8 THE MEMORIAL HALL LYONSHALL. Figure 6 "The porch of the 'Memorial Hall' with its plaque commemorating those who fell in The First World War between 1915 and 1918". History of The Memorial Hall. The Lyonshall Memorial Hall was built in 1922, by Public Subscription, to commemorate the 9 Members of The Parish who had died in THE GREAT WAR. It did not include the two McMurdo brothers as their family no longer lived within The Parish boundaries. The following families were involved in its purchase, building and its future care: Major Stewart Robinson* JP of Lynhales ~ Donated the land in perpetuity. James Ratcliffe * of Crackadonia [Florist & Nurseryman] ~ Chairman of the Trustees. Ralph Holt Bromley Schoolmaster ~ Secretary and Trustee. Captain Lionel Havercroft Green JP, MBE [Landowner The Whittern ] ~ Trustee. Evan William Jones [Farmer The Holme ] ~ Trustee. Major Hubert Ronald Pettit* TD, JP, DL [Landowner Castle Weir ] ~ Trustee. Note*: Three of the families concerned were to lose sons, nephews or grandsons in The Second World War! In 2012 The Memorial Hall is still run by an Independent Board of Trustees for, and on behalf of, The Community of The Parish of Lyonshall.
9 The above group photograph of the 1 st /2 nd Herefordshire Regiment (Volunteers), taken in 1914 on the outbreak of the First World War, shows two of the Landowners of The Parish of Lyonshall who were intimately connected with The Memorial Hall. 2 nd Lt Stewart Robinson of Lynhales Hall (aged 45) donated the land for The Memorial Hall and Captain Lionel H. Green MBE of The Whittern (aged 31) was a Trustee of the Governing Committee. Also shown in the photograph is 2 nd Lt Francis H.L.Evelyn of Hinsham Court (aged 23) who was the nephew of Stewart Robinson. All three survived the conflict but Stewart Robinson s only son and heir [John Stewart Robinson (aged 22)] was killed over Singapore in The RAF in The Second World War (1942) and Francis Evelyn s nephew [Bernard C Harrison (aged 20)] was killed over France in 1940, also in The RAF.

[ 1914 ] Born 3 August 1887 Died 23 April 1915 [Aged: 28]. Killed by a mosquito bite off The Island of Skyros in The Aegean Sea, Greece, whilst serving in The Royal Naval Division (Infantry) on his way to: Gallipoli. THE ALLIED EASTERN FRONT
13 Macedonia / Salonika & Gallipoli Serbia Bulgaria Constantinople Albania SALONIKA Gallipoli CORFU [Britain] GREECE Skyros Ottoman Empire TURKEY Athens RHODES [Italy] Crete BULGARIA INVADED SERBIA (OCTOBER 1915) THE ALLIES APPROACH ISTANBUL (OCTOBER 1918). Most people know that the spark that triggered the War was the assassination of The Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria/Hungary in Sarajevo in After that our attention and memories focus on The Western Front and the trench warfare in France and Flanders. Meanwhile the war continued in the Eastern Mediterranean region! Allied to Imperial Germany & Austria Hungary, and soon joined by The Turkish Ottoman Empire, The Kingdom of Bulgaria invaded Serbia (blamed for the assassination) in October The Allies ( The British Empire, France & The Kingdom of Italy ) came to Serbia s aid using Salonika (in Semi-Neutral Greece) and Corfu [UK] as bases. The Australians and New Zealanders played a key role in the abortive invasion of Gallipoli with the British and French. Three of Lyonshall s casualties were killed in this campaign (27% of the total). Trooper Frank Cowles was among the first of many to die in that war and he is buried in Lyonshall. THE ALLIED WESTERN FRONT
14 France / Flanders ENGLAND Brussels GERMANY B.E.F. SWITZERLAND PARIS FRANCE GERMANY invades BELGIUM & FRANCE (August 1914) GERMANY sues for An ARMISTICE. >11/11/1918.> > a PEACE TREATY was Signed at VERSAILLES, France in JUNE War in Europe had been brewing for many years but in 1914 the spark - the assassination of The Heir to The Austrian Throne, by a random student activist / terrorist - gave the excuse! On 4 th August 1914 Imperial Germany invaded (Neutral) Belgium and France. Thus The British Empire joined the conflict. Allied to France, and guaranteeing Belgian neutrality, a British Expeditionary Force [The BEF] was sent across The Channel. The British Empire, France, The Kingdom of Italy, Belgium, Portugal, The Russian Empire and Siam [Thailand] were now at War in Western Europe with The German Empire, Austria / Hungary & The Central Powers. So began THE First WORLD WAR! The tiny Parish of Lyonshall [Population 660] in peaceful Herefordshire, England, was to lose 11 of its men in The Conflict, 8 of them on The Western Front. The areas in which they were killed or wounded are marked by the Symbol on the Maps. THE LYONSHALL HYMN.
15 This hymn is sung at Memorial Services throughout The Commonwealth and at many Military Funerals.
