child (Headmaster the Cambridge County School), all speaking in high terms of praise of her son.

CAMBS. ROLL OF HONOUR.

A POST OFFICE CASUALTY.

Mr and Mrs. Cowling, of 68, Panton-street, Cambridge, have received official information that their son, Signalling-Instructor Cyril Frank Cowling, Civil Service Rifles (London Regt.) was killed in action on September 15th The first intimation was received from three of his friends of the same section, one of them, Rifleman Cyril Barsham, being with him when he died. They were in a newly-captured German trench, and were sending messages to the rear, when Instructor Cowling was hit by shrapnel in the neck, which severed the artery and caused his death. Instructor C. F. Cowling, before joining up, was on the staff of the P.O. Engineering Office, Hills-road. He was a fine young man, with a promising career before him, and, as evidenced by the many letters of sympathy that have been received by his parents from all parts, was loved and respected by all who knew him. At the outbreak of the war he asked to be released from his duties in order to join the Army, but that being already a Civil Servant, it was not until June, 1915, that permission was given. He and others of his colleagues then enlisted straight away. They had been preparing themselves to serve as signallers, and composed themselves a Signalling Section of Cambridge men in the London Rifles. It was while at Chelsea Barracks in special training that Rifleman Cowling qualified as a signalling-instructor. His regiment was stationed at Winchester, and on his return he discovered his friends had been drafted out in France and he at once asked that his name might be added to the next draft to be sent out, sacrificing his position as lance-corporal and other provisions in order to be with his friends. They soon met again, and he became instructor as before. lnstructor Cowling was a native of Sawston, and was educated first at the Council school, afterwards at the County School, Cambridge. He prepared for the Civil Service, and in due time entered it, serving respectively London, Birmingham and Cambridge. Mr. and Mrs. Cowling have received many letters from the deceased’s friend, expressing their sympathy and paying high tributes to his good qualities. Rifleman Barsham wrote: “I have lost in Cyril the best pal a fellow could have, and miss him more than I should like to say. He was a splendid fellow, and the most popular in the Section. All the fellows wish me to tell you so. He died a hero’s death, also a Christian.” Rifleman Rayner, who has since died of wounds wrote: "He was like a brother to me, as you know, and if it is God’s will that I should some day go as well, I pray that it may be as bravely and calmly as your dear son." Rifleman H. Rice (once seriously wounded) said in a letter: “We with whom he had been associated so long greatly feel the loss, and on behalf of his many friends I extend to you both our very deep sympathy." Sapper R. P. Patterson says I can truly say that Cyril was the best pal that I have ever had, or ever hope to have.” Chaplain J. F. Alfred Baker states; "His chums speak most highly and affectionately of his straight, manly, and lovable disposition."

From Andy Pay's research into the Marquis de Ruvigny' s Roll of Honour the following:

Page 95, part 5, volume 2, Sapper Cyril Victor Jiggle, number 528528, 17th Divisional signalCompany, Royal Engineers. Only son of Thomas Chessham Jiggle of Ramleh house, Gamlingay, by his wife Georgina 3rd daughter of Daniel Reen of Wimbledon. Born Gamlingay, county Cambridge 25th March 1897,educated county school at Cambridge. Telegraphist and sorter.

Joined the Royal Engineers 14-2-16, served with the Indian expeditionary force in Mesopotamia and died at Samarra on the Tigris 31-5-18 of burns accidentally received whilst on duty the previous day. Buried in Samarra British Cemetery.

His Major wrote, he was badly burned in a fire in the signal office on the evening of 30th May. Your son came out with a draft I brought from England and, indeed he was acting as my personal attendant till we arrived in India. I think I can say we looked on each other as friends and he was unusually popular.

Some comrades also wrote, when we say we lost a chum, we mean a friendship has been broken which was built up more strongly as the days passed. As time went by, we knew he had a heart of gold and was a lad worthy of confidence, may it bring some comfort to you to know that Cyril had earned the good fellowship of all ranks, from the major downwards, for his good work, and his ever willingness to do a pal a turn was a byword among us.

Extract from Cambridge Independent Press - Friday 06 September 1918, page 6:

R.A.F. OFFICER’S DEATH.
Lieut. E. M. Porter Drowned While Scouting in Ægean Sea.

We deeply regret to record the fact that Lieut. E. Marsden Porter, R.A.F., eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Everard L. Porter, of the Manor, Haddenham, was drowned while scouting in the Ægean Sea. The young officer, who was in his 25th year, was educated at Soham Grammar School and Cambridge County School, and being of an engineering turn of mind, devoted his studies in that direction until the outbreak of the war, when he joined the Huntingdon Cyclist Corps in September 1914. In the following December he transferred into the Royal Naval Armoured Car Section, with which he was drafted for active service in the East in August, 1915, and was at Gallipoli onwards until the evacuation. Afterwards he went to Egypt, and on returning to England and the disbandment of the Armoured Car Section, he obtained a commission in the Royal Naval Air Service, and obtained his pilot’s certificate in September, 1916. In November 1917 he was drafted again to the East Mediterranean and attached to one of H.M. ships, upon which he was dispatched thither only a fortnight before he met with the unfortunate accident which resulted in the loss of a young life full of promise for the future, as is evidenced in the following extracts from a letter dated August 8th, received from Commanding Officer confirming the sad news of his death:-

“I regret exceedingly having to cause you further anguish, but I feel that you and your son’s relatives and friends must be anxiously awaiting details of the circumstances attending on the occurrence which unfortunately ended a life abounding in promise of fame and honour in the service of his King and country.

"Lieut. Porter had only joined this station from Base Headquarters a fortnight ago, but in few days had made himself beloved by every one of his messmates by his never-failing optimism and cheerfulness. He was engaged in scout duty in connection with suppression of the submarine menace and was flying a of seaplane on which he was singularly skilful. On the morning of the 6th he left at dawn in the most peaceful, calm weather; in fact, such conditions as to necessitate extra caution in landing, as the water, being mirror-like, is most deceiving, and most difficult to locate the surface. On returning to make the landing his machine was seen to fly at maximum speed straight into the water, and eye-witnesses say there was doubt at all that the pilot was confident that he was still a fair height from the water. The machine was completely wrecked, and sank instantly. When the wreck was brought ashore the pilot was found entangled among wires and other fabric, and resuscitation was begun at nonce. After 35 minutes work, Dr. Loutitt, R.N.V.R., declared life extinct.

"The obsequies were held the same day, he being accorded an Air Force funeral, with full honours. There was a large attendance of military and naval officers, as well as diplomatic representatives of England, France, Italy, and Russia. The local garrison kindly loaned their hand and a large escort. There were several lovely wreaths."
