Donald McClean Jacob
27th Bn. Canadian Infantry
21st August 1917, aged 31.
Son of the late Archibald H. Jacob, M.D., F.R.C.S.I., of Dublin.
The information below supplied by 'The Ellesmerian Club', the alumni organisation for Ellesmere College where Donald was a pupil.
Donald McClean Jacob, the youngest son of Archibald Hamilton Jacob, a physician and surgeon, and his wife, Florence, was born on 18th September 1878 in Dublin. Nothing is known of his education until, as one of forty-one new boys that term, he was admitted to Ellesmere College, north Shropshire on 18th June 1890. He was allocated a bed in the ‘Gordon’ dormitory and placed in Form Middle I. There were one hundred and seventy-one boys on the nominal roll.
As Donald was admitted just before his twelfth birthday it is hardly surprising that little is known as to his achievements during the three years he boarded. His progress through the academic forms can be traced and when he left on 13th December 1893 he had progressed to Form Lower IV. There is one solitary sporting achievement recorded – he swam one hundred yards in his final summer at the college. In those days, the college’s ‘swimming pool’ was, in fact, Whitemere. Donald never maintained any contact with the college or the Old Ellesmerian Club and, five years after he left, he embarked for a new life in Canada.
Exactly where he settled when he first arrived is not known but when he signed his Attestation Papers on 14thAugust 1915 at Winnipeg, Manitoba he declared that he was single and employed as a book-keeper. He named his brother, also Archibald Hamilton and a Lieutenant in the Royal Army Medical Corps, as his next of kin in Romford, Essex.
Less than a month later he was taken on strength to the 8th Battalion to commence six weeks training as Private Jacob, Service No. 475113. On 3rd February 1916 he was transferred to the 27th Battalion, the Canadian Expeditionary Force and embarked for service overseas in France.
After a very brief spell to acclimatise to life in Europe he left the Canadian Base Depot to join his unit ‘in the field’. On April 16th, at St. Eloi, he was in the trenches during a bombardment when he was struck by a fragment from a ‘Jack Johnson’ – the nickname the Allied troops had for a heavy, black German 15-cm artillery shell. He suffered wounds to his left buttock and right knee which necessitated his removal to hospital at Remy and thence onward to No. 3 Canadian General Hospital, Boulogne where he was operated on. The operation, whilst successful, was not without its problems and he suffered a severe haemorrhage. At the end of the month he was transported back to England on the hospital ship HS Aberdonian and admitted to the Herbert Hospital, Woolwich.
By June he was improving steadily although he still suffered from limited movement in his leg. He moved to Hampstead Hospital towards the end of May and then spent some time in a convalescent home in Bromley. By 21st November he was back in France and had re-joined his unit, the 27th Battalion, the C.E.F. He was admitted to No. 6 Canadian Field Ambulance for one week in mid-January 1917 and again in February. The latter admission necessitated several months recuperation, and he did not re-join his unit until 4th July 1917. Six weeks later, on 21st August, he was killed in action during an attack on hill 70 at the Battle of loos.
For his military service he was awarded the Victory and the British War medals and his life is commemorated on the Vimy Memorial, at St. Ann’s Church, Dawson Street, Dublin and at Ellesmere College.

George Gilbert Tudor Jones

George Gilbert Tudor Jones
8th Bn. Canadian Infantry
26th September 1916, aged 41.
The information below supplied by 'The Ellesmerian Club', the alumni organisation for Ellesmere College where George was a pupil.
George Gilbert Tudor Jones was described in a local newspaper report of his death “somewhere in France” as being “of a very affectionate and generous nature”. He died on 26th September 1916 whilst serving with the 8th Battalion, Manitoba Regiment, the Canadian Expeditionary Force and his life is commemorated on the Vimy Memorial.
George was the younger of two sons of the Reverend Edward Jones, incumbent at Caerswys, Holywell, Flintshire and his wife, Mary Morgan. He was born in Tredegar, Monmouthshire on 30th October 1874 and two elder sisters Annie and Syssil would have kept him in order at home. The family expanded with the births of Catherine, Mary and Eleanor.
At the time of the 1881 Welsh Census the family lived at The Vicarage, Bedwellty, Monmouthshire. Nothing is known of George’s early education but it was quite common for the children of clergy to be educated at home. Failing that he may well have attended the local National School or similar. He was one of nine new boys admitted to Ellesmere College on 28th January 1889 and was allocated a bed in the ‘Harold’ dormitory and a desk in Form Lower I under the instruction of Mr. George Inglis, himself an Old Ellesmerian who was gaining experience as a probationer teacher having only left the college the previous term. A direct contemporary of George was George William Lloyd. He, too, died of injuries and wounds sustained during his active service during the war.
