Roberts, John Ernest Bate. HDS: 30.04.06.- ?.12.? Home: 168, Evering Road, Clapton. Bahia Light Horse, Bengal (83/14). Lieut. attached to 5th Gurkha Rifles, Abbotabad, N.W. Frontier, India (84/15). (86/15). Killed (86/15). The school has every reason to be proud of J.E.B.Roberts who left us last term. During the summer holidays, he and a friend, who were staying in Cornwall, went to the rescue of Mr.C.E.C.Smyth, M.A. (Oxon), assistant master of Bradford Grammar School,whose life was endangered while he was bathing, owing to his inability to swim. These two pluckily swam out to assist him, and succeeded in bringing him ashore unconscious, after a desperate struggle against the tide. All efforts to resuscitate him were unavailing. At the inquest held later, a verdict of death due to heart failure was returned. The Royal Humane Society has recognised their plucky efforts by awarding them medals. The late 2nd Lieut. J.E.B. Roberts, I.A., Reserve of Officers, attached 1/5th Gurkha Rifles, was mentioned in the Dardanelles Despatch for distinguished and gallant service in the field. (91/17) 5th Gurkha Rifles (86/15) It is only three years since Roberts left the School, and to many of us the memory of him remains clear. As a member of Britten’s House and of the School Cricket and Football Elevens, he took a very active part in School life. He was a sportsman in the truest sense of the word, for he always “played the game.” Naturally of a happy disposition, he had a cheery word for everyone. An instance of his noble courage, which he displayed to the full during the last weeks of his short life, was seen in his gallant attempt to rescue a drowning man of the coast of Cornwall in the summer of 1912. As his character developed, one could readily recognise the sterling qualities which go to the making of a true English gentleman. On leaving School, he proceeded to India, and on the outbreak of war he went into training as a lieutenant in the South Lancashire Regiment, and was subsequently transferred to the 5th Gurkha Rifles. Owing to a shortage of officers, he was sent direct from Bombay to the Dardanelles, and in the fighting there he received wounds which proved fatal. 2nd Lieut. Roberts was killed, aged 18 on 23rd September, 1915 and is commemorated on the Helles Memorial, Turkey on Panel 253 (or 264-269).
Roberts, P. Who was at the School only a short while ago, and who is now a cadet on the training ship “Worcester,” has distinguished himself by a gallant attempt to rescue a drowning man near Southend. The attempt was not successful, but the conduct of Cadet Roberts, who is only 14 years old, is to be brought to the notice of the Royal Humane Society. Roberts, W.A. 18th Battalion, R.W.F. (88/16). Robinson, A.F. Sergt., 19th London Regiment (88/16). 2888, Robinson, George Shirley Maxwell. 2 Bn Honorable Artillery Company C.S.M.
