The World Rugby Museum in
Twickenham is working on a project in
advance of 2015. The project relates to the
27 names commemorated on the RFU’s
memorial board at Twickenham in respect
of England internationals who perished in
WW1. John Edward Raphael OMT was one
of these. He is remembered at the school on
the plaque commemorating fallen OMTs
outside the Great Hall. It also transpires
that there is a memorial to him in St Jude
on the Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb
(pictured).
Below is an extract the school was able to
send to Twickenham to aid their research
from the School Register 1561 – 1934.