Records of George’s time at the college are few. On the academic side of college life, he progressed rapidly through the classrooms and was in Form IV within two years. At the end of 1889, the Headmaster presented him with the Upper II Latin Prize. The only sporting record that can be found is that he played forward for his dormitory rugby team. He played in the final game against the ‘Harold’ dormitory on 10th December 1892. His team won 11-8 and it was a fitting victory on which to end his college career. He left Ellesmere less than two weeks later and never maintained any contact with the college or the Old Ellesmerian Club. He was eighteen years old.
In the 1901 Census it is recorded that he was employed as an assistant chemist & druggist on the High Street, Newport, Shropshire. He was 26 years old and single. Later that year he determined that there was a better life to be had on the other side of the Atlantic and he travelled to Saskatchewan, Canada to farm. When war broke out he was established at Raymore. Like so many other ‘ex-pats’ he wasted no time at all in enlisting to serve his King and Country. He travelled to Winnipeg, nearly 850 miles away, and signed his Attestation Papers to become Private Jones, Service No: A/22475 in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He was forty years old, a farmer, single and had no previous military experience.
He was placed in the army reserve and it would appear that he then travelled to England to re-join his family prior to being called up. It was at the Canadian Base Depot at Shorncliffe, Folkestone that he was finally embodied to the 32nd (Reserve) Battalion, the C.E.F. on 11th June 1915. Just five weeks later he embarked for service overseas in France with the 8th Battalion, the Manitoba Regiment. He formally joined his unit “in the field” on 22nd July and was soon seeing action. On 31st August, he was in the trenches at Ploegsteert when he was shot in the left arm, sustaining a serious wound. He was evacuated through Casualty Clearing Stations and Field Ambulances and arrived at No. 8 Stationary Hospital, Wimeraux two days later for more treatment – this all happened in the days before anti-biotics and when anaesthesia and battleground surgery was in its infancy. Two days later, he was back in England and admitted to No. 3 Southern General Hospital, Oxford for more intensive treatment. Six weeks later he was discharged to Monks Hopton Convalescent Hospital, Hythe, Kent. At this stage, he was taken back on strength at the nearby Shorncliffe Base Depot.
George was declared fit enough to return to active service at the end of November and he then returned to join his unit in France. On 27th April 1916, he was docked one day’s pay and fined 10 ½ pence (less than 5p in decimal coinage) “for the loss of iron rations”. At the end of June, he was admitted to No. 1 Field Ambulance for a day suffering from influenza.
Initially, George was posted “missing”. Canadian archives record ‘Previously reported missing believed killed now killed in action. While advancing with his battalion to the attack on enemy positions near Courcellette, he was instantly killed by enemy shell fire”. He was just one of the 2,559 men who died on active service that day including a fellow Ellesmerian who was also serving with the Canadian expeditionary Force – Stanley Edward Bailey. Their lives are commemorated on the Vimy Memorial and their names were added to the War memorial at Ellesmere College in 2018.
For his wartime service George was awarded the Victory Medal, the British War Medal and the 1914-1915 Star – these were sent to his brother, the Reverend Edward William Jones.

St. George Otway Lloyd, Mentioned in Despatches
78th Bn. Canadian Infantry
19th February 1917, aged 23.
Son of Mrs. A. M. Lloyd, of 37, Morningside Park, Edinburgh, Scotland, and the late W. B. Lloyd.
The information below supplied by 'The Ellesmerian Club', the alumni organisation for Ellesmere College where St. George was a pupil.
St. George Otway Lloyd, who was born on 20th March 1893 in Rathmullan, County Donegal, Ireland, was not yet thirteen years old when he entered the ‘Heywood’ dormitory at Ellesmere College in January 1906.
According to the reports in The Ellesmerian of the time it seems that he was quite gifted academically but he also pursued interests in drama and debating, at the same time playing an active part in all of the major sports of football, hockey and cricket, as well as athletics and tennis.
As he progressed through the college he took on board additional responsibilities and was variously appointed Dormitory Prefect, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Debating Society and Honorary Secretary of the Games Committee. His final appointment was as Prefect of Hall just before he left Ellesmere in December 1911.
