The North Board Schools were in Black Bull Road.
The site is now occupied by the Mundella School. The memorial is no
longer there; perhaps it was damaged during the Second World War
when the school was hit during a raid. North Board is the
school attended by Walter Tull and his brother Edward, before they
were sent to the orphanage in London.
The memorial is made from polished walnut, and was
designed by Arthur Parsons. The central plaque was created by C H
Stevens; there is a similar one on the
Castle Hill
School. The memorial is unusual in that it commemorates
not only the old boys who lost their lives, but, below and on either
side of the upper central panel, those who served and returned as
well. Walter Tull is named twice:
The memorial was unveiled on Friday afternoon,
29th April 1921 by Alderman Spurgen, and was dedicated by Canon P F
Tindall, in the presence of many of the relatives of those who had
served. Mr Mummery, the head teacher, spoke of all the letters
he had received from his former pupils, bringing back memories. He
spoke too of the valiant spirit of the boys, citing one who had
received the DCM, and then said, "And now I'm going back to win the
VC". He was, sadly, amongst those who lost their lives; we believe
this to have been Edward Goodburn.

We have been searching for information about the
memorial for over a year. In October 2008, Annie and Peter Bamford,
from the Folkestone and District Local History Society, emailed, and
in further correspondence it was possible positively to identify
this photograph in their collection as that of the missing memorial.
We are very grateful indeed to them for their contact, and for so
kindly creating and permitting us to use a copy of their photograph.
We thank also Hawksmoor Wheeler of Folkestone, the original
photographers, for their interest and permission to reproduce the
photograph, and the Folkestone Herald for their unstinting help in our
search.
The memorial was transcribed by
Jean Marsh, to whom we offer our grateful thanks.
11th November 2009
At
an assembly on Armistice Day the Dover War Memorial Project
presented to Mundella School a large image of the War Memorial.
The picture will be hung in the entrance hall of
the school, at child's eye height, so the children' may read it
easily. Some of them may even discover their family name
there, of their own forebears who served during the Great War.
Bringing the Memorial home in the photo are Mrs
Lynn Seal, head teacher of Mundella, Maggie S-K, Founder of the
Dover War Memorial Project, and Mr Neil Hearn, Vice-Chairman of the
Governors.
