Lieutenant William Thomas Forshaw, VC 1890 - 1943 (BBGS 1900 - 1906)
William was born in April 1890 in Sutherland Street, Barrow. He attended Barrow Grammar School, after which he trained as a teacher at Westminster College. He later took up teaching positions in Lancaster and Manchester.
He enlisted in the Territorial Army and was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Manchester Regiment in March 1914. After war was declared in August 1914, he went with his battalion to Egypt to guard the Suez Canal. In May 1915 his battalion became part of the invasion force for the Gallipoli campaign. On 2nd October 1915, his picture was on the front page of “THE WAR Illustrated”. On 18th October 1915 he was invested with his Victoria Cross by King George V at Buckingham Palace, in recognition for his action at the “Vineyard".
On 27th October 1915 Barrow honoured its hero when tens of thousands of people saw him presented with the Sword of Honour, by the mayor Alfred Barrow. (This event was filmed by, and shown on, “PATHE NEWS”, and can still be seen on their website - click here.
Later, James Harris, headmaster of Barrow Grammar School, on behalf of the Old Barrovians, presented Lieutenant Forshaw with a watch, a card case and binoculars.
The unveiling ceremony of his memorial in Barrow park coincided with the100th anniversary of Lieutenant Forshaw’s action in Gallipoli in 1915. It took place at 11.00hrs on Sunday 9th August 2015.
The Mayor spoke about Lieutenant Forshaw, and a Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment Representative read Lieutenant Forshaw’s Victoria Cross Citation.