George, like so many thousands of other young people, determined that there was a better quality of life to be had in the Dominions and, as such, he embarked (First Class) the Royal Edward at Bristol on 18th September 1912 for the voyage to Montreal. Once settled, he found employment as a bank clerk for the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Elgin, Manitoba. His Attestation Papers, held in the Canadian National Archives, reveal that he served with the 34th Fort Garry Horse – this was a Reserve Force Regiment, effectively a Territorial Army Unit, which had been formed in 1912.
After the outbreak of war, the 34th Fort Garry Horse was immediately drafted to local protection duties. On 3rdJuly 1915, St. George completed his Attestation Papers so that he could serve with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He declared his previous military experience, that he was single and employed as a bank clerk. He was 5 feet 10 inches tall (1.70m), weighted 180 pounds (82kg) and was of a ‘fair’ complexion. His previous military experience would have stood him in good stead but it was still nearly a year before he was sent overseas.
His unit embarked at Halifax, Nova Scotia on 20th May 1916 for the Atlantic crossing to Liverpool. Immediately upon arrival they entrained for Bramshott Camp, Hampshire and Private Lloyd, Service No: 147847 was promoted Acting- Sergeant there on 31st May.
Further training in trench warfare etc. would have continued and it was on 12th August that St. George found himself at Southampton prior to his embarkation for the short Channel crossing to Le Havre, France. The battalion boarded three different ships and the battalion war diary records that one ship was delayed due to enemy submarine activity. The battalion settled down in billets and underwent further training as well as routine parades, kit inspections etc. On 24th August, St. George was confirmed in the rank of Sergeant.
The war diary records the unit’s movements on a daily basis and it settled into the cycle of days at the front, time in reserve and rest periods behind the lines. St. George would have been involved in all of this but it is very seldom that the particular actions of an ‘Other Rank’ is mentioned by name in the diary. Weather conditions deteriorated over the winter months and the men had to endure great hardships.
19th February 1917 was, according to the war diary, ‘misty and damp’. The operational plan for the day is detailed in the war diary and had been drawn up the day prior. It’s four objectives were listed as:
1) to kill Germans
2) to capture prisoners
3) to destroy enemy mineshafts and dugouts
4) to collect information.
By 0830 hrs, Battalion HQ had been established at ‘Lime Street’ and various raiding parties were harassing the enemy. Part of the battalion’s orders included the instruction that “One NCO and two men to accompany parties to carry mobile chargers to destroy enemy mine shafts” a role that would, so it would seem, fall to St. George. The war diary continues; “Many dug outs were bombed, one apparently being a loaded mine shaft as the resulting explosion was much greater than would be caused by a mobile charge. A new crater was formed by this explosion 80 feet in diameter and 25 feet deep. This crater has been called “Winnipeg Grenadiers crater”……The mobile charge which caused the creation of the “Winnipeg Grenadier crater” was thrown by Sgt. Lloyd who was unfortunately buried beneath several tons of earth. Casualties 9 killed, 8 wounded”.
St. George was mentioned in despatches by Field Marshall Sir Douglas Haig, for gallant and distinguished service in the field.
On 17th October that year, a fellow Canadian Bank of Commerce employee, Gunner A. R. Hewart, formerly of the Winnipeg Branch, wrote a letter home whilst he was stationed in Loos village. In it he describes his current daily routine and then writes “was up to see the two craters which were made by the mine explosions which Lloyd found and volunteered to blow up. They sure are some size. Just beside them they have erected a large monument to his memory”.
According to the reports in The Ellesmerian of the time it seems that he was quite gifted academically but he also pursued interests in drama and debating, at the same time playing an active part in all of the major sports of football, hockey and cricket, as well as athletics and tennis.

They sure are some size. Just beside them they have erected a large monument to his memory”.
“The Vimy Ridge Cross is made of oak from Carency, France and originally stood on a plinth built from shell cases – the wooden crates in which artillery shells were shipped. It was erected on Vimy Ridge by the officers and men of the 78th Battalion, Winnipeg Grenadiers, where it stood for two years on the edge of the Winnipeg Grenadiers Crater named in honour of Sergeant S. St. C. Lloyd, who, on February 19, 1917, discovered an enemy mine and blew it up, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy and sacrificing his own life. The cross was brought to Winnipeg in 1923 and placed at St. Luke’s where it stood outside, facing the west”.
1701 employees of the Bank of Commerce volunteered to fight for their King and Country. 258 of them lost their lives.
St. George’s life is commemorated at the Vimy Memorial, Pas de Calais and on the War Memorial at Ellesmere College. There is also a commemorative plaque in St. Columb’s Church, Rathmullan, County Donegal.
He was one of approximately 116,000 Canadians who lost their lives in the war. Over 11,000 have no known grave.
