Distinguished Old Framlinghamians
Framlingham is rooted in the county of Suffolk, but Framlinghamians have spanned the world from the age of Empire, through times of conflict and into the modern era, in pursuit of trade and adventure. There are those who have made their mark in business, sports, academics, as artists and writers, in agriculture, in the services, the media and in the world of entertainment. You can learn about them here, and you can nominate additions.

According to the 1968 Register there is another name that should be added to the Memorial – Gordon Harmer Catchpole (1903-07) . He was born on 12 August 1893 and served in the Canadian Field Artillery. The Register simply says that he was “Killed 1917”, but the CWGC website clearly has him listed as being killed on 11 May 1917. He is buried near Arras. His great nephew visited the College chapel and his grave in July 2017.

In the 1968 register, No 3349 is for Thomas Marshall DALE (04-07) . According to the Register he served in 1st Dorsetshire Yeomanry and was killed in action in the Holy Land on 23 August 1918 and is buried in Ramleh War Cemetery in Israel. Although he is not mentioned on the War Memorial in the Chapel, the Framlingham Town War Memorial does include him. His name has therefore been added to the Chapel memorial – see picture. As a result of an article being published in the 2012 Yearbook we now have fascinating additional information about how he deserted from the Navy and then served in WW1 under the alias of Max Henderson – see this article. My thanks to OF John Bridges (S57-66) and Evelyn Empson and her son for finally solving this mystery.

We have also recently discovered from a relative, another name missing from the Chapel WW1 Memorial – Sydney HARRIS (1902-06). He was born on 3 December 1889 in Ely and was killed on 26 September 1916. According to his attestation papers, he joined the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force on 23 September 1914.
He was a sergeant in “B” Company, 8th Battalion, Canadian Infantry (Manitoba Regiment). He is remembered on the Vimy Memorial, Pas de Calais, France. Again it is unclear why his name is missing from the Memorial.
