1922
War Memorial (East Wall of Chapel) unveiled by H.R.H. The Duke of York. Housemaster’s house added to North A.
The war memorial was created after WWI following a fundraising campaign which financed the Mural Tablet in stone, on which were four panels with a central canopied figure of St. George in armour. The four panels held the names of the 149 Old Boys who gave their lives in the Great War. The memorial was unveiled by HRH the Duke of York on 6th July 1922. Under the statue of St. George was the inscription: “To the immortal memory of Old Leysians who fell in the war of 1914-1919,” while along the bottom of the Tablet, under the name panels, appear the following words : “My marks and scars I carry with me to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles, Who now will be my rewarder.” The architect was Mr. G. P. Hutchinson, of Messrs. James Cowell & Sons (Whitefriars), Ltd., Wigmore Street, London.
Two outer panels were added and unveiled in 1950 to commemorate Old Leysians who fought and died in the Second World War.
