War dead from the Scarcroft School memorial

The following local men are commemorated on the war memorial at Scarcroft School. These are almost all former pupils, apart from teacher Edward Hawthorne. Members of the group have researched their details, using a handwritten record kept by the school in its archives. We're very grateful for help from Hannah Rogers of the York Army Museum in filling in the gaps.
