Rev. Herbert Llewelyn Pocock M.A.
Notes from T.I. Pocock:
M.A. Oxon., Schoolmaster, Vicar of St Andrew, Croydon in 1914Notes from Sam Langley: (Researching history of listed buildings owned by Hastings College)
During his reaearch, he discovered an advertisement for St Leonards School, at St. Leonard's-on-Sea, near Hastings, Kent. (See scrapbook) It shows Herbert was headmaster of this school in 1892.The buildings date back to about 1860 when they were private houses. They were bought up by a Rev J. W. Tottenham who converted them into a young gentleman's boarding school known as "St Leonards School". In about 1894 he appears to have given up running the school and the new headmaster was Rev Herbert LLewellyn Pocock M.A.
The school appears to have closed shortly after 1895 and in 1903 was taken over by the Church of England Education Authority and re-opened as a girl's boarding school known as "Uplands School".
Sam now works in the building, and has a large amount of information and photos of it. He would be pleased to provide it to anyone interested. He has no further details of Herbert.

Debt of Honour Register In Memory of NICHOLAS EDGAR INNES POCOCK MC Lieutenant Colonel, IA/853, Cdg. 8th Bn., 6th Rajputana Rifles who died on Monday 15 March 1943 . Age 44 .
Son of George Innes Pocock and Ellen Elizabeth Pocock.Cemetery: RANGOON MEMORIALMyanmar, Grave or Reference Panel Number: Face 34.
The Rangoon Memorial is situated in Taukkyan War Cemetery, which is outside Yangon (formerly Rangoon), near the airport and immediately adjoining the village of Taukkyan. It is on PY1 road (formerly Prome Road), about 35 kilometres north of the city from which it is easily accessible.
The RANGOON MEMORIAL bears the names of almost 27,000 men of the Commonwealth land forces who died during the campaigns in Burma (now Myanmar) and who have no known grave. The memorial stands in TAUKKYAN WAR CEMETERY, which is the largest of the three war cemeteries in Burma. It was begun in 1951 for the reception of graves from four battlefield cemeteries at Akyab, Mandalay, Meiktila and Sahmaw which were difficult to access and could not be maintained. The last was an original 'Chindit' cemetery containing many of those who died in the battle for Myitkyina. The graves have been grouped together at Taukkyan to preserve the individuality of these battlefield cemeteries Burials were also transferred from civil and cantonment cemeteries, and from a number of isolated jungle and roadside sites. Because of prolonged post-war unrest, considerable delay occurred before the Army Graves Service were able to complete their work, and in the meantime many such graves had disappeared. However, when the task was resumed, several hundred more graves were retrieved from scattered positions throughout the country and brought together here. The cemetery now contains 6,374 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 867 of them unidentified. In the 1950s, the graves of 52 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War were brought into the cemetery from the following cemeteries where permanent maintenance was not possible: Henzada (1); Meiktila Cantonment (8); Thayetmyo New (5); Thamakan (4); Mandalay Military (12) and Maymyo Cantonment (22). Taukkyan War Cemetery also contains: The TAUKKYAN CREMATION MEMORIAL commemorating more than 1,000 Second World War casualties whose remains were cremated in accordance with their faith. The TAUKKYAN MEMORIAL which commemorates 45 servicemen of both wars who died and were buried elsewhere in Burma but whose graves could not be maintained.
