Summary[edit]

Description
English: Rayne - War Memorial, Remembrance Sunday 2005. UK National Inventory of War Memorials No.22280 http://www.ukniwm.org.uk/server/show/conMemorial.22280

Hopton Wood stone, 18 feet, surmounted by a cross, unveiled by Colonel William Capper, C.V.O.

"Almost immediately after the outbreak of the 1st World War, in October 1914 the young men of Rayne responded to the recruitment effort and enlisted. They assembled on Rayne Hall Green and it was on this spot that, in October 1920, the present Memorial Cross was unveiled, in the presence, amongst others, of the survivors. Of the 30 who originally enlisted, only 10 returned, and of these, only two were uninjured." an extract from "Rayne, From early times to the present day"

  • Major General Sir Thompson Capper CB, DSO, KCMG spent much of his boyhood in Rayne with his uncle, the Rector of Rayne, Rev W S Hemming. He was one of the fifteen most senior officers to be killed during the War. This Memorial was unveiled by his brother Colonel William Capper.

For more information on Thompson Capper please see his entry on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_Capper

I am most grateful to Ian and Beryl Whiteside for access to their extensive research on this War Memorial.
