THE MIDLAND RAILWAY STUDY CENTRE
War Service Records
There are two important sources of information about the men of the Midland Railway who served their country in what was then known as The War To End All Wars. Of course, those who remained home to continue running the railway also served their Country, especially the hundreds of women who entered the workforce for the first time.
• For King and Country — the men who Joined Up in 1914
• A booklet was sent to the families of each of the men listed on the MR War Memorial — each one of them solemnly recorded with name, rank and regiment.
“The total number of employees of the Midland Railway Company who went out to take their part in the great fight against aggression was twenty-two thousand nine hundred and forty-one. Of this number, two thousand eight hundred and thirty-three made the supreme sacrifice, and those of us who are living under the freedom purchased at the cost of these lives cannot allow the memory of their devotion to die.”
— Frank Tatlow, General Manager of the Midland Railway
in his letter to the families of those listed on the Company War Memorial.
November 1921.
