Notes
1. This Roll was the second draft to try and ascertain all the names of former pupils who had served. Advertising had been placed in various newspapers and publications. The results contained either very full descriptions or scanty ones. The final result would be published.
2. The school was about to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The war had shortened the length of stay for some pupils to two years, others had attended for four years.
3. There were ten of these draft lists published. They obviously get longer with each version. The information for some people is repeated in later versions. The result can be a bit confusing, so an Index has been prepared for researchers to be able to see the names. See link below.

2nd Draft Roll of Honour 1914-18 March 1915 Bede Collegiate School (S140.181b)
No.37. March, 1915. The Bedan Page 581
Sunderland Bede Collegiate Boys' School
SECOND DRAFT, somewhat Rough and Incomplete, Made March 22nd, 1915,
OF AN
OLD BEDAN’S ROLL OF HONOUR,
In the FINAL FORM of which Roll it is hoped to place
the NAMES of all OLD BOYS of BEDE SCHOOL (1890-1915)
who were in any Branch of His Majesty's Military or Naval Forces
during the Great War which began in 1914.
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
A. An attempt has been made-partly by advertising in The Times,
Sunderland Daily Echo, Newcastle Daily Chronicle, Newcastle Evening
Chronicle, Newcastle Daily Journal, North Mail and Evening Mail,
partly by personal inquiries directed to Boys, Old Boys, Parents and
various other people-to procure information as to (1) Name, (2) Rank,
(3) Regiment, Ship, or other section of the Army or Navy, and
(4) Present Station, of EVERY OLD BOY now on military or naval
service.
The particulars obtained have been in some cases full and
exact, in others, copious but obscure or contradictory, in others,
again, extremely scanty-perhaps a name, and nothing more. And there
is good reason for believing that there are dozens of Old Bedan
soldiers and sailors whose bare names, even, have not been supplied.
B. The Roll here given is based upon the materials at present available.
It is obviously incomplete, and is perhaps incorrect in several
places. But, having compiled with some amount of care in an honest
endeavour to represent the facts as far as they are known, it is more
likely to be unsatisfactory on account of omissions than by reason of
important mistakes.
The Roll at present contains the Names of 240 Old Bedans (including 3
who left School to enlist), of whom 225 are in the Army and 15 in the
Navy. An analysis gives the following figures:
a. Army: 40 Officers (4 Captains, 13 Lieutenants, 23 Second-
Lieutenants).
34 Non-Commissioned Officers (3 Quarter-Master Sergeants,
1 Colour-Sergeant, 12 Sergeants, 8 Corporals,
7 Lance-Corporals, 3 Bombardiers).
151 Men (112 Privates, 11 Gunners, 10 Drivers, 8 Sappers,
10 Troopers).
b. Navy: 6 Officers (2 Engineer-Lieutenants, 3 Sub-Lieutenants,
1 Navigating Officer).
9 Men (5 Engine-Room Artificers, 1 Wireless Operator, 1 Writer,
1 Ordinary Seaman, 1 Cook's Mate).
(At the foot of the Roll appear the Names of 5 of the Masters at Bede
School who are in the Army. Not being Old Boys of the School, they
are not included in the foregoing Analysis.)
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.
THOMAS EDWARD MICKELS,
Writer in the Navy, who went down in H.M.S. "Hawke" in
October, 1914, is believed to be the first Old Bedan to give up
his life, in the War.
THOMAS FAIRHEAD POTTS,
Ordinary Seaman, was drowned when H.M.S. "Bayano" was lost, March
1915. A splendid swimmer, survivors saw him swimming about for
half-an-hour after the destruction of the vessel. He then
disappeared – perhaps seized with cramp.
We remember these men with gratitude.
C. The figures placed after each Old Boy's Names in the Roll show the
year of his leaving the School.

D. The Roll will be augmented and amended from time to time as
additional information is received and will be published afresh in
each Number of the Bedan which appears during the War. The Roll may
sometimes–as on SPEECH DAY, March 24th, 1915-be published separately,
in the form of a Special Excerpt from The Bedan. With a view to
making the Roll as comprehensive and as well-arranged as possible, I
shall at all times be glad to receive particulars or suggestions from
any quarter.
The whole SCHOOL is most grateful to Old Boys who are now supporting
in arms the cause of King and Country, and also to their parents and
friends. We are wishful and eager, as has already been indicated, to
have a full list of those Old Boys' names, and we shall watch their
careers with pride, interest, sympathy, and affection.

EDITORIAL NOTES AND SCHOOL NEWS.
Bede School was opened on April 28th, 1890. It will therefore attain
its Semi-Jubilee before another number of The Bedan appears.
To schools like Eton, Westminster and Winchester-founded in 1440,
1560
and 1382 respectively-a quarter of a century may seem a period
relatively so short as to be scarce worthy of notice. But,
positively, it is a rather long time-so long that its completion, in
the case of an institution or establishment of any kind, is regarded
as an epoch.
Therefore, had we been living in ordinary times, it is probable that
Wednesday April 28th 1915,
Bede School's 25th Birthday,
would have had some measure of special observance. But the War, which
has led to the abandoning of very many conferences, ceremonies, and
gatherings of one sort or another, will in all likelihood compel us
to let this occasion go by with little or no notice.
It may, perhaps, be of interest to mention that the total number of
boys who have ever been at Bede School and left before August 1st,
1914, is 3,788.
In the early part of the School's existence many boys did not stay
for more than two years; but, as time went on, the average length of
the pupils' school life grew steadily, and it is now at least as high
as four years. A few boys have been on the rolls as long as nine or
ten years.
We congratulate Mr Joseph, who has been made Captain; Mr White, who has been made Captain and Adjutant; and Mr Back, who has…
