The BI War Memorial
World War I
World War II
The war memorial to the dead of BI in the two world wars has recently appeared at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, UK. Its whereabouts during the last few decades and how it came to re-appear at the military memorial site are, for the moment, a mystery. It is believed the tablet was originally in the BI office at 122 Leadenhall Street, London and later at BI's office at One Aldgate, London.
The tablet is a fine, probably bronze, casting, emblazoned with lions, BI's Britannia and Lion badge, the BI house flag and enamelled panels with anchor and wave motifs. It names 230 people in all, 103 of the First World War and 127 of the Second World War, including two women who were stewardesses in Domala. In the transcribed list below, the colours have no significance other than to differentiate between the two wars - the centre three columns containing those of the 1914-1918 conflict and the outer columns 1939-1945. With one or two exceptions the names listed for World War II coincide with the of Roll of Honour given in the book Valiant Voyaging.
