Few people could afford to travel to visit the graves of their loved ones. In many cases, there was no grave to visit.

The bodies of half a million men were never found MAN ON A MISSION In 1914, horrified by the haphazard treatment of the war dead, Fabian Ware, a volunteer ambulance commander, began to record the identity and location of each grave, which led to the establishment of the Graves Registration Commission and in 1917 the Imperial (now Commonwealth) War Graves Commission

THE BEREAVED

The Stockwell community was without a permanent symbolic focus for grief because most of the bodies of loved ones lay hundreds of miles away BI TTE R SW E E T

The fighting ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. In London, after joyous, wild and drunken celebrations, the mood darkened.

Stockwell, along with the rest of the country, had undergone immense suffering – uncertainty, fear, deprivation and hunger – and the loss of hundreds of local men.

Life had been irrevocably altered

PERMANENT MEMORIAL Nearly two weeks before the ceasefire of 11 November 1918, local businessman J. A. Wheeler wrote to the South London Press to publicise the project to build a memorial SOUTH LONDON PRESS, 29 OCTOBER 1918

SPONTANEOUS REMEMBRANCE Wooden shrines listing the names of local men were often placed outside churches. The example on the left (now lost) was at St Mark’s Church, Kennington Oval, and was erected in 1916. There were temporary memorials at St Anne’s in South Lambeth Road and St Michael’s, Stockwell PHOTO COURTESY OF SOUTH LONDON PRESS, 6 FEBRUARY 1917

MIXED EMOTIONS In 1920 the Brixton, Stockwell and Clapham branch of the British Legion invited over 500 children of servicemen killed in the war to a ‘joy day’ at the Ivy Leaf Club Hall at 299 Brixton Road (since demolished and replaced by Leys Court).

UNPRECEDENTED It is estimated that there are over 100,000 war memorials in the UK, most of them relating to the First World War. There has never been, before or since, such a drive to create memorials to a conflict and those who died fighting it

A CENTRAL LOCATION The site chosen for the Memorial was Stockwell Triangle at the junction of Clapham Road and South Lambeth Road, the last vestige of Stockwell Common, which was described as a ‘derelict district eyesore’. The land was formally conveyed to Lambeth Borough Council in 1922 STOCKWELL WARD, PARISH MAP (1918), LAMBETH ARCHIVES

THE DESIGN In 1919 the Memorial Committee invited proposals for the design of the clock tower, with the final choice to be made by the Royal Academy War Memorials Committee

THE ARCHITECT Frank Twydale Dear (1882–1965) grew up at 210 Lambeth Road.

In the First World War he served as as an accounting clerk in the Navy, later transferring to the Air Force. By the time of the 1911 census Dear was working as an architect’s draughtsman at HM Office of Works. He designed only one other war memorial, at Golders Green, and later became chief architect for United Dairies, designing depots and housing for workers

THE WINNER By March 1920 eighty designs had been submitted, forty of them from qualified architects. The Royal Academy Committee decided that Frank Dear’s classic design for a 45ft (13.5m) Portland stone tower best satisfied the brief for a simple monument that would complement its surroundings

The War Memorial Committee initially estimated £2,000 (£100,000 today) was needed to complete the project. However, after the war, as Europe set about repairing damaged infrastructure, the price of building materials rocketed

FAMILY BUSINESS John Frederick Patrick (1869–1943), the son of a Battersea stonemason, lived at 41 Dalyell Road in Stockwell, and had a stonemasonry yard in Gaskell Street, off Union Road. When war was declared in 1914 orders dried up so, with a large family to support, Patrick took a job making shell casings. He returned to building as soon as business improved. One of his first jobs was to build the Stockwell tower

“

My father used to go to the yard and set out the stonework for the masons to work ready for the next day and, with a mate, he fixed every stone in the memorial...

When they were preparing the footings they came down on the concrete around the South London tube. In those days the trains used to come up from underground to an open space on the other side of Clapham Road...

The brickwork on the inside, backing up the stonework, is superb. It was carried out by an elderly retired bricklayer as a memorial to his sons who were killed in the war CHARLES PATRICK Son of John Patrick, 1994

THE SCULPTURE & THE CLOCK As the unveiling date neared, a cash crisis became apparent.

The total cost was more than twice the initial estimate and there was not enough money for the four-faced clock

TIME MEMORIAL Dr Frederick Foord Caiger, Superintendent of South Western Hospital in Landor Road, whose only child, 19-year-old Frederick, had been killed at the Somme in 1916, donated the clock as a tribute to him LEFT: SOUTH LONDON PRESS, 22 FEBRUARY 1922; ABOVE AND RIGHT: POSTCARDS FROM 1920S

THE SCULPTOR Chelseabased sculptor and war veteran Benjamin Clemens (1875–1957) created the figure of Remembrance, or the goddess Minerva, carrying a laurel wreath with a broken sword of war at her feet. Clemens’s work can be found on several First World War memorials, including at Cheadle Hulme in Cheshire, and Harrow, north London A CENTENARY EXHIBITION

THE UNVEILING 10

Wednesday 3 May 1922 in Stockwell was a day of grief and solemn drama.

