1914 TO THOSE WHO SERVED THEIR KING AND COUNTRY 1918

The Rushden Echo Friday 7 May 1920

Scouts' Roll of Honour - Mr F E Preston has designed and executed a very beautiful Roll of Honour in connection with the 1st Rushden Troop of Boy Scouts. The Roll which has been nicely framed, contains the names of the following scouts who during the war made the supreme sacrifice: Charles R Allen, William Baldrey, Frederick Bass, Frank Burgess, Cyril Cook, George Clark, Henry Cumberpatch, Frank Charles, Ernest Campion, Leonard James, Thomas Litchfield, Andre Nicol, Cyril Newell, Sidney Percival, Frank Smith, Leslie Silburn, Harry Wagstaff, Kenneth W Webb, John E Welch, Albert Wilmott, Harry Whiting, George Woodcroft, Dennis Knight, John Hooton. Underneath the names are the words "In memory of those who have fallen." Then follows the names of members and ex-members who "Served their King and Country 1914-1918." The spirit of the Scout movement is effectively symbolised by Mr Preston in the design.

Note: the Roll of Honour was dedicated in June 1920 when the 1st Rushden Scouts were presented with new colours.

Note: All we are able to find about Andre Nicol is his birth date 29th August 1899 and he left school in July 1914 - if you can help we'd be grateful to hear from you.
