The WWI Index

Berkhamsted School lost 233 students during World War I, whose names now appear on the memorial outside the school chapel.

The Online Index contains a record for each Berkhamstedian, detailing the rank and regiment of the individual as well as information on their life at school and place of burial (if known).

The average age of death was just 22, the youngest only 12, torpedoed by the German submarine U20. Pupils from all three forces fought for Britain, France, Canada, South Africa and Austrailia.