Almost four years after a memorial was first proposed, the building was about to be formally dedicated

AN EMOTIONAL SERVICE While dignitaries and prominent local figures prepared themselves in the Palladium Cinema opposite the Memorial, musicians took their places in front of Stockwell Terrace. At 2.30pm the police band began to play, after which the choir of Spurgeon’s Stockwell Orphanage sang. A hush fell over the crowd, broken only by the occasional clanking of a passing tram. The ceremony began at 3pm, when the crowd sang the hymn O God Our Help in Ages Past, a lesson from the Bible was read and the Orphanage choir sang once more. After the unveiling, buglers of the East Surrey Regiment sounded the Last Post and the Reveille, the crowd sang the hymn For All the Saints, and the Bishop of Kingston formally dedicated the building

ANTICIPATION Hours before the unveiling was due to begin, people began to gather in the Stockwell Triangle for the service of dedication, filling pavements and front gardens and watching from the windows of surrounding houses. Union Jacks covered the four sides of the Memorial PHOTO © ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS LTD/MARY EVANS

THE MOMENT At 3.25pm, after the service, Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, released the flags and declared: ‘To the glorious and lasting memory of the men of Stockwell, who laid down their lives for King and Country.’ Captain Wallace M. Young, chairman of the Memorial Committee, stood to the right; John Patrick, the builder in charge of construction, was in the crowd to the left, hat in hand PHOTO COURTESY OF RICHARD PAUL KINGSTON

THE UNVEILING

A DAY TO REMEMBER The Brixton Free Press reported that ‘The weather was not quite so propitious as could have been desired, but happily during the actual ceremonial, rain, which fell in heavy showers before and after, held up, and the brief but impressive ceremony passed off without a hitch of any kind’ PHOTO COURTESY OF RICHARD PAUL KINGSTON

After the ceremony, the clock was started. At this point the downpour that had threatened all afternoon dispersed the crowd, who drifted away or deposited their floral tributes, and the dignitaries left to take tea at the York Restaurant in the Palladium Cinema

AMONG THE ONLOOKERS WERE MANY EX-SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN AND A LARGE NUMBER OF WOMEN IN MOURNING, CARRYING WREATHS OR LITTLE BUNCHES OF FLOWERS TO PLACE AT THE FOOT OF THE MEMORIAL IN HONOUR OF THEIR FALLEN SOUTH LONDON PRESS 5 May 1922

NAMES AND FACES The men came from a wide range of backgrounds. About half were skilled, with many of these in the printing trade, a major employer in Stockwell.

Most were volunteers and conscripts, but there were some professional soldiers.

Christians predominated but there was also a handful of Jews. None identified so far are known to be people of colour. Most of the photographs shown here have been provided by the families. Others are from newspapers, rolls of honour and yearbooks

The shelter, one of five following the route of the Northern Line, was constructed as two parallel tunnels 4.8m (16ft) wide and split horizontally into upper and lower levels. A plan to join the tunnels after the Second World War to create a high-speed train line was abandoned as too expensive

COURAGE OF HER CONVICTIONS The mural commemorates the life of Violette Szabo (1921–1945), who lived at 8 Burnley Road in Stockwell and was awarded the George Cross for bravery in the Second World War. A plaque to Szabo was unveiled by actress Virginia McKenna, who played her in the film Carve Her Name With Pride. There are also portraits of famous people with Stockwell links, including actor Roger Moore (1927–2017), who grew up in the area, and artist Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890), who lodged for six months in Hackford Road

The mural includes a depiction of the Empire Windrush, the ship which in 1948 brought returning service personnel and civilians from the Caribbean to Britain. Some of the passengers settled in Stockwell and Brixton

WAR PAINT The rotunda was first decorated in 1999 by artists Brian Barnes (1944–2021), left, and Myra Harris, who based the themes on suggestions from students at Stockwell Park School (now Platanos College) COURTESY OF LONDON MURAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY

BRONZE WOMAN The statue, created by Ian Walters and finished by Aleix Barbat, is inspired by a poem by Cécile Nobrega, who lived in Lambeth. The 10ft (3m) high sculpture of an Afro-Caribbean woman holding aloft a child was unveiled in 2008 for the 200th anniversary of the end of the transatlantic slave trade, and celebrates the contribution of the Afro-Caribbean community to London PHOTO: FOSWMG

WHY ARE WAR MEMORIALS IMPORTANT? Memorials are a focal point for remembrance for both individuals and communities, particularly on occasions such as Remembrance Sunday and anniversary events.

As communities change, they also offer an insight into the history of an area. Memorials that list names are unique historical touchstones, linking our past to our present

The Friends aim to keep the history of the War Memorial alive and to share it in the widest way. Every effort has been made to include accurate information in this exhibition – so please let us know if you know of any inaccuracies or wish to inform us of additional information. We welcome your memories and thoughts.

THESE WERE OUR SONS

Stories from Stockwell War Memorial NAOMI LOURIE KLEIN In 1922 the names of over 574 local men who perished in the First World War were carved into the panels of the Stockwell War Memorial. Who were they?

Their stories and their secrets, discovered through family letters, personal accounts and official records, are told here for the first time “The shock of reading of the sheer numbers lost, in our own neighbourhood, and the youth of so many of the fallen, makes me look at our war memorial with renewed humility and gratitude. This book deserves a place in every Stockwell home” jo ann a lu m le y

“... makes a memorial come alive – and records lives that deserve to be, as the hope remains, Not Forgotten” ian hislo p
