CHERRY
HINTON WAR MEMORIAL
World War 1 & 2 - Detailed information
Compiled and copyright © 2001 Dave Edwards & Richard Hoye
Cherry
Hinton war memorials are to be found within St Andrew's Parish Church.
The First World War memorial is a wooden plaque inside the church while
the Second World War names are listed on a framed scroll nearby. There
are 44 names listed for World War 1 and 22 for World War 2. In 1949
a line of ornamental cherry trees were planted by The Women's Institute
as a living memorial to local servicemen who were killed in World War
2; in 2002 the cherry trees were removed to make way for bollards on
the grqass verge; the council are committed to replacing them with a
similar species.
To
the Glory of God
and in loving and grateful memory of
the men from this parish who
laid down their lives.

Lance Sergeant, County of London Queen's Westminster Rifles(now

Lance
Sergeant, Claude Leopold Beaumont, was sitting in the trenches somewhere
to the west of Gonimecourt, in Belgium, on the 30th of June 1916
listening to the thunderous roar of the guns that had been bombarding
the German lines continuously since 0700 hours on the 24th of June,
he was part of the Third Army being directed by 1st Viscount Edmund
Henry Hynman Allenby. In the final sixty five minutes before zero
hour, no fewer than two hundred and twenty four thousand and two
hundred and twenty one shells were fired at the Enemy lines, and
ten huge mines were detonated below the enemies strongpoints. As
soon as the bombardment ceased, the attac.k by the allied troops
began, Claude was ordered up over the top of his trench to start
his attack, the Germans came up out of their deep underground bunkers
and manned the machine guns, they could not beleive their eyes when
they saw all these lines of troops half walking half running towards
them, they just squeezed the triggers of the machine guns and kept
firing. British losses at the end of the first hour were 30,000,
by nightfall the British army had lost 60,000 men, the greatest
loss in any one day of it's entire history.
The
body of Claude Leopold Beaumont was found many years later, approximately
1928/29, when the War Graves Commission was engaged in clearing
up the French and Belgian battlefields, and was identified by a
locket found on it. His remains are now buried in the Cabaret Rouge
Cemetary, in Souchez, France, far from Gommecourt, where he was
killed.
